Bad news for Manchester City after the excitement of a new signing...
Manager Pep Guardiola says winger Leroy Sane will be out for six to seven weeks following the injury he suffered against Cardiff in the FA Cup on Sunday.

And, of course, nobody is daring to point out a particular statistic that, of City's 37 games this season, Sane's started in 27 - and the main reason he didn't start in those ten games wasn't for tactical reasons but due to him picking up knocks, having a cold, or recovering from nose surgery.

You're like a dog with a bone with this! That tackle would have injured someone playing half the games. It was a bad tackle or at best very mistimed and playing time had no bearing on it.

There's a reason I keep bringing it up: there was no reason to have Sane on the pitch in the first place, because when a team is competing in four competitions it's bad squad management to field the same players week-in week-out.

Remember how stressed several posters on here were a couple of seasons ago because we were kept starting the likes of Kane and Eriksen in fixtures they clearly should have been rested for in both the Europa League and Season Killer Cup, to the point you could almost feel the board cringe every time they were limping after an agricultural tackle? That's what Guardiola's been doing all season, and it was always going to be a matter of time before it bit him.

With analytics on data from places like physiowatch etc,
you could have given Pep the stats on the likelihood of a
bad injury to an attacking player (whatever the cause) .

And Citeh are one of the few squads where they can spread
the load better. Oh sorry they cannot, because according
to Pep Citeh are unable to afford 22 "top" players.
 
West Ham, Newcastle, Valencia are all interested in Manchester City defender Eliaquim Mangala

So that's two clubs who presumably haven't seen Mangala play and one that's little more than a shopping window for Jorge Mendes - who just so happens to be Mangala's agent...

Are West Ham interested every single player that is not playing regular football in the premier league?
 
Arsenal teenager, Marcus McGuane, would rather play for Barca’s B team than Arsenal’s first!
