So what?

This season he's been on and off with his hamstring. Missing games here and there as well as a big chunk of games earlier.

Now they're struggling to understand whats the actual issue with his hamstring. He'll go for surgery, come back in a few months time. Sold in summer.
So what?
So if it's not his hamstring, it'll just be something else. As all the facts prove.
 
It is is hamstring...

Jesus christ :ange-facepalm:
The point is, why keep putting up with a player who can get injury on any part of his body in his sleep.

Today it's his hamstring. Surgery may fix it, but then he'll just injure something else the next time. And the time after that. The guy barely fucking plays and still manages to get injured.

FML, I shouldn't have had to write all that.
 
Four years of utter unreliability but you want to pretend he's just unfortunate like Veliz. Sell him because he has been an epic waste of money not because his latest injury, just like fat belly. People just don't want to face the reality of this transfer. He's done stick a fork in him. Two of biggest transfers for what they have produced have been shocking value for money there's no hiding the facts
Has he had his issues?

Yes.

But to single him out when our squad is dropping like flies with hamstrings isn't really fair. Maybe it is a precaution by Ange to make sure he isn't out long term.
 
Yep. Pointless having a squad player who is injured when you really need him. See he's out again this weekend. Utterly pointless. If we were to get a reasonable offer this window i'd be tempted to take it.
It's why we need to sell him and Sessegnon. We have squad restrictions and wages to pay. No good having them taken up by players who are unavailable so often.

Yea, exactly that...

No point of holding on to player who is useless most of the time. And OF COURSE he also lets the team down in the moment when we would have needed him the most - when both Madders AND Kulusevski were out of the game.

There is also opportunity cost related to squad spots - if you keep someone who is not usable mostly and is not getting any better anymore at this age, it is just wasted chance. When we could in fact give the place in squad for someone who could potentially get better in the future.
 
Sell him! He's done his hamstring! While we are at is sell, VdV, Romero, Davies, and Veliz as they have all done theirs this season.
Has he had his issues?

Yes.

But to single him out when our squad is dropping like flies with hamstrings isn't really fair. Maybe it is a precaution by Ange to make sure he isn't out long term.

I get that you are trying to be funny and all...

But look at his injury record. Not just hammy - everything. Now look at how much he has played this season, and how many games he has been sidelined. To save you some time, I can tell you -

21 EPL games so far
6 games unavailable directly due to injury ; 3 different ones during this season and 4th in the summer, from which he seemed to be recovering during first rounds
5 games unused sub after returning from different injuries
4 games very limited playing time after returning from different injuries
that is FIFTEEN (!) games from 21.
From reminder he has had 4 starts and 2 substitution appearances.

21 games mean 1890 minutes of EPL football played out of which GLC has played 411
23% of overall minutes.
 
So that means even IF Maddison can start *big if

One of Skipp/Hojb has to play…

If Maddison can’t start…. Both play.

Nope. Kulu at 10.
 
Cash in with who?

Low-ball offers only from here on in. Apparently, Ange doesn’t want to get rid for nothing - sounds like we can’t even Barca to pay his full wages in a loan deal.

Not with Barca for sure; they never really wanted him, despite what people said. They would have taken him on loan without obligation to buy and us covering part of wages most likely. That is basically charity.

I hope there is someone who is actually willing to buy him for like 15 million (absolute max we could dream of) either in Jan or summer.
 
God you're a bore on this topic, it's nice that you've quietly transitioned away from your initial argument that he wasn't a talented player, and are now solely focused on his injury troubles.

Bonus points to you for taking such glee in one of our players being injured, well done you.

No fucking glee. Just pointing out the fact. I see you are not taking it well, are you?
Or does it work in the way that people like you who always have been wrong about him can come out and brag how they were always right after spell of 2 or 3 good games, but when normal situation returns, and people that have been right 99% of the time cannot point that out? Well, that is awfully convenient for some.

I can honestly say that there was spark of hope in me for a moment, regarding him. And now I feel that I'm being let down, so it is disappointment talking here. Why shouldn't I take it out on people that were gloating about me being wrong?

Maybe time has come to admit from you as well, that GLC always has and always will be useless for this club and is 2nd biggest transfer flop this club has seen?
 
Ange press conference before Everton i think

I remember that his answer about any players being available, was "no, not yet" or "not for this game" or smth along those lines.

Which does not mean that "not for this game but he will be ready for next game" - this other half of the sentence is added on in one's head.

So as of now we don't have solid indication of his return time.
