Anybody still thinks we are rotating too much?

I blame too many games. If CL is going to have more games, then we need to cut down Serie A to 18 teams.

That I agree, but still I think we are playing way too many games for these kind of injuries to not keep happening.

Cuadrado initial injury was the first issue, but then Dumfries for playing so much, all the time (including the NT games) did the thing, got injured and that was the second issue. We had to force Cuadrado back, he's been playing with pain (mentioned few times by the coach) ie. he came back to play without proper healing back to full fitness.

We got to admit that even if they both were fit to play, they are not good enohgh. Dumfries is strong and have good pace but thats it.

He will be operated by Lasse Lempainen, once an understudy of a great surgeon Sakari Orava, who has operated many football stars.

I feel for him, but this would give more chances for Bisseck to start, if he needs to cover for Cuadrado/Dumfries.

Well at least those two assists were cool and we really needed somebody to do something.

But yeah, old players with injury problems should be avoided.
The thing is he didn't really have big injury problems in his career. An achilles injury isn't something that we had any reason to fear when we signed him.

Cuadrado wasn't a terrible idea from management as a cheap stop gap option for a year. However, you always take a risk when you sign aging players.

In a way, I feel for the guy. It takes balls to sign for us after Juve, and you could tell that he really wants to win us over, but sometimes things just don't work out the way you intend them to, despite your best efforts.

With his injuries, he won't have the time to make us forget that he's a gobbo cunt. 🤷‍♂️

They should cut him now and fuck him off. Save us the bullshit.

Yeah he needs to go immediately in January. Like I’ll give him some props for having the balls to even try playing for us and for seeming to want to make it right with our guys after the Handanovic fiasco. But let’s cut our loses and attempt to at least get someone useful.

He won't accept contract termination without paying him the whole salary. Why would he? He is injured, and can't find a new club now.
