Enough of Chelsea rejects; we just got rid of one. If he's not good for Chelsea, he's not good for Liverpool.

Mo?

De Bruyne?

We’ve seen no evidence to suggest he’s good enough for Liverpool. 

 

Sturridge was, for 18 months or so. 

[SasaS]

He gets us. From inside the City bus.

Have to question our medical dept...seem to get a lot of conflicting stories about injuries and players out longer than initially stated.

FFS, no Van Dyk or Gomez v Bayern...

 

I see Chelsea turned down a loan offer for Christensen from Juve - thought he was pretty decent, only played 1 game for Sarri in PL and 40 times for Conte last year..

Klopp saying VVD and Fabinho both missed training as are 'ill' 'just little things'.....

 

Expect an update next week that they are both dead.

Huge loss -- his pace solved alot on the right side.

 

Not sure about the last part -- Ox is due back far earlier than reported

If Fabinho is fucked be interesting to see who plays rb v leicester.

 

West Ham away we need to be stronger at rb as well.

 

I know injuries are all a part of game but this defensive situation is a real worry - very similar to the midfield issues we had at end of last season - injuries are more difficult to handle when seem to be concentrated in one area.

 

As far as my comment about medical dept goes, just seems that way to me - Klopp was saying TAA might make Palace the other week for example....maybe it is just way Klopp tries to look on bright side.

[TheHowieLama]

I would think in public that he would say everyone is a possibility for any game -- just makes sense.

[SasaS]

Hope this doesn't turn into his third long-time injury at Liverpool. It's actually amazing the progress Gomez has made spending so much time out in three and a half years, at his age. 

[Captain Turdseye]

We’re one injury to the front three away from the wheels falling off. 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Might have to dip into the kitty. Hopefully a few will be back,smoke and mirrors Jurgen. Smoke and mirrors.

Big Divvy.

Time to stop pissing about. Just go and kidnap Militao.

[Anubis]

VVD played with sniffles earlier in the season. He’ll be grand.

Might. A past tense of ‘may’. Definition........................used to express opportunity. A chance. 

 

Klopp quoted as saying about Gini and Trent. 

 

"We will see. We will wait for both, for sure really close for Saturday, I don't want to close any doors before anybody tells me to close them."

 

Whats the medical team or Klopp done or said wrong? Gomez has had a complication and the medical team is shit!

As already stated earlier maybe it is down to Klopp trying to be positive but for me you don't have a player in the space of a few days described as "out for a month"..."out for a couple of weeks"...."really close" (for a game a few days away) and then still a "doubt" (for another game nearly 2 weeks later)

 

Just seems like very mixed messages to me...maybe it is just Klopp's way.

 

Maybe he is being fed conflicting stories from the medical team.

 

I read this elsewhere earlier and seems reasonable to me...

 

Anyway, to bring this back on track, I'm really not surprised by the Gomez news which I've said several times before. There's 4 stages of fracture healing - the inflammatory stage, the soft callus (soft bone) stage, the hard callus stage (hard bone) and the remodelling stage. Depending on the bone fractured healing will typically look like this;

Inflammatory stage from time of fracture to around 72 hours after fracture
Soft callus stage from 72 hours up to 6 weeks
Hard callus stage from 3 weeks up to 12 weeks
Remodelling stage from the moment hard callus is formed up to a year and a half, in some cases longer

As the fibula is a non-weight bearing bone it won't take 12 weeks for the soft callus to turn into a hard callus, as soon as that is in place Gomez will be able to train again. This isn't a setback or worrying it's just normal fracture healing. He was never going to be out for 6 weeks only like the club initially put out.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Koulibaly, wan Bissaka, isco and Timo Werner. Then next season make a real push for the league cup.

 

You know United will sign the first two. It's inevitable.

A casual 210m. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Probably end up costing more than that. I'll take the first 2 and tell Keita to practice more.

[Boss]

City or Juventus will probably sign Isco if he's available. Someone like Asensio would be a much better fit for us.

[Boss]

In other news Guardiola has come out and said City can't compete in the transfer market after losing out on Frankie De Jong to Barcelona.
