Don’t think Gundo was ACL, think he was dislocated kneecap or something like that. Sane, Laporte and Mendy.

Unfortunately poor guy had both. He has dislocated knee cap when he joined us (hence we got him somewhat cheap). Then tore his ACL in his first season with us. Amazing that he recovered to be the player he is.

Anyone else thinking that our game against Newcastle this weekend will be an audition for Bruno. G?

Buying him in January seems obvious to me (if he's keen). He knows the league, he's very good and his purchase would surely finally give us rotation depth for Rodri further down the line.

I suppose the real question is, would you rather be a player who doesn't play every game but wins silverware, or be the main man and not win anything? I know a certain lad from Villa who made that choice, I think he chose correctly.

The minor issue of what one receives on pay day is also an important factor usually.

Christ. Amazing how memory can play those tricks, certainly don’t remember losing him for that length of time. I’d say it’s pretty much a player a season for most teams, on average.

Not necessarily. It is actually more normal to allow time for inflammation to subside and conditioning on the knee. Surgery is frequently up to a month+ after the injury

They want to operate as quickly as possible so the stopwatch can start on the healing process, normal people will potentially face that level of delay.

I’m pretty sure we’ve had players fly to Barcelona the night they got injured and be operated on less than 36 hours after the injury.

Yeah, it happens. Like I said, normal people don’t get their MRI done within 24 hours and the kind of care that Rodders does. Due to the 9 month recovery you want to get that underway asap. I do think level of swelling makes a difference though too, but as Rodders was wandering round without a brace and crutches my guess is he hasn’t got significant swelling so should be operated on pretty quickly, if he needs surgery.

Unfortunately, for mere minion like me, my ACL being done next week is 8 months after I suffered the injury! Haha.
 
I can ho

Yeah I called it out in the Arsenal thread a couple of weeks back that no Bluemoon members were celebrating when we lost Odegaard and were showing sympathy. That was classy. To be honest usually we are classier than that as a fanbase but I think the match yesterday has created a tinderbox atmosphere. We've now got Gabriel on twitter doing a Brazilian TV interview saying Arsenal will be 'waiting at our house' for City in february with the intimation that violence will happen. It's bloody Dipper-level stuff now. Reminds me a bit of the Arsenal-Rags matches back in the day and the bad smell around those games.

I can honestly say as a football fan i was dissapointed not to see Odegaard play. Great player. Paying the money we do i wantbto see the best players and best matches...then may the best team win. Only non match goers wish injury.. theres two levels of fans in the main..match goers ..and the rest

He’d have been hooked at half time for Jorginho though!

That gap is critical as well to the ops success...minions never recover properly. Rodri is a big guy and it may be tougher for him than most... you can imagine he'd put some pounds on even with light training

Yeah, I don’t expect my knee to ever be even close to what it was. I trashed everything else too though, which didn’t help, so they had to do meniscus repair and other bits and pieces first, and now my ACL next week. Sore as fuck still now, but is what it is.

Anyone that wishes injury on an opposing player, or rejoices in such a scenario, needs to take a look at themselves. And no; I don't care that other clubs' fans are doing so. Them doing it doesn't make it right. In my opinion.*
