When I see a player being bought for 16 million I think wow they must be a top player, but really that fee is about the level of a prime Zat Knight. Like how when I saw Steve Stone being purchased for 5 million I thought yeah he's probably a pretty average premier league midfielder, but someone who saw Roy Keane be bought for 3.75 million probably thought Steve Stone would be a world beater.
I mean he did get a hattrick against Chester, but I wouldn't say he was better than Roy Keane.
Edit: Having said that though, Roy Keane never scored a hat trick so...
Edit2: Steve Stone was an unused sub against Chester and didn't score a hat trick. My brain is mostly cake.

You are right that this is similar - you can also see the "pivot shift" mechanism here.
When you rupture the ACL, the femur (thigh bone) moves out of place on the tibia (shin bone) but the bones suddenly clunk back into place.
With Owen, his foot is still on the floor so his femur clunks forwards.
With Mings, his foot was coming off the floor so his tibia clunks backwards.
The term "pivot shift" is normally used to refer to a test that surgeons do to produce this clunk and diagnose ACL injury but the same clunk is what you are seeing here.
I'm probably going overboard here, but just in case anyone is interested, here is an article about what causes or stops a pivot shift.
Do you think it could be PCL then?

Although about 15 years ago people were messing about with getting people back in 4 months, it seems to have gone back to more what it was before then which is 6-8 months.
I am a bit cautious so would be aiming for back to training at 6 months and playing at 8 but people have got back in 6.
However, I was surprised by how much pain Mings was in, which could suggest he has done more than his ACL. If other ligaments have been badly injured, it is going to be longer than that.
I would like to know how quickly his pain settled down because ACL injuries normally hurt when you do them but can settle relatively quickly because the ligament is completely ruptured and there is nothing to "pull" when you move. . Okore is an example of many who go back on and try to continue.
The final thing is that the irony is that there are professional athletes who have coped without an ACL and didn't need surgery and came back much quicker.
In the past, there were tales of New Zealand all blacks with no ACLs and I heard from someone at Wolves that one of our ex-players in the 80s/90s went in for a small knee operation only to find out he'd ruptured his ACL at Villa and never knew. And he was pacey and a dribbler.
The problem is you can't predict accurately who doesn't need surgery and clubs won't risk several months of rehab to then have a player need surgery anyway, so all pro athletes have ACL surgery now whether they need it or not.
I posted this before, but Mings' looked like Owen's. Maybe less severe. The unhappy triad. It's the injury I got skiing and my knee went over like Owen's. I also had a segond fracture.
During my rehab I watched this video of Owen over and over and it made my stomach turn. Like licking a pizza burn on the roof of your mouth

I think it is a choice between two attacking players or three. Zaniolo is looking quite likely based on the amount of noise around an agreement with the player, the structure of a loan to buy deal, etc. For me that's the upgrade on the Bailey position (I still think Bailey gives us options from the bench or to rotate). I also think that we've been linked with far too many left-sided attackers to assume that we aren't planning to bring in someone there who maybe offers something different to Jacob or Emi. So regardless of whether Zaniolo signs or not I would expect a similar type of player to come in on the left who can run at defences and create chances within a 4-3-3 (when we are expecting to have plenty of the ball and dictating play) but who could also play as more of a 9 / 10 if other players (Ollie / Diaby) need a rest / get injured. That would give us Diaby, Zaniolo and A.N. Other to provide options through the middle if Ollie is out for example. None of them necessarily an out-and-out striker but all could do a job and would also get plenty of game time when Ollie is playing. The question then is do we need a low risk "filler" type player as cover / a different type of option for that left-sided signing and Ramsey - given how many games there are and the fact that Coutinho is unlikely to be able to play 20 odd full matches. In that scenario the link to Harrison kind of makes sense - he'd do a job and was available for loan (with potential to sign depending on impact and also when Buendia comes back) so therefore not much outlay. So two signings to improve the first team (or provide alternate approach based on opposition) and a Chambers / Harrison type loan with options to maintain the squad depth with Emi being out for so long.
I'm sorry that happened to you

I can't separate how awful Peter Drury's commentary is on PES and how he sounds when commentating in real life.
Can't stand the sound of his voice.

20 million for a starting midfielder for Chelsea. Pretty good deal for them.

11 minutes injury time. People have places to be you know

Why does the spurs keeper keep making this face?

How did the ref not give that initially? Not soft at all

Brentford have no water at their stadium so the match is delayed. Even though the players are out on the pitch. Awky momos

Just watch his calf ping.
Sickening stuff.
When I did my ACL (saving a family of toddlers from a burning building or maybe it was from skiing, can't remember), I watched this video over and over. Seems reasonable innocuous, but a sickening injury.
I've seen a Newcastle fan has posted a zoomed in video of Ty's immediate reaction to the injury. It's clear he thinks he has done significant damage. Hopefully it's just some meniscus damage, but I think we all know it's not that.

So Elon is going to fight Zuckergerg in a cage fight.
Am I reading a parody version of the internet? Can anyone give me a link back to the actual internet please?

Kevin MacDonald should never be allowed to take control of a game ever again.
The sooner Unai is back, the better.

Emi could have gotten red there.
He didn't, so he decided to put his hand into the face of the newcastle player to celebrate

I am legitimately angry at the officials. Just **** flag the offside and he doesn’t need to make that run.
Was it actually an offside?

What a great ball.
Diaby needs to do better there

Feels even worse knowing how close Mings was to finally making it to European ball too.
Hopefully he'll be back in time for the final

Yeah we'll never know what could have been. But I now need to just accept we need to get by best we can.
We can't be allowed to have hope. Football had to do this to us and to poor Mings and Buendia
Ah here. He's a solid central defender but we have others. Get a grip
