That's pretty much what I expected when he did it, to be honest. Who could've predicted that only having one striker in the squad would end badly, anyway? Literally everyone? Oh, yeah...
That's the season done for us then. Might as well not bother with signing anyone this month cos it's not like we'll get top 4 anyway. Bring through some young players and lets just get this ****show of a season out of the way and reorganise in the summer.
He got injured and around this time last season and by the end some were saying we better with Son upfront than Kane. They were wrong, obviously but Sonny has always been the best backup striker we could possibly expect to get. It's just a shame Jose doesn't want to play him there. But yeah, we definitely need to stop overusing our players, particularly Kane.
You know what's annoying? I basically had the injuries that Kane, Sissoko and Ndombele all have right now last month. At the same time
I think we have to face the reality that Kane is sadly becoming quite an injury prone player. This is his 3rd medium-long term injury in as many years. A lot of that is down to him being chronically overworked, but we can't turn back the clock on that and do things like rest him in cup ties against Tranmere. It is another example of the appalling lack of foresight at the club. We'd had 2 seasons prior to this experiencing Kane being absent for months at a time, yet this summer we took the decision to let Llorente leave without replacing him.
He's a fat prick that breaks into people's houses and wears red and white. Of course he's a bloody Scouser.
Whilst Kane's our biggest miss, he's far from the only one. Wanyama's just totally broken...but gets into the squad every year; Erik Lamela misses at least half a season, every season; Ben Davies is becoming extremely prevalent to injury and has missed most of this and last season with various problems; Rose is overweight, can't run and is unable to play, more than he's available; Eric Dier - see Danny Rose; Harry Winks hasn't had an extended run in the side for 2.5 seasons and is always picking up ankle problems Add in Kane and of a squad of 20 outfield players, over a third of them are injured most of the time. That's before you even think about Ndombele's issues. So, those who are fit are overplayed, like Kane and increasingly, Sissoko...or our managers don't fancy them - Poch with Lucas and Aurier, Mourinho with Foyth, Lo Celso and now Sanchez. It ain't good.
Apparently Tanguy returned to full first-team training this morning. Now we just need to invent a protective force-field that moves as he moves.
