I'm getting Darren Anderton, Jamie Redknapp vibes with Reece.

Yep, made of glass.

It won't happen because we are stuffed up with the FFP, but appreciating that we have thh youngster Gusto coming in, i would really have liked us to go all in for Cancelo, who clearly has no future at Man City.  If we could move Cucurella out all the better as Cancelo can play either side and at least for the times that James is injured we would have more than adequate cover there.

Good call on Cancelo, only issue is he is only ever happy as a starter.

I wonder whether someone should now actually look at changing him into a DM. That will put less pressure on his Hammy's.

He'd still be running a fair amount regardless with how we play and are going to play under Pochettino. 

He's just far too top heavy and hasn't rehabilitated his hamstring at all.

Reece suffered a hamstring injury vs Real and is out for the season. Can we please now get him surgery to fix these ongoing problems.

According to Lamps James will not require surgery. Makes you wonder if he is refusing to have the procedure. Prior to this season he was missing 33% of games, with his season ended now this has gone up to 58% missed.

It's a bit of a myth that being "top-heavy" leads to more injuries or that being muscluar makes you slow. Both speed and strength come from muscle mass, if you don't have it, you won't be fit or fast.

The single biggest predictor of injury in young players is intensity. James has been playing regularly at the top level of football since he was 20 years old, much like Mason Mount. His body is not conditioned to handle that stress. It can be managed, but it's impossible to do without him doing some serious gym time and dropping his playing minutes.

For young players these days, who are expected to be guaranteed starters before 24 years old, it is Russian roulette hoping they never have a career threatening injury.

Yeah we tried that approach with Kante, in the end surgery was needed.

He is well on his way to becoming our Ledley King.

 
I thought we'd accepted he was out for the rest of the season so he could get proper treatment for this and be ready for pre-season - why would we rush him back for the final game, a completely meaningless fixture? Madness.

His body cannot be relied upon. A liability at the moment and unreliable.

Been that way most of the season.

Just hope he does not have IBS as that may prevent him losing weight.

I know a couple that had the surgery and ended up with colostomy bags, both regretted it.

Ditto.

Tweaked his hamstring in training yesterday. 

A.) Why is he doing intense training when he was already recovering from a hamstring injury?

B.) Why do they still persist on he doesn't need surgery?

He was listed as out for the season with the hammy. Ruled out of the England squad for the hammy. It beggars belief. Did he have a recurrence of the knee problem this season or am I imagining it? Last season surgeons ruled out the need for knee surgery. Knees and hammies can be related (apart from their obvious proximity to each other!)
