In all honesty, when it comes to GLC, we've got the squad depth too. I'm still pissed off beyond belief, but we've got three options for the number 10 role in Lamela, Eriksen and Alli, so I can't complain. If we intended to play him in the centre of the park however then that's a different story, so I hope Ndombele is fit for the weekend.
You know they're all injured, right?
Why did we allow him to go on international duty? Need to start acting like a big club now.
This is spot on. Stupid and short sighted of the player and the coaching staff. For of all things, a friendly. The guy needed to stay back and focus on getting himself match fit to play for the team that pays him a shit ton of money. I’m sorry but this makes me really irritated ?. We need to be a bit more selfish from time to time. And fine, if the guy had been starting and flying from the start of the season, and settled in his new surroundings, then by all means, go play for ur country. But that wasn’t the case on either front. And now he’s out for a spell. And won’t see any significant contributions from him until December at the earliest.
It seems our players really want to represent their countries.
That wasn't the initial statement you made - it was more 'it only happens to us' that I disputed.
I will concede however that this is particularly annoying and concerning as hip injuries tend to be difficult to overcome along hence maybe a longer lay off period to make sure Lo Celso's not rushed back and this turns out a stop start season write off for him.
It doesn't really matter, but I didn't say it only happens to us. Just that it always seems to happen to us. Which it would be hard for anyone to argue that it doesnt.
There must be some injury table stats out there. It must have been years since we had a fully fit squad
Co's were the "Yids"Why can't we have nice things?
I'm sure Lord levite would love to be able to introduce a 60 day cash back warranty clause when negotiating all future signings!Considering he's on loan can we sent him back to Betis for rehab? They'll probably do a better job with him than us. If I took a dishwasher out on loan and it started playing up a few weeks in I'd send it back to be fixed. I rather like the idea of Betis getting him back broken and saying "fuck sake you only had him a few weeks". We'll just make out we didn't do anything wrong, followed the user manual but he started spazzing out for no reason.
You couldn't write it. The delays to actually securing the signings followed by their injury layoffs and unsettled team behind closed doors - I'm really not that bothered by what we do this side of Christmas at the moment.Always good when you smash out £150m on three of the most exciting young talents in Europe and then never get to see any of them play.

I get that we're all frustrated that he's gonna be out for a while, but I would guess Poch was pretty keen for him to go play with Argentina. The issue hasn't been that he wasn't fit before, it was that he missed out on pre-season and was adapting to the club. Going and playing a couple of games with Argentina would have allowed him to build on match fitness, just unfortunate to pick up an injury.
