Throughout much of last season, if you heard the news that Tony Capaldi was out of the City side for three weeks, you'd be dancing in the street and shouting "the drinks are on me" down your local.
Capaldi prepares for another long throw
However, even if he still hasn't won everyone around, few doubt Capaldi has now settled, is in the side on merit and is a solid (if unspectacular) component of City's side.
News, therefore, that he is absent for three weeks putting him out of the opening to the season following a minor cartiledge operation is seen as another blow in a whole summer full of blows. Thankfully, it is only a short time though and if the prognosis rings true, it mans he only misses the opener against Southampton next weekend and the away trip to Doncaster in a fortnight.
Maybe thoughts were that Miguel Comminges would cover his absence but it seems that Dave Jones will be turning to Mark Kennedy to do the job. We'll get a better idea tomorrow when City entertain Ajax in an attractive friendly opening the final season of action at Ninian Park.
