Incoming????? (Or st least VdV appears to be off). Surely not a case of a club bringing in a replacement before selling. I expect the ‘told you so’ ITKs will be at it now.
Thanks

— I think you’re consistently the best poster on this site.
City will be up there. As will Woolwich. Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea will be (much) better than last season. That's already 5 teams that, in all likelihood, will finish (way) ahead of us.
Newcastle and Villa won't go backwards, or if they do, not by much. Brighton & even Toney-less Brentford could be surprising once again.
Without Kane and regardless of whether we bring in Taps/VdV/Tosin, we'll be fighting with the likes of Brighton, Fulham...unless Ange performs a miracle. To be honest that's Levy's wet dream right here, getting results without having invested proper money.
Signed on a free by Barcelona so om very high wages - £200k pw
Not worth taking on those wages for a player who is not top class

You sure you haven't got me mixed up with one of the UKIP lot?
Anyone who disagrees with me will be leaving little kisses so you’ll find out indirectly if you have any ‘fans’.
Thanks, regardless.
Not to mention having 3 MFs that will leave for AFCON in January doesn't seem like smart roster building
Or move Porro forward, he's pretty bloody good forward, pretty bad defending (hope Djed impresses, then it's Djed and Emerson RB). So that's possibly kulu, Porro, Devine and Soloman that could potentially play RW.
Devine can still go out on loan and get some game time.

How many league games do we have in January?
First game of the season sees a back four of Emerson, Sanchez, Dier and Davis, due to injuries.That's why you got the wink mate, I'm bantering with you.
I've lived through relegation, administration, the 90's, Gary feckin Doherty. A few years of mismanagement isn't going to break me.
Fackin Oak Son!
Maybe.
Never works out like that though.
Can’t predict anything until the season gets going.
Last year was a freak with the WC break.
Well, a 5’8” left wingback from Brazil.
That’s not a left sided defender who’s going to replace Van de Ven in any meaningful way.
Having said that the Van de Ven deal is far easier than the Tapsoba one and likely very doable if we decide to stump up the money.
AFCON lasts most of Jan and into Feb.
PL winter break seems to be one week in Jan - so a little overlap
PL games plus potentially League cup and FA Cup games
Would hate to have 2 CM's going to AFCON though as any injury and we start to struggle in CM
This is a good point.
Especially if Spence impresses now he’s fit
On top of the two other centre backs they've already signed, one of which was a left sided centre back from Switzerland..
Looks like they're stocking up well.
They've signed a left sided centre back and a left back. Two positions van de Ven is known to play.
I think Bissouma will be the biggest miss of the lot.
Exactly. Every season I hear that every single team will be strengthened and right up there there are always more than just one of the top ones struggling.
Yeah just checked.
13th Jan to 11th Feb
Potentially missing four games if both get to a final. Best case scenario is they both miss just the one game but I think it's likely they miss atleast two
AFCON is 13th Jan -11th Feb
Wed Jan 10 Carabao Cup Semi-Final (1)
Sat Jan 13 Manchester United A – 3pm
Wed Jan 24 Carabao Cup Semi-Final (2)
Sat Jan 27 Emirates FA Cup 4
Tue Jan 30 Brentford H – 7.45pm
Sat Feb 3 Everton A – 3pm
Sat Feb 10 Brighton & Hove Albion H – 3pm
Obviously less if they get knocked out
