Modric does not look 39. Pressing, covering ground and tracking back, dynamic and agile, still completing takeons. This guy is incredible incredible.
Club won't sign anyone in January. TAA will be the main target for the summer, but Pool will try their best to keep their homegrown star. Hope Fortea gets a chance in our first CDR game whenever that is.
Left the house right before Mbappe's substitution. Was following the game via X. I feel really sad for Carvajal. When I read he was screaming, I couldn't help but think the was it for him.
I am not sure if he can return by this summer. He probably understands that Perez will find someone as his replacement either in the winter or summer. He will also be 33 years old by January. With an ACL injury, it will be tough to beat out the new comer. So, this is career defining moment for him, I thnk.
They need to watch his minutes, otherwise he will be burned out by January. Hopefully, some of the injured players return soon. It is not even a question of their quality, they just need healthy bodies they can throw on the field.
I think TAA is coming next year, i just do not know how I feel about it. I been roasting him for years over his defensive efforts. I do not think Fortea is ready for prime time, but I suspect the RB positin could be TAA\Fortea by summer 2026.
I just hope this injury makes the team rally around each other and brings extra motivation. This teams needs more unity and effort to face the current adversity.
