If he’s been dealing with unbearable pain since the start of the year it is worth wondering why it wasn’t addressed in the summer like Sons was.
And I bet most footballers play many games where they're completely pain free so they've probably worked through some injuries whilst carrying on playing so think they can with all.It happens all the time though, nobody really wants to go under the knife until it's absolutely necessary.
Right or wrong, everybody will want to try to resolve the issue without surgery if they can.
Surgery is a last resort when everything else has failed.
jtg (remember him?)says brazilian journalist told him he thinks richy is off to saudi in january
dont think this counts as itk
Yeah if we can get good money for him and hojberg and some money for Gil should give us good funds to really strengthen. CB, forward ideally top RW (Williams) and ideally a 6 rotation.Maybe that's why he is having the surgery now.
It also means (if I'm being cynical) that he limits further opportunities to get injured.
We shall see. But maybe this is best for all parties in the long run.
Our recruitment better be top notch in January.

I’d love to see him come good here personally. But if we get silly money for him then we need to be ruthless.If we could get £40m plus for him it would outstanding business and allow us to strengthen by bringing in a better suited and quality striker or winger.
If we don't take the opportunity to move players on who aren't in the long term plans we may get stuck with them for the duration. If an acceptable offer comes in we have to accept it.It's going to be tough to sign a striker mid season. Maybe we could get a wide attacker but I would keep Richarlison for the season. We could use him to cover Son in Jan anyway.
We've been heavily linked to Gimenez and loosely linked to Leonardo. Both players would be available in Jan for around or less then what we would expect to get for Richy. Im sure there are others out there as well. I agree we aren't going to get a top quality striker of the caliber of someone like Lautaro or Osimhen in Jan but we aren't shopping in that market ether regardless if its January or July.It's going to be tough to sign a striker mid season. Maybe we could get a wide attacker but I would keep Richarlison for the season. We could use him to cover Son in Jan anyway.
So like Sanchez then?If we don't take the opportunity to move players on who aren't in the long term plans we may get stuck with them for the duration. If an acceptable offer comes in we have to accept it.
Even if we leave ourselves short this season? If we can get someone in Jan then great but not sure I want to go half a season short up front. Surely he would have options in summer too.If we don't take the opportunity to move players on who aren't in the long term plans we may get stuck with them for the duration. If an acceptable offer comes in we have to accept it.
Let's not pretend Sanchez would have come in and elevated the team in any way. The guy was just as much of a problem as Dier and the rest.So like Sanchez then?
