Weston McKennie

[NaijaSpurs]

Struggle to see that we'd go into the season with Skipp, PEH, Dele, Winks, GLC, Ndombele and McKennie

I do not understand the rationale behind your reasoning, especially as last season we started with Skipp, PEH, Dele, Winks, GLC, Ndombele and Sissoko. In effect it is simply a case of replacing Sissoko with McKennie.

Just that its 7 players for 3 spots. Its one too many in my view, and Nuno is reportedly someone who prefers smaller rather than larger squads

After the international break we will be effectively playing twice a week until mid December, and what are the odds of us not picking up injuries?

Skipp was on loan at Norwich for all of last season so it was 6 midfielders

Skipp was on loan and Dele had been frozen out?

7 in to 3 is probably one too many but hardly a major worry.

Yep, so we need 2 players per position

And that meant we ran Holberg into the ground, dumb move

Dele didnt play much and GLC was repeatedly injured

 

[NaijaSpurs]

Yep, so we need 2 players per position

I guess that explains why we have 3 left backs

Who are the 4 defensive midfielders?

Skipp, Hojbjerg, Mckennie and (gulp) Winks

I would suggest that McKennie is more box to box then defensive

Juventus want money Spurs only offer a loan

Premier league rules say you can only have 2 players on loan at once. Burnley are trying to get him on loan not spurs.

Is that rule not for PL to PL loans?

I hope that none of our first team play league cup or away European football.

Yes just use the league cup and conference to blood the youngsters and give fringe players game time.

Kane and Son in the home games in Europe should be enough.

Hoilberg last season towards the end lost a bit of form, from being over worked in my view.

Winks, Lo Celso, Ndombele, Devine or another kid in Central midfield will do.
