I'd say that's still good news for Utd.probably sane at LWB
He was poor there against Everton I think.

Yeah that's pretty bad form.can people stop mentioning this as great news. just keep it to yourself ffs
My wording was off but the point I was getting at is they would have likely known the extent of the injury pretty soon after it happened, at at very least formed a fairly logical hypothesis based on seeing the same indicators on previous ACL tears.What is this
Hopefully it won't be Sane. Delph did a very good job there the other night against a decent Shakhtar side, and while I don't think he could perform to that level every game, I'd sooner stick him there than Sane.I'd say that's still good news for Utd.

City's first choice full backs are better than ours. I have said plenty of times on this forum that our left back situation is a mess and we should have sorted it out in the summer.People like you say that, but how are we in comparison!?
On the right, we have a converted winger as first choice right back, who even a guy like Mourinho who doesn't like rotation to much is already having to leave out here and there to stop him burning out.
On the left, we have a young "wonderkid" left back who has has completely gone off the grid for 2 years for all manner of reasons.
We have another concerted winger.
A utility player
An average guy in Darmian who can just about cross the half way line every so often.
Who has the better full backs?! Is it really much different if they have to play Delph or Sane there every so often?
Sorry do you actually believe that?He quite clearly doesn't run his account. It's ran by the same PR team as Batshuayi's.
DaniloSo Delph at left back this season then?
Correct. It weakens the area to the point where, as a consultant once told a friend of mine, "it becomes weak as a biscuit" (or words to that effect) as in it'll just continue to happen if too much strain is put on it .Knee ligament damage isn't it? Those injuries rarely allow players to come back at the same level.
It’s blatantly obvious, so yeah.Sorry do you actually believe that?
It's really not blatantly obvious at all. Pretty obvious to me in fact that it's the players tweeting. We'll move on.It’s blatantly obvious, so yeah.

There is literally no shadow of a doubt that Batshuayi runs his account, as does Mendy. Not a chance it is a PR team, at allIt's really not blatantly obvious at all. Pretty obvious to me in fact that it's the players tweeting. We'll move on.
Michy Batshuayi barely speaks English. Mendy has a respectable grasp, but neither has the amount where they’re so proficient to be so precise on English Twitter vernacular. I mean, it’s routine for a PR account to control accounts, I don’t know why you’re so outraged. Mendy’s and Batushayi’s tweets are near identical in style. Both played for OM and are great friends, I think it’s very obvious they are ran by the same PR Team.It's really not blatantly obvious at all.

0:25ishThere is literally no shadow of a doubt that Batshuayi runs his account, as does Mendy. Not a chance it is a PR team, at all
agree to disagree. No way its PR0:25ish
I mean, you can believe what you want, but I’m almost certain it’s PR ran. It’s so obviously done the way it panders to internet memes and twitter vernacular so accurately.
He's played at least 30 in every season of his professional career.Did read earlier that Mendy has only once in his career played more than 30 games in a season, that true? Thats a shit record if true
Speaking a language is different to understanding it and being able to write it, to be fair. I mean, his account may be PR run, but it's hardly like they've brought Shakespeare back from the dead to run his account, he just posts memes and some banter. It's not that far-fetched to believe Batshuayi/Mendy tweet the stuff themselves. Also I just remembered Mendy's tweet when the Brighton player scored an own goal, I doubt any paid PR person would have done something like that.0:25ish

Some people still realize it's just a game at the end of the day. No one wants to see someone hurt to the extent they can't work for a year. Especially someone who knows how to have fun like Mendy.To everyone feeling bad that he's out for the year, have a word with yourselves. Would you rather feel bad for our primary title rivals' players being out for an extended period, or would you rather be happy that it gets us that much closer to winning the league. Let's not kid ourselves. We don't feel bad he's down.
Finally some honesty instead of all this "look how nice a person I am" nonsense.To everyone feeling bad that he's out for the year, have a word with yourselves.

Let's not kid ourselves. We don't feel bad he's down.
He's still going to be paid and he will still be able to tweet and have fun. The only thing he won't be able to do is play for our main title rival.Some people still realize it's just a game at the end of the day.

I watch Football for competition. I would enjoy a title win a lot more if we beat them out their best. And I love Football as a sport I would much rather see talented Footballers like Mendy, Gundogan, Aguero, etc play than to not play.To everyone feeling bad that he's out for the year, have a word with yourselves. Would you rather feel bad for our primary title rivals' players being out for an extended period, or would you rather be happy that it gets us that much closer to winning the league.

Couldnt care less as I dont like him. Just because people think he is funny on twitter doesnt change the fact that it benefits us if City have injuries. He still gets paid an obscene amount of money so not like hes going to be homeless or starving while injured. Injuries are a part of football unfortunatley and we have our fair share as well like every club.To everyone feeling bad that he's out for the year, have a word with yourselves.

Yes we should all pray none of our rivals get any injuries all season so that they can maintain top form all season while we struggle with our usual injury crisies. Anything else is just cowardly.Maybe I am not a "Top Red" but I hope I never get to the point when I am happy about injuries to the opposition. It is completely cowardly. You guys are so afraid of big bad City you do not think we stand a chance against them at full strength?
This. Injuries are part of football and I honestly don’t care about the wellbeing or careers of any rival players.Yes we should all pray none of our rivals get any injuries all season so that they can maintain top form all season while we struggle with our usual injury crisies. Anything else is just cowardly.
whats the issue with Aguero? Thats a huge blow with chelsea tomorrowHe's played at least 30 in every season of his professional career.

Is Danilo so hopeless that after spending heavy money on him two months later they have to replace him already?I think they will find adequate solutions to cover until next season so it's not as grim as you make out but sucks for player, club & Pep no doubt. Mendy always seemed the only obvious fullback Pep had to, for certain, sign this summer. Now injured and out for a significant window of time, he goes the way of Ilkay last season. Tough break
It's an area they needed to upgrade over Danilo anyway and Martin was targeted earlier in the summer which makes coming back to him in January seem a strong possibility. I think their biggest concern in terms of depth will be when, and it's a certainty it will come to pass, Kun goes cold
