Didnt gundogan do both?
Tino Livramento
- Thread starter Galvanoth
- Start date
Dislocated his kneecap in 2015, the season prior to us buying him and then he had an ACL the season he signed for us.
The big one for Gundogan was his back injury. That put him out for 429 days. He nearly contemplated retirement by all accounts
2014-2017 was a dreadful era in his career and credit to him for coming back the player was for us. Most players would have been finished off.
He could and should have had a world cup winners medal in the period.
With Gundogan the game is in his head, though. It's the more physically demanding players that are the concern with ACLs. If they lose a yard of pace or a second of agility, it can be the difference between then being world class and mid table.
It's why I am not worried too much with Rodri. His positioning is the best in the world in that DM position. The game is in his brain. He has never been the quickest or most agile.

Partey did Rodri in similar fashion

Real shame for the kid. Arsenal are rapidly becoming the most despised team in the country again. Horrible club from top to bottom.

We'll probably get a good look at Vanderson on Wednesday
Loads better than a second ACL. Pleased for him.

He must be so relieved. Not great still but way better than another ACL.
Who yhe mew kid at Porto putting in all them assits. Add him to the list.
Glad it doesn't lookalike another ACL and surprised that he's got the reputation as injury prone.
Ok he did his ACL and missed a year but thats a big injury that can happen to anyone. Apart from this current injury according to Transfermarkt he's been 'ill' twice and hurt his ankle twice missing 11 games at Newcastle.
