Definitely don't loan out Gnarby now.

i'm not sure. we'll probably search more in the market, but there isn't much out there in january. and now people know we're even more desperate. will only inflate prices more. really sucks.

at least Ox is back soon and Gnabry looks ready for a larger role.

They will both be counted on heavily. We are going to miss Theo. He is the player that is most feared for us. Especially in Europe.

Things were going way too well for us. This was inevitable.

i cringed when i saw his knee buckle. But here are once again not going to ever have a full squad at our disposal. The injuries over the last 7 years have been laughable.

Jesus Christ I hope this isn't the Eduardo leg break or cesc leg break part 3. Every time we're remotely in the running for anything we get a freak long term injury to one of our best players

if you want a slight sliver of good news, our 16 yo phenom Dan Crowley has two assists in the first half of our U19 match today. kid is going to be a stud. he will be getting first team PT next year, no question. not saying he's near as talented, but he plays very much like Iniesta.

i really think this team is stronger mentally. i think we can hold it together better than in years past. still a crushing blow. can't emphasize enough how much Gnabry and Ox need to step up.

I think so as well. We are winning matches that we would have lost in past seasons. Still a huge blow.

I hope his career is not ruined. His athleticism was what made him an excellent player. Hopefully he can adapt.

agreed. i really think he can recover fully. these days, doctors are miracle workers on those injuries. and we are in no need to rush him back. should have around 8 full months of recovery before training camp even starts for next season.

While true his lateral movement will always be affected I think. He was really impressing me as a striker with his movement. I'm super disappointed by this. I hope he can still be an effective winger. This will force him to change the way he plays, which was an eventuality considering his pace wouldn't last forever.
