Diego Carlos

[LeeB]

He was being treated yesterday, got up, screamed in pain then fell back down again.

I could see when the play was still going that he was in pain and wasn't moving the injured leg.

[Mister E]

Bring in a loan player for that.

why? - we have Chambers, Konsa and Kamara ...

[Risso]

Not to mention Feeney.

After waiting literally years to have someone play the Kamara role, it would be nuts to then move him straight out of it.

 Hause is still another back-up option. I get the feeling SG will want an upgrade option should Carlos be ruled out for any length of time. Hopefully we get better news tomorrow on this injury.......

Talk on Twitter (I know) he's out for the rest of the season.

If true surely we need to bring someone else in. Even if it's only on loan.

[andyh]

Even if he is out for a long time, do we REALLY need to buy a replacement?

[cdbearsfan]

I doubt we are going to get someone much better than Konsa/Chambers on loan, so would be a waste of time. If we want to bring in a loan player to give us extra cover we might as well just keep Hause.

[Smirker]

Well, if we don't bring anyone else in, we go into this season with the same team as last year plus a free transfer. I do think we need to strengthen.

[brontebilly]

Even if he is out for a long time, do we REALLY need to buy a replacement?

Nope, four we have are more than capable though I can understand if Hause wants to move on.

[Paul.S]

Fingers crossed but if he is out for the season we need to buy. If we don’t then we’ll end up no higher than last season. Let’s hope the rumours aren’t true and we don’t have to bother.

[PaulWinch again]

If it’s true that’s terrible for him and us.

[Five Villa Tattoos]

The centre of our defence was awful the back end of last season.
If Carlos is out for a long time there's no way we're getting anywhere near the top 10 with the other central defenders we have.
Another central defender needs to come in sharpish.

[Toronto Villa]

This would be an absolute tragedy. For the player first and foremost who started to look really comfortable and assured. And next to Tyrone we were all hopefully that would be a formidable partnership long term. But fuck me, can we not have any luck with injuries. Just one season where we have a full compliment of our best players? Really hope what is being reported is absolute worst case and not what ultimately transpires.

[frank black]

Even if he is out for a long time, do we REALLY need to buy a replacement?

Yes. Ming’s needs competition (genuine competition) otherwise we are no stronger than last season. We can’t expect to improve significantly with just the addition of Kamara. Gerrard saw it as a priority and I would agree
