I wonder if he could have it done in Italy, given everything he’s gone through this year could be good to have it done back home with his family by his side and spend time with them while he’s recovering.
 
Really? Kulusevski and Lucas were injured for ages as was Richarlison who was still match fit. Gil played well for 60 minutes v palace. Who else exactly was he going to pick?
he dropped kulu so richarlison could play earlier in the year instead of son, this was about 10 games into sons rut where we are carrying a passenger. hes showed son favoritism that ive never seen before. ive never seen a player play so poor and not be dropped, especially when theres been quality backup. cant think of another situation like it.

richarlison then played on the right! the last place you want him in the front 3. so it was double nonsense. all so son could carry on dragging.

gil would of offered more than son in all them games this year, its impossible for him to of been any worse. the rigid mug could of also changed the poxy system that he didnt have the players for? but maybe thats asking a bit much from a bloke on 15m a year
 
Had my gallbladder removed a 4 years ago, was cut open from the stomach. I was in hospital for 3 weeks as couldn't and didn't want to eat afterwards . Lost 3 stone in weight. Took me a few months to recover.
Mind you I had pancreatitus.
 
It’s to do with diet apparently. Probably all that hotel food he’s been eating.
Diet can definitely play a part. This stuff runs in my family so I try to keep track of what I eat because of it. And stress is probably a big factor as well since he does have a stressful job and not to mention a stressful year with all the stuff happening to him on a personal level.

And some just are medically predisposed to issues like this.

I'd be more worried that a few weeks back home enjoying being a multi-millionaire living the life of luxury with his family might leave him wondering why the fuck he'd want to come back...
 
Imagine if his gall bladder has been the secret ingredient and removing it basically turns him into The Dude.
I'm genuinely curious to see how that would work out

I’ve got stones in mine!

Fuck all to do with anything but I just thought I’d mention it

Benign apparently unless they block the spleen

Guinness is good for them apparently so thumbs up for my GP

You seem to be under the misapprehension that Conte has any control of transfers at all. Do you not think he wants these players and actually wants players like Dier and Davies in his defence rather than actual top draw defenders? Surely you can’t think that, it makes zero sense.

I don't know, maybe Levy has cloned Conte and made him talk.
I don't remember at what time, but there was a press conference when Conte said that he is satisfied with current CB options.

It does not say that he would be happy with it, but based on public info, quotes and comments - I do believe that Conte saw RWB as more important position than CB. Which is absurd - even without being top class, Doherty is much closer to being good RWB than Dier or Lenglet are to be good CBs.
 
So, just a question for any of the "Conte's going to take us to the promised land" folks out there...considering this Porro deal is a tacit admission that any improvement that Conte has to bring to THFC will be player/transfer dependent and individual-brilliance focused, do or can we expect to see an improvement in our performances and results with the new 45M, wingbacky greatness of Porro (as well as Danjuma, the essential dribbler so needed to execute the intricacies) brought in exclusively for him and his tactical needs? And if so then when?

Considering it is out of the norm for us to do real January business (as a general rule and policy...as stated many times by those in charge of such things) and this seems for all the world to be real January business, I would assume we'll be seeing relatively immediate results...especially considering we are talking about a winger/WB which is very much an individualized position unlike CB or MF.
 

Because we went 10 games and 10 points in the league, conceding 21 goals in process.
My eyes are still bleeding from this turgid shit I had to endure.

Plus I am honestly pissed with how we treat players.
Sarr was brutally ignored, then suddenly thrown into deep end, and then frozen out again.
From start of the season until now promising youngsters like Sarr, Gil and Skipp have played 200, 311, 394 minutes. From 2700 minutes across all competitions. But this is nothing compared to 45 minutes Spence earned during the same space of time.

We are neck-deep in shit now, still spiralling downward and also fucking over and shipping out next generation of players.

But suit yourself - maybe you are happy with roughly 1 point per game in EPL and one of the worst defensive records in the league. I know I am not.

Kane was trash last year but Conte stuck with him too and eventually he turned it around. I think Conte thinks last years PL golden boot winner can also turn it around. Its not impossible.
