The Havertz's Knee Memorial Injury Thread

JazzG

Also I'd love to know how he has done his hamstring in Dubai, I thought they were out there to relax? So I am guessing the training sessions wouldn't have been to over the top.

Overplayed because we have no other option in the squad, it was probably ready to go.

Claudius

Nwaneri has already been injured this season… likely from overuse as well.
Ayto literally just had to bring back Fabio Vieira or get Kolo Muani. This guy should be nowhere near the club. None of our forwards are safe now thanks to his buffoonery

TambourineMan

Kolo Muani was a miss, could have done with him.

And I don't think it's all on Ayto, Arteta seems very wary of signing attackers. It appears to me that he just doesn't want to even deal with the possibility of a fuck up.

Coombs

TambourineMan this one is definitely not on Arteta.

TambourineMan

Coombs he definitely played a part in us not signing anyone. Might be because he didn't like any of the options he was given (which would be fair enough). I suspect if he compromised we might have got someone.

I was of the view (before the Havertz and Martinelli injuries) that not signing anyone would be worth the risk if it means we land our number #1 target in the summer (whoever that might be). And I feel like Arteta was in the same boat and willing to gamble on us seeing out the season with what we have. It was a high risk approach and I can see why it would have appealed more than spunking our budget on Watkins or some other blocker.

Claudius

TambourineMan agree with @Coombs. Arteta has strategically been vocal in the media about looking for and needing forwards. This was clearly him sending a message to the Kroenkes and Ayto.

A lot of reporting on how Liverpool ended up where they are with all of VVd, Trent and Salah expiring simultaneously is that a couple of seasons ago when they should’ve been renewing, multiple executives were moving. I look at us now with Edu and Vinai moving when we need to lock down Saka, Saliba etc and get a forward and have some nerves.

Coombs

TambourineMan just listen to what he's said, no real need to read into this one.

Anyway, I've been right all along on this. Despicable excuses for two transfer windows from Arsenal.

JazzG

Oh my god....

Sicario2

JazzG good. We deserve this to be honest. I hope Arteta and the board learn from this.

Burnwinter

JazzG Oh my god....

Out for the season. Well blow me down.

Bloody hell though, it's been a year. Fuckin' bullshit all round.

Mirth We’re looking at Sterling, Nwaneri and Trossard as our only options till March.

Could've just brought in, uh … [checks notes] … Olly Watkins and … [checks notes] … ~~we'd be winning the~~ … [checks notes] … we'd be paying an extra £15m a year in wages!

QuincyAbeyie

We reap what we sow.

Segway

You can only laugh.

JazzG

I still can't get my head around how badly he has torn his hamstring in training, in game I could understand but they went out there mainly for recovery and chilled out sessions.

The club and manager gonna get it in the neck now and they'll have to cop it.

Sicario2 This is the history of the club man, 98/99 we lost out on another double due to not strengthening and has happened loads of times since. Our unbeaten season only happened because we got lucky with injuries as well. This year has been bad though, have there been any fitness changes this season because last couple of years we've not had injuries like this despite having thin squads.

Qwiss

Who could have foreseen that the guy who plays 90 minutes in every single game would get injured?

Claudius

Qwiss not a damn soul

flobaba

Well, we rode our horse.

And now it's dead.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

JazzG remind me about 98/99. Was it in the 98 summer we didn't strengthen? I think Kanu came in the winter, right?

Claudius

We just fucked a season by not having a Kolo Muani or Morata around to spell our guys. I’m a big believer in being able to level up at 70-80 minutes.

I still think there is a chance in the champions league but league is done and dusted.

Mirth

Astounding that we didn’t even bring Vieira back from loan.

Claudius

Mirth is this is the shocking one given that he plays Saka’s position and Nwaneri was already dealing with injury. It’s just a sensible step we should’ve taken January 1st while trying to figure out our next steps elsewhere. Minimize risk.
