I don't think you can count the WB as pure defenders, though. And 4/5 for 2 WB positions, given what's asked of them, is not bad. We do need an extra player for the front 3 and we're fine in midfield. I'd have Skipp over Benta, however.Our current squad, with adjustment for obvious outgoings. HG quota narrowly met.
There's a bit of an imbalance as we have 12 defenders for 5 positions, but only 9 FWD/MIDs for 5 positions.
We can add another player without having to get rid of anyone else, as long as they are HG.
A non-HG in would mean we need a non-HG out.
Rodon out (loan?) for another CB seems like a no-brainer. An attacking midfielder would also add squad balance. One of those 2 would have to be HG.
Tanganga may as well be loaned as he won't get much game-time, even though we'd be left with a smaller squad.
Agent: DJ just waiting for Levy to add a bus pass to his contract...
As is the theme at his former clubs.
Indeed....
He didn't fair any better despite an even higher amount of minutes in the 2nd tier cups:
.......All of which was in his preferred position; not a WB role that he's not proven to be qualified for.

I cannot see how both Gil and Sarr get in the squad due to HG numbers and squad numbers (23 man squad = 2 players per position plus a 3rd GK).
Likely both go out on loan unless we cannot get better players in.
Yes because whether I include Rodon or his CB replacement, it doesn't change the number of CBs.
Gil and Sarr are different as they are likely to be loaned out like last season, and it's not linked to us getting a replacement.
That current squad as I listed means we have a maximum of 24 players in our squad overall.
We can't add a non-HG to that (whether Gil, Sarr or a new player) unless you take a non-HG out.
DJ is four years younger, and by the time he's the same age as Traore he will have scored twice as many.
Next!
Yeah, I agree with having 5 WBs for the 2 positions, especially as Spence is an unknown quantity.
I think we should keep that squad as I showed in the image, but with Rodon out and a new CB and AM in. One of those 2 will have to be HG. Maddison is an unpopular choice but ticks the boxes.
Cheap as chips, and has Levy written all over the deal.
Great signing.
Djed Spence - Squad number history
This is the shirt number history of Djed Spence from Tottenham Hotspur. This statistic shows which shirt numbers the palyer has already worn in his career.
My guess is he gets 11 or 12.
But Gibson has been the difficult one, the asshole in this particular deal
I suspect if we're up for selling Rodon it doesn't depend on a replacement.
I don't think you or I really have that insight...... At least not until the end of the window.
(See above)
You're talking Domestic here? ......Cos obv. Davies, Doh & Rodon are a curve-ball in terms of Europe.
The very fastest network of any country in the world, but I see your point lol
No VAR replay required then ... phewIn at the far post
Don't anyone try to convince me DJ isn't a big upgrade on Doherty or Royale.
Ever.
I think we'll get another CB in this window, but let's see.
Gil/ Sarr won't make the CL squad, and very likely to be both loaned out. Maximum they'll stay till Jan to get some Conte training and League Cup matches, before being loaned out then.
UCL. Domestic we easily make squad requirements. But if we want to fight for trophies on multiple fronts, we need big and balanced squads in both UCL and PL.
Roughly 3 weeks until season starts and circa 6 weeks before window closes.
After Spence we might get another (say) two in - but entirely depends upon better players being available in positions we want to fill and other clubs.
Lots of players might move - but who knows whether they are players we want.
No point in buying players unless they improve a squad which is actually of a decent level already.
I'd rate chances of one player coming in as 'quite likely' , and 2 players in 'need a few stars to align'
If Spence is half as good an RWB as Doc I will be delighted.
