Another one of our World Cup contingent that’s going to miss over a month of football
no doubt this changes nothing regarding transfers and poch will say 'chance for other players to step up'

The harsh reality is that even a new signing - who is PL- ready - will take a month to adjust and fit in with Poch's tactics.
So, there is not much we can do but try our best to weather the storm. The squad need strengthening - but that was true before Dele's (and Kane's and Sissoko's) injury, and it will be true after those players return.
I don't think this really changes anything in terms of this window. If we can find a good long-term fit, we will, otherwise we will scrape by with whatever players Poch can find lying around the training grounds.
This isnt great ,but when you see what’s happening in Cardiff very insignificant ?
And then when they get injured too we'll blame rotten luck rather than piss-poor squad management over a few years now.the worst thing about all these injuries is that it gives less chance to give rest to players who need it badly with games coming thick and fast, e.g eriksen & winks
