[Beard82]

Club admitting it’s bad without saying it

I'm just speechless.

FFS three key first team players, in one season.

All the best to him. Wishing for a full and speedy recovery.

[Olof's Beard]

Getting rid of Dendoncker was a ridiculous decision. Yes, he's limited and nowhere near Kamara's class but he is the only midfielder we have who can play the role. When Kamara got injured at a similar stage of last season, Dendoncker came in and played in four or five straight wins.

Now we're left with an untried kid or a square peg in a round hole.

As an aside, there is no guarantee that a player recovers their form at all after an ACL. So if we need to suddenly replace Mings, Buendia and Kamara unexpectedly because of that, it makes the FFP rules all the more unfair. At the very least, the value of those players could significantly fall.

Get well soon Bouba, we'll fecking miss you!

3 (so far) ACL injuries in 6 months. You couldn’t make this shit up.

[Ger Regan]

Christ, that's a disaster. Sink or swim time for Tim, i don't like the idea of McGinn, Tielemans or Luiz in that role.

[Ads]

He's not, Tim is. Emery backed Tim and we may well have needed to back him or face a points deduction, such is life.

3 first team players with an ACL is unheard of.

[enigma]

Keep seeing these rumours that Konsa has done his too. Hope to fuck that's not true.

[Toronto Villa]

I don’t want to hear anyone ever talk about Spurs or Newcastle injuries. Fuck off. Miserable fucking luck all season. How we have got this far despite it all is incredible. I know we all get a bit fired up at times but we have been so impacted by every long term injuries to key players. And we don’t have the depth of quality enjoyed by the likes of the top 3 or even Spurs, Man U who have built over many years with CL players and money.

I was wrong then, I just can't see how he's done anything serious no matter how much I watch it, shit news, 3 ACLs across the squad in a single season is awful luck.
