What a shame. Not only crucial to our system but his personality clearly boosts the morale of the squad. The only positive is that we'll probably reinforce the position in January which is something we needed to do anyway.
On the plus side Gundogan is back, another player who is a pivotal part of how Pep wants to play.

On the bright side, he'll have more time to devote to his squad morale boosting duties while he recuperates.What a shame.

I wouldn't worry too much about the money. The problem is going to be finding a suitable replacement.By the sounds of it minimum 6 months possibly the season. The club's who have decent LB's will be rubbing their hands, we'll get rinsed as everyone knows how desperate we are.

We signed Gundogan with a broken knee cap and could hardly have been surprised when he soon did his cruciate.
50 million down the drain if he's out for the season and then the new Kompany/Gundogan in terms of being crocked for future seasons. Now we'll need to spend more big money in January on a left back.
Club will be insured against this. Seen one of these policies, cost a fortune.

Oh who gives a fuck. How can you still be crying over the idea we might spend 5-10m more, it's fucking nothing, peanuts.

We're doomed, I tell ye!Problem is EVEN if Delph can cover, he's as injury prone as the Komp's, Gundy etc.

Pep's quote about signing a new left back and Mendy still being out in January starts with a big IF. There's no point getting too carried away for the time being.

Still be crying. WTF you on about?
I'm concerned our budget needs to cover other areas in addition to LB.
Sign Ghoulam from Napoli in January. Let's face it Napoli won't win the league, not with Reina in goal.
He is free in the summer and Napoli would probably ask for £10-15m max in January.
I'm sorry to say but Mendy had injury issues in the past. Gundogan also did but at least he was cheap. Bad planning IMO especially not getting a back up. Delph is probably the best option but even he has injury problems.

The fact he even said it didn't make things sound too promising though. Hope for good news but not holding my breath
We seem to be pretty well stocked all over the pitch at the moment so not sure why we need to concern ourselves about spending on a fullback.Still be crying. WTF you on about?

Danny Rose should be fully fit by Jan.

Wonder if we might go back in for Bertrand if it turns out to be long term injury or would he be deemed not good enough ...

Pep was asked if he would sign someone IF mendy is out long term. Knee ligament injuries are notoriously difficult to diagnose. Calm down until we know more.

Still think we're short at CB and need another striker. Time will tell.
Even if we bought for those two positions we'd still be able to afford a top class LB with our budget.Still think we're short at CB and need another striker. Time will tell.
