Could we miss out on Kalulu?
If i say it more blatantly i will be ‘framed’ by the experts who never see any reason to worry or concern about anyone that we are linked with. 
There’s a very thin line between being optimistic and being delusional about everyone that we are ever linked with by ignoring all the red flags just to focus on justifying the ‘logic’ behind the move.

But who am i even kidding, nevermind we’ve been already dealing with injury crisis for years in a row, i am talking to the same fan that says Zaniolo’s multiple injuries and 2 ACL’s means he was more likely to be fit a whole season with us while Kalulu not having an injury history before last season when he suffered three separate long injuries that sidelined him for the full season is no reason to worry it will reoccur this season too, and last but not least on the Nico Gonzalez topic who has a history of multiple injuries just about every season is also no reason to think it will happen here too because now we can move goalposts and say that the risks of an injury is always the same with just about any player lol
P.S. : I am not against the Nico move at all, is a good option and absolute must at this stage, this despite him likely to miss a handfull of games too he can at least have a real impact and contribute a lot when available, his stats and numbers back it up unlike for others.

To those who claim that the recent injury history of a player is not an indication that the same thing can reoccur again then i ask why are other stats relevant on what to expect from certain players when they move from one place to another because by that logic the fact he was great defensively and always available two years ago shouldn’t be an indication he’ll be as good and as available two seasons later either.
That i can agree with, that’s why i wasn’t even all out against Kalulu even, thinking his versatility could be useful if he somehow manages to stay fit but then i was taken on a wild ride about how the recent injury record is of nobody’s concern and that it’s an attempt at ‘framing’ him to say otherwise, basically choosing to play down all the red flags just for the sake of justifying it, not like as if me pointing out the obvious would have changed the outcome of anything.

Stop framing him, all players have injuries like that throughout a long and exhausting season.

Jokes aside in all honesty even if he is more than likely to miss about 10games due to injuries it would still be acceptable if he manages to contribute and be decisive in the games that he is available for, which based on his track record he can, and at this stage we hardly have any better alternatives so might as well hope for it to get done soon.

And that's not what I'm doing. I'm only adding to the sole negativity in here. That does not mean I don't see risks (which I said Kalulu was btw) but many people choose to ignore that because there's no room for any possible silver lining apparently.
Btw, it's not only Kalulu, the whole backline is looking shaky as a whole. Our starting 4 might be okayish if everyone is fit and rested but that's barely the case throughout a whole season.
