Wants a new name
Can't believe some people don't rate Granit. He can pass the ball to the opposition better than Sambi ever couldMan this is such a dead joke…this was the perfect opportunity to piss off the Xhaka haters as well.

Back in January. Or maybe earlier depend on his knee.How long he injured? Couple months hopefully?

I think he'll back earlier than expected his knee didn't go to operation and his knee haven't had major operations before i won't be surprised he hack in December.1st Jan apparently.
Hopefully he is back then because at best Elneny and Partey would leave for AFCON two days later.

Yes that leave us with AMN and Lokonga lol without backup i think we'll try to sign midfielder in January.Would be huge.
Earliest Partey and Elneny could leave is the 27th so that would help cover us.

He is my least favorite player, I think when he keeps his cool and plays with controlled aggression as opposed to silly cards he is average. I’d rather play Sambi there with Partey in Xhaka’s role. Xhaka also has a huge number of bad giveaways, he doesn’t like to be pressured. And when he does give it away he can only recover by taking a bad foul. And for all the talk about his left foot he assists or scores a goal once a blue moon. Doesn’t pick up many key passes either, no offense the guy is worst player in starting 11. He can be good for a lot of clubs but he is a mediocre premier league playerThis is the crucial point on Xhaka imo - he might not be amazing, but he's important to this squad. We'll manage without him, but just watch as the spot light gets turned onto Lokonga now. Hopefully he can adjust to the pace and the team fairly quickly. I'm not surprised that he struggled against Brighton though - it's a big ask to come in as a new young player from a lesser league and immediately be Top 6 standard.
This is good news. 2 months to build a midfield without him finally.Back in January. Or maybe earlier depend on his knee.
He wont be rushed back with the sort of injury he has. People talk about determination to get back being a factor but it isn't. There's a set time period for ligament injuries and nobody is going to under cook his healing time. 3 months minimum makes his return date early January, but similar injuries to other players have been nearer 4 months, so expect February.
We have to get someone in on loan at least. If they’re earning their money they should be thinking about this now. Still time for players to come to the fore in the next eight weeks though. If it turns out that the midfield situation costs us a Champions League place, that would be a slow motion ****ing disaster.That’s a nightmare scenario.
Playing away at Sp*rs with only Lokonga and AMN as midfield options unless Edu gets a midfielder in the first two weeks of January.
If we have to release players on the 27th December that means they’d have to play against City as well.
