It must be frustrating to see your expensive new toy get broken as soon as you take it into your hands.
Reckon it’s the same with footballers.
Manchester City would know best now that their summer acquisition Benjamin Mendy picked up a worrying injury that could – by the latest reports – keep him on the sidelines for full nine months.

At head coach Joes Mourinho s request, Tottenham Hotspur are sending scouts to watch and bring back reports on Edin Dzeko of AS Roma, according to .
Spurs have allowed Fernando Llorente to leave and join Napoli as a free agent, as his contract expired this summer. They haven t yet signed a replacement and that has now left them in a situation that they have no natural backup option for Harry Kane as the main man upfront. There is always the option of applying a different setup in case of Kane s unavailability, but Mourinho is keen on having a proper replacement for the England captain.
Dzeko has vast experience in the Premier League, having spent four and a half seasons with Manchester City before moving to Rome in 2015, during which he won two league titles, one FA Cup…

data-mm-id=”_hsggpusrv”>Jaire Alexander is a two-time Pro Bowl cornerback for the Green Bay Packers. He was taken by the Packers in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft and has been there ever since.

That's Emily Roberts reporting live outside Lambeau Field on Monday morning just after 9 a.m. for Green Bay's WBAY. She did a great job letting the moment happen, rolling with it and then getting right back to her report. Incredible comp…
