Rightdm00 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Best to assume we won't see him at anywhere near a 100% for a full 12 months. Anytime before that would be a massive bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdman Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Think he was a quality signing. We do have cover but fact is the team has been weakened. I hope we don't look back at end of season and think what if again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well any hope of him playing well into his 30s is pretty much gone. Hopefully it’s not a complete tear though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Now what’s that old Barca doctor’s number?? Maybe Diego can go pay him a visit. ‘Cough ana***** ste**** Cough’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted August 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2022 Gutted, but this is why we have Chambers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I've been actually working for once and just heard this from a bluenose.. devastating. We need to buy another ASAP. Can Chelsea recall Colwill from Brighton and send him our way? Who else is there? We have to go young now as we'll have Carlos & Mings over 30 by time he's back, Chambers will be halfway to 29 (not saying he's old, don't jump at me) we'll need to go and grab somebody 24-26 who can bridge the gap now. Also can't entertain selling Mings (good!) now either. But we need to do something as we have the same defence as last season now, with the added benefit of having told the best of those he's shit all summer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KangarooVillan Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 No wonder Luiz wants out - were a graveyard of Brazilian careers due to serious injuries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Gutted for him, and it is definitely a loss, but I don’t think CB is a major problem for us with Mings, Konsa and Chambers all good enough to start. We might want to bring in some loan cover as I can’t see any of our midfielders or full backs slotting in at CB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly Gerrard and the club did which is why Carlos was our biggest signing of the summer. I personally think it's a hammer blow for us as it will significantly undermine the progress in playing out from the back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, so the issue is the severity of the injury, not the fact that he's 29 as opposed to 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I obviously would much prefer to have Carlos starting regularly, but I think we’ll cope. Our back 5 is the least of our worries. It’s the midfield and attack that look underpowered.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 From a personal perspective for him as well, it's awful. Big move to the PL, looking to prove himself and probably try to get his first call up in a World Cup squad. He is also at the age where he might not necessarily get another chance for Brazil as well smh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
