The thing is, although we have options, non are KdB and it will be a loss. Not an excuse but merely a fact Mahrez did achieve the accolade of player of the season though didn't he and that really ain't bad back up. My point being, there are losses and then there are losses.

He is a MASSIVE loss, irrespective of who we have as back up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he inches up to 3/4 I'll be thrilled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he keeps his on head on straight for the entire season it'll be a plus. He'll score some goals no question, but he won't general the attack like KDB.

Thats not taking the p*ss its trying in some small way to remind you lot of the real situation. And the absolute horseshit about blaming owners for not spending simply sums it up in that you have to have clearly lost track of basic financial restraints since money arrived on tap.

In fact, only this morning I said there is no denying it but to lose KdB is a massive loss. And it is. Particularly if we want to progress in the CL, every key player needs to be available. If you say otherwise, I'm not talking to you again ? as there is no reasoning with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for having the cheek to say what everyone without blinkers already knows. For info. You, yourself said there was a transfer kitty and you, yourself said that Poch had identified 3, yes 3 targets. Therefore, money was available but you didn't get your guys. Who the bladdy hell else is there to blame. Oh wait a minute. Yeah, let's blame City again cos Spurs didn't make a single transfer.

Absolute nonsense I'll just say that if there were indeed three targets for Levy not to have secured any of them is piss poor. The only mitigating factor in this could be astronomical demands from club and player. Mind you I'd have liked Mbappe, Pulisic and Bale too I suppose......Poch has the same idea as me really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Think somebody mentioned KdB has the same injury as in 2016. Not yet been announced exactly what injury he has except it's to his knee. In 2016 KDB missed 10 weeks and 12 games of the season due torn ligaments in his knee AND ANKLE.

BangrakBob Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 There are about 4 weeks of International breaks througb Sept and Oct, best time for KDB to injured, if there is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
