so what window rating are we thinking if it's Eze and no one else?

Would be three really decent signings in Kudus , Eze and Palhina

But as always would be leaving us short in key areas

I think Kudus, Palhinha and Eze would be solid.

As always I think it would be less than what most of us hoped

a positive is the signs that individuals and the group as a whole seem to be improving under TF’ management.

I would rather be us than many other teams at the moment that’s for sure

Well, Xhaka was not available and "important to project" as well... Ten Haag said it very clearly.

But that being said, I do not want another CB in. I mean I am actively against it.
We have starters of VDV and Romero. We have Danso to play back 3. We have soon Radu returning from injury. And then as 5th option either Davies or Vuskovic or Takai. That is enough. Even if we either loan out Vuskovic or Takai.

We need a fullback and midfielder much more than CB.

Hincapie would cover LB/LCB as an upgrade of Davies - I imagine that's why the rumours started.

Takai has platar facititis which can go on for weeks or months - so I'd guess would likely miss out on CL squad (might stay as injured as an u21 in PL squad).

Dragusin is currently injured, if not fit on 2nd September for CL registration, my guess would be his place is taken by Vuskovic or Davies (both could be kept in PL squad).

That gives us 7 defenders in CL squad as - Romero, Van de Ven, Danso, Vuskovic/Davies, Porro, Udogie, Spence. Likely one short to meet constraints of CL registration.

Original source is Sacha Tavolieri, a Belgian transfer guy

BEL represents Morocco but was raised in Belgium

I figure it's a bit more tangible than the usual click bait

Had it loads of times. Usually caused by upping your running too quickly.
Firs time I had it, it took weeks to go away. But as I've had more experience, I can usually get it sorted in days now. Arch support in shoes, sleep with a PF sock on, constant, agonising calf stretching.
It's a strange "injury" as nothing is really damaged and the pain goes away as you spend the day walking. But when you wake up after your foot goes floppy it hurts like absolute fucking hell. Like you've stood heel first on a nail.

+Not ideal signing no defender and keeping Ben Davies on. Hard to go above a 6. But them 3 signings are great so I'd go 6. Just annoying leaving ourselves incredibly short in that full back spot.

If one of the fullbacks (Porro, Udogie, Spence) get a long term injury then we are in the trenches.We'll have to play the same 2 every game and gut them until another one gets injured.

We can only have a maximum of 22 players (including 3 GK's) in CL squad, which means in all likelihood we cannot have 2 players per position.

That's why atm, we have gone with 3 full backs to cover 2 positions - that's the position we have chosen to go one short.

Its not an oversight, everyone knows the consequences, its a calculated risk

I've had it for a few years - managed by pads in shoes supporting the heel - but if I go long distance walking or running (say 5-10 miles) I still get it and boy does it hurt.

Given many PL players run 10 miles or so in a match, it may well be a bigger problem than for us non footballers.

Yeah. Good points actually. And I was forgetting DaviesGate

Probably downgrade from 5.5 to 5 as things stand (with Eze)....Still a couple of weeks to push that up a couple of points though 🤞

Try arch supports instead of heel pads if you keep getting it.
Mine only kicks off if I back off on my running and then suddenly go and do 10+ miles.

I originally spunked a fortune on some custom made ones that were ok to walk in but fully useless for running in.
I then tried some foam ones from boots and had them for years and years now.
