Was a serious question, that injury is unfortunately going to keep him out for some time.
Do you think you need a replacement or not?
Unfortunately, yes.
If we do sign a midfielder, I hope it is someone versatile enough to at least play both the LCM and RCM positions, and maybe the regista spot as well. Would provide nice depth for the whole midfield, and allow RLC to take his LCM spot back when fit.

Jorginho/Kovacic
Kante/X
RLC/Mount
That'd probably make most sense if you're going to actually promote Mount.
As frustrating and infuriating as it is, the problem we now have with RLC is that he's suffered two horrible injuries in the space of a few months. Both are issues that could plague him for the rest of his career, can he be trusted as a starter?
Arsenal learned the hard way with Wilshere. We're going to need at least one adequate backup, maybe two.
BILD say no deal yet evidently but I'd argue he's pretty clearly going there
Who are your other options?
Cavani seems to be the only other reputable link outside of Tammy or Michy.
There's also rumours that Giroud has a one year extension we can trigger, and that Atletico will have to pay €18m if they want to extend Morata's loan next year. Definitely two to keep an eye on if our ban is upheld.
- Hazard definitely leaving as long as a fee can be agreed - Gentlemen’s agreement being discussed with Real that would see them allow Jovic to come to us
- CHO to sign a new deal and take the #10 shirt
- RLC to sign a new deal
- No discussions of Pepe or any other transfer at the moment
- Hazard definitely leaving as long as a fee can be agreed - Gentlemen’s agreement being discussed with Real that would see them allow Jovic to come to us
- CHO to sign a new deal and take the #10 shirt

Don't see the point in signing Cavani tbh at his age or triggering Giroud's clause.
You'd be better off sticking with Michy and Tammy.

WorldWideChels only said it was being discussed. Obviously was never agreed on.
I’m with @Shshj on him, though. Don’t believe a word he says.
What was the actual purpose of the match? I don’t understand ? It would probably of been arranged before you even got to the latter stages of the EL , really it should of been re-arranged for after the final.

Not sure why any priority player would start when the final is the following week. Silly tbh.
But I guess it's all in good fun, get the young players involved and what not.

It was for a good cause, it wouldn’t have looked great, had we gone and played a load of kids. ‘Yeah we care about the cause, not enough to actually play anyone relevant, but yeah we care’
It’s also been said that contractually we had to field a relatively full strength team.
It was an awareness match for anti-semitism, no doubt the club saw it as a chance to increase our profile in the US too. The whole thing was laid on by Roman and he was there, apparently Sarri was told that he had to play the starters which makes sense when you see the lineup.
That doesn't excuse the stupidity of it though. Look at the state of the pitch, someone was always going to be hurt.

Thanks doc.
I’ll settle for LAT, ATC. But you’re welcome.
Functional deficits can persist nonetheless.
May persist, but usually return to normal after 2 years.

They can ❤️❤️❤️❤️ off with buying Hazard then. Better offer a good deal anyway.

I'd still be confident about Ruben and CHO signing new deals though.
The only account we know has a source at the club is CarefreeYouth. He’s been pretty quiet lately though.
That's arguably our three most gifted attackers all gone/out. Watching our attack will be painful.
