Unlucky is an understatement. You just can't plan for a player (Harvey) getting hacked down and out long term or Curtis suffering a freak eye injury that will keep him out for weeks. Even JĆ¼rgen said something along the lines of "as a manager i thought i had seen everything regarding injuries but Curtis' eye needs time to heal".
It's fortunately or unfortunately. We do have enough midfielders on our books. Those who distrust our squad players would go - but we should have bought someone to cover Gini anyway. It's easy to say. But then who should we have bought? It's easy to just name anybody we like. But try getting the deal done and coughing out money. We do have backups like Taki and Ox. So JĆ¼rgen will use them somehow.
Turnaround fans would say... If FSG has anticipated this, we would have had a cover for Gini. It's their fault now that JĆ¼rgen has to use Taki and Ox. What's wrong with using Taki and Ox? We don't trust them. We should have gotten a big name in anyhow.
And if we drop points... See? I told you so. It's Gini we didn't cover. That world class player who went to PSG and often disappears in our games.
Fortunately or unfortunately...
