Gundogan

[Keeper!]

At least Kompany won't be alone in the injury room now.

lol there's a queue all the way to Alredrley Edge for our physio.

Looking at medical web sites it takes approximately 6 weeks to fully recover from a dislocated kneecap. That would see him training again by mid June....it looks like it is not as bad as some people are making out....let's hope so.

 

[sam-caddick]

the way his signing to us has been talked about in the media for the past few months or so i get the feeling everything has been pretty much agreed for gundogan to become a city player next season, so unless he is going to be out for like 6 months or so i can't see us letting him go off our radar.

 

[CityForever45]

Thinking about it, even if is 6 months, he would be avaible by the start of October. Still worth it imo, we desperately need players of this quality in midfield.

 

[richards30]

i think we should still look at him without question! world class and a type of player we desperately need. maybe offer a lower fee with high stage/appearance payments?

German Jack Wilshere

 

[jimmy blue shoes]

What an absolute dog turd of a season.

Whatever could go wrong has gone wrong!

 

[the_game_161]

So two of our main targets both badly hurt

 

[chris63]

No Euro's, so he will be fresh for the start of the season

 

[IWasHere]

He's gonna be a chubby guy when he comes back from injury

German Jack Wilshere

Hope you meant playing style, cuz Wilshere's kind of a c***.

They do have similar playing styles but was more a comparison of their injury records and how they threaten to stagnate potentially stellar footballing careers

I don't follow Dortmund/Gundogan, so how often does he get injured? If it's like Wilshere's record, then it's pretty detrimental.

He has missed 116 games due to injury since being at dortmund(12/13 season) in the same time Wilshere has missed 90 games. Though over their entire careers Wilshere has missed more.

 

[Lkzerinho]

TransferMarket reporting he will be ready by the beginning of next season

I don't think those figures are true.

Depends on how much damage is done to ligaments & such in the surrounding area. That's also just for general laypersons with standard use of the knee, not elite sportspersons. It'll be longer than that - but it's around 10 weeks (?) to the start of next season so there's a chance he could be not too far off that.

Another problem with dislocating a joint is the risk of re-occurrence increases with each dislocation. My friend did his knee cap when we were at school together & it's happened another 5 or so times since.

 

[Bruun]

I don't think those figures are true.

He missed almost an entire season due to an operation on his back.

 

[almir]

It was one big back injury for him until this one so I wouldn't called that Wilsher alike.

 

[super_city_si]

I was excited by this prospect. I hope it's not too bad and we still go for it.
