Parker was great when he had modric and vdv around him last season, but he is a step down from sandro now, still a good player but we're going to miss sandro.
Even though signs are it looks long term, there's been no official statement yet as to how long he'll definitely be out. Lets hope it's not as bad as what we fear. He'll be a major, major loss. Statistically been the best DM in Europe this season. Get better Sandro Beast!
Bad news for you lot. Sandro has been one of the best midfield players this season. Second half of the season is always going to be tough when injuries / fatigue etc start affecting squads.
It might be a blessing in disguise. No one is going to come sniffing for him in this transfer window and if he is out for a while, no one is going to want to sign him until he has proved himself fully fit.
This is an injury which is not easy to come back from. Years ago, particuarly in the older players, a career was over with this injury. Sandro will be ok , but it will be a long recovery period.
Certainly similar, but not certain if it's as severe as Gazza'a as I think there's more than 1 cruciate ligament. But even with modern surgery techniques, a return to playing is at least 6 months away and in most cases even longer.
I bet he's one of those that refuses aneasthetic at the dentist! I had a feeling it was bad, at the time I don't know if anyone else saw it, there was one angle that showed his face and I thought the eyes were going to pop out of his head, but unlike John Terry he didn't squeal like a pig!
