Never mind man.
Thanks for your contribution.
Are you just looking at the knockout stage because there's the group stage too, would take much longer than 9 days from first game to the semisBissouma and Sarr are not missing 8 games. There'll be a winter break this season from Jan. 13-20. AFCON has its opening ceremony on Jan. 13. This season the AFCON final will be delayed to Feb. 11. Generally it takes 9 days from the first match to the semi-final, so at most they'll miss two days, and then probably like four days in February if they make it to the final.
It doesn't go from January 13 to February 11, they'll play for 9 days and then return to the final.
Seen no evidence so far. We need to buy a pure out and out striker....got a strong midfield now but who do they connect with?Do own goals or goals from defenders not count?
I can assure you the front 3 is not going to score 0 goals all season.

It would be nice if he explained what he is talking about.Are you just looking at the knockout stage because there's the group stage too, would take much longer than 9 days from first game to the semis
Gotcha. Well let's hope one drops out early.They can potentially miss up to 8 games depending on domestic cups.
No idea if they can meet in the final but if they do, they'll miss four league games, two FA Cup games and two league cup semi finals.
You and me can think it shouldn’t but Ange has said that they want outs before anyone comes inDoes it matter?
If they decide that they're not in our plans, then what harm does it do waiting to see if they can get a fee for them? If, at the end of the window, they can't sell them, then buy them out. Either way, those two shouldn't have any impact on buying other players if that is the plan.
AFCON is 13th Jan -11th FebThey can potentially miss up to 8 games depending on domestic cups.
No idea if they can meet in the final but if they do, they'll miss four league games, two FA Cup games and two league cup semi final legs wouldn't they?
Good situation at the end there but he’s the one they need to target to shut them downdid eze touch the ball that half? might as well of not been there. if he was a big player these are the games where he would make a difference. he cant do any worse second half surely
Plenty of cover at RW. Richy, Solomon and Porro. For me, the issue is the #9Here's a 25-man roster, as of today.
16 @ non-HG players (17 max.): Richarlison, Perisic, Son, Kulusevski, Solomon, Bissouma, Bentancur, Ndombele, Lo Celso, Porro, Royal, Romero, Van de Ven, Sanchez, Dier, Vicario
4 @ U-21 players: Sarr, Udogie, Phillips, Veliz
5 @ HG players: Forster, Austin, Skipp, Davies, Maddison
RW a glaring issue, IMO. Son playing there might help? Or Porro w/ Royal @ RB?
Get to January with a committee of #9s in Richarlison, Son and Veliz and then reassess, unless Lukaku/etc. falls in our laps.
5 CBs for coverage, IMO. Davies 2nd-choice LB + LCB cover in a pinch.
Sanchez #3 CB, Dier/Phillips 4th/5th.
Sanchez + Dier BOTH being non-HG is a problem for our roster. I'd let Dier walk and find an immediate upgrade on Sanchez.
Love our midfield, but I loved our midfield this time last season... until we loaned-out Ndombele, Lo Celso, and (less so) Winks. Højbjerg probably needs to go if he expects to play anywhere near the amount he's received in previous seasons at Tottenham.
Our GK corps: still TBD.
![]()
INJURED: Bryan Gil, Sessegnon
LOAN: Rodon (Leeds), Devine, Spence, Scarlett, White
SELL: Lloris, Tanganga, Højbjerg, Reguilón, Dier
Rubbish.
Dier is no more of a roadblock to signing a CB than Tanganga is. Your rhetoric on this matter is a mess.
Reckon Lo Celso leaves. 2 full matches on the bench without a minute to his namePerhaps but we're also then hoping Bentancur can get back to his best post injury.
And then when Bissouma and Sarr potentially miss 8 games during the new year, it'd leave us with just Skipp, Maddison, Lo Celso and Bentancur.
Good to have a bit more flexibility though for Jan
It’s not that he can’t be it. Simply that he might be even better further forward.People who said Bissouma couldn't be the six should be publicly shamed at this point. You know who you are.
