Because he’s injured…

Not even that but last season there was a period where it was universally accepted that he was the first name on the teamsheet behind Bruno due to his importance to the midfield. Yet even though it has been obvious he is playing with multiple injuries for almost an entire season this somehow gets completely ignored when he is being slated consistently as if the period of form last season didn't exist.

Hope people bear the above in mind when giving him dogs abuse every week.

Because we have three LBs (Burn will 100% play LB next season with new CBs coming in) and I don't think there's any guarantee Targett is sold either.

We aren’t signing a LB man

Best result for us that tbh - gives us more of a chance to get as many players back as possible and a minimum of 7 days between games until then.

Is Willock likely to be in the squad for this, even if he is managing an injury?

Joelinton is looking to become one of the club’s top earners on more than £180,000-a week but there is a growing optimism that a deal can be struck as Newcastle have indicated they are willing to give him that sort of financial status. Talks will continue with the hope of announcing the new deal before May. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/03/04/joelinton-newcastle-new-contract-amanda-staveley/

I mean, he wants the same money as Bruno, so he literally is asking for 150k a week

Not sure where you got that from - both are out until mid-May.

Who would play instead of him?

Wow that’s pretty comprehensive

I can’t believe we already have three players missing several months of NEXT season

It’ll be an honour to see them both reunited at City next season.
