Injury history

Laporte had a good injury record until the present problem. Why are we interested in so many injured players?


Season injury from until Days Games missed
15/16 fracture of the tibula Mar 24, 2016 - 57 days 10
15/16 Knee injury Nov 5, 2015 Nov 21, 2015 16 days 2
14/15 Muscular problems

I can't see beyond Mangala and Otamendi as the CB pairing for the CL qualifiers. Kompany will not be fit. Laporte is also be coming back from injury. If we sign Stones, even if Everton do not drag out the transfer until mid August, he will be a late arrival after the Euros and doesn't seem to me to be the sort of player that should be thrown into a CL qualifier after spending very little time at the club. If we do sell Mangala I cant see it happening until the final days of the window, more likely on a loan deal.

The 5 is set. Pogba, Gundogan, Laporte, L

We can fix the rest later

I can't fault what you are doing. Injury has to be viewed as a talent if we really want to get the best out of our team.

We were interested in Laporte and Gundogan before they got injured, just our luck that two of our primary targets had to get lengthy injuries.
 
Injury records should be very high up in our criteria for identifying targets. We can't afford more silliness on the medical front. Look what having an injury fee season did for Leicester. Well, that and the cyro chamber ... allegedly.

Wiltshire, Gundogan and Laporte have serious injury problems. I trust they make a full recovery. I want City to sign players who are fit to start with and hopefully can give us a full season. We carried too many injury problems this season, why sign more?

You would think that we are looking to sign these players for a few month only the way you go on about injuries.

They are both recovering from nasty injuries. They have hardly been like Kompany or Wilshere for the past 3 seasons.

Gundogan and Laporte could be permanent fixtures in this side for the next 4 years minimum. If we sign them and they are not fully fit until October then so be it. The question you should really be asking is will they both improve the team?

The answer is quite obviously yes and I hope we sign the pair of them rather than someone who is nowhere near as good just because they are currently fit.

I think Credo is asking one of the relevant questions: Are they injury prone? If the answer is yes. We probably should shy away. And Wheelchair should not even be in our consciousness. The fact that he keeps coming bup is worrying. There are players with great injury records who play year in year out, some of them are stars or stars in the making too. We should always lean towards the less injury inclined.

Navas, Otamendi, Dihno, and Yaya all have one thing in common. They rarely got injured. Havev14 of those types and you can build a great team from the consistency of participation. Let's not forget, we knew about Aguero, Kompany, Delph and the Striker we sent to Malaga and a host of others.

We simply have to start rating injury probability as a talent.
 
I find it amazing that once we have a clear target in sight fans (including myself) fail to see the alternatives that exist around that option. This is one promising young centre back out of hundreds we could buy, even though I really do like the sound of the guy and think he may still be worth the punt, there are many players who could do just as good a job, if not better, available in the market
