Dani Olmo

[Lee the Blue]

No idea if this guy is good enough or not as I'd be lying if I said I'd seen enough of him. We desperately need a central midfielder and a winger with pace though - that I do know.

As an aside on his injuries, if you'd looked closely at Gundo's injury record before we signed him you'd have balked but he turned out ok.

Olmo vs Wirtz today

i hope dani survives that, last time they tried to kill him and joško. disgusting leverkusen cunts.

Gundo had a serious back problem in 13/14 missing over a year, then recovered but in 15/16 got a dislocated knee cap, after signing for us in 16/17 he ruptured his cruciate ligament.

He didn't have recurring muscle injuries.

 

[Cityfan]

He had shin splints twice, that's not muscle related. He had a calf injury for a month in 19/20. As I said he's not had recurring muscle injuries like hamstring

Shin splints can be muscle related. Do you know the details of Olmo's muscle injuries?

I think this gets done , Leipzig might not want to sell , but their higher ups in Red bull will intervene.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Agreed but Leipzig are hardly some cowboy outfit. We might have a better medical/sport science/nutrition/monitoring team, but not to the level where we can ‘fix’ him. Best to look elsewhere.

Neither are Dortmund, but we “fixed” Haaland’s issues.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Why don't we just pay a few blokes to follow around the Brighton scouts.!

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Neither are Dortmund, but we “fixed” Haaland’s issues.

Again, his style of play is completely different here than at Dortmund. And Haaland is a once in a lifetime player, Olmo isn’t. Haaland was worth the risk.

 

[Bluearmy]

We did very well last season, with injuries, but we have to be cautious buying injury prone players, it can derail our season. We couldn't protect KDB from his hamstring issues :-(

We did. We’ve already had a worse season injury wise and its only mid August. We got lucky last season, with a small squad. Likely won be as lucky again and have lost a lot of experience

How do you know how Olmo will play here yet, should he come?
