Window Closed - Pick your 25 man Squad

[TrueYid]

As the title suggests.
You can include VDV and (replacement) to cover both outcomes.
Go!

 

[DoublePivot]

(f) Flappy (hg) - Offsidesey (hg) - Lazy - Nachos (hg)
(m) Bentley (hg) - Lennon (hg) - Hudd (hg) - Wilson - Modric -VDV - Jenas (hg) - Krank - O'Hara (hg)
(d) King (hg) - Dawson (hg) - Gallas - Bassong - Disco - Kaboul - Charlie - Hutton - Walker (hg)
(g) Gomes - Cuducini - Pletisoka

Rose, Bale, Gio, Sandro are all U21

It seems pretty simple other than choosing O'Hara or Woody with long term injury. I would take O'Hara because I think he will be back sooner.

I don't think I missed anyone.

 

[jondesouza]

If we sign Van Der Vaart, everyone except Alnwick and Woodgate. If we don't, everyone except Woodgate.

 

[StockSpur]

sandra?

Corluka, Hutton, Kaboul, Dawson, Gallas, King, Bassong, Ekotto, Naughton

Crouch, Pav, Keane, Defoe

Plus Bale, Caulker, Sandro, Giovani, Rose, Walker for the U-21s. Although 1 or 2 can go out on loan.

Pretty much picks itself if you decide to leave Woodgate out.

You didn't miss anyone, but Walker doesn't have to be named, so you could promote O'Hara or Woody to your squad.

 

[mil1lion]

I've bolded the homegrown players from my 25. How proud does it make you that they're all British or ROI though?

 

[There's always next year]

Gomes, Cudicini, Pletikosa
Corluka, Hutton, Kaboul, Dawson, Gallas, King, Bassong, Ekotto, Naughton
Lennon, Bentley, Palacios, Huddlestone, Modric, Jenas, O'Hara, Kranjcar, VDV
Crouch, Pav, Keane, Defoe

Plus Bale, Caulker, Sandro, Giovani, Rose, Walker for the U-21s. Although 1 or 2 can go out on loan.

Based on this, would this then leave Alnwick and Livermore out of 25 and looking for loan moves?. I've discounted Woodgate, as I don't see him playing too much before the opening of January window

 

[mil1lion]

Livermore could be included too in the U-21s.

I expect Alnwick to be released tbh.

 

[BPR_U16]

Gomes, Cudicini, Pletikosa
Corluka, Hutton, Kaboul, Dawson, Gallas, King, Bassong, Ekotto, Naughton
Lennon, Bentley, Palacios, Huddlestone, Modric, Jenas, O'Hara, Kranjcar, VDV
Crouch, Pav, Keane, Defoe

Plus Bale, Caulker, Sandro, Giovani, Rose, Walker for the U-21s. Although 1 or 2 can go out on loan.

We may not have got the top striker we want, but when you look at the squad it's still got good strength - even more so if Hutton goes out on loan.

 

[ERO]

I'm fairly sure Naughton will be off on loan.

Then we can leave out Alnwick, and we're set.

That's 24 :think:

Take your pick from O'Hara, Woodgate and Alnwick to make up the numbers :lol:

 

[mil1lion]

Why unfortunate to have Hutton and Jenas in there? The more cover the better imo.

 

[Darbinho]

Or Walker. I'd think he was more likely to be included than Naughton?

 

[mil1lion]

Walker is in the U-21s

 

[StanSpur]

GK: Gomes, Stripy, Alnwick

DEF: Walker (u21), Corluka, Kaboul, Dawson (hg), King (hg), Bassong, Gallas, BAE, Bale (u21)

MID: Lennon (hg), Bentley (hg), Modric, Huddlestone (hg), Palacios, Kranjcar, Rose (u21), Sandro (u21), VDV, JJ (hg)

ATT:Keane (hg), Defoe (hg), Dos Santos (u21), Crouch (hg), Pav

= 22 players & 9 home grown

with choice of Cudicini, Hutton, Naughton, O'Hara, Woodgate to fill the remaining slots depending on who we can loan out in the next few weeks. I think i'm right in thinking you can submit your initial squad but add to it later - just not remove players. If that is the case i think we may submit 22 and then see if any of Cudicini, Naughton or Hutton go to the champ on loan

 

[BPR_U16]

Why unfortunate to have Hutton and Jenas in there? The more cover the better imo.

I'd rather have Hutton off the books than continuing to pay his wages. We have more than enough cover at RB imo and his being there, never playing, will do nothing for him or the squad.

i used to think my counting was my only + side apart from being a Spurs fan:rofl:

not sure O'Hara or Woody will be fit by time it comes to January, and after listening to Sky Sports News alot so far have called around 22 average numbers in their squads.

on the Hutton and Jenas debate, they are the 2 players that if they were sold in my eyes would = a result.

Hutton to me just doesn't seem to have settled in London. ok he hasn't been given a great amount of play time in a Spurs shirt, and when he has i don't remember too much about him to be positive that would make him a regular RB.

Jenas just frustrates me unlessits v the Arscum. when i rember his good days with Forest and Newcastle he always seemed a fret against the ops.

to me he gives away too many fee kicks and too often outside the area. when we are defending a corner and conceed i usually seem to notice Jenas with his hands on his hips wondering how he had let his man get away or in front of him again.

and his passing always looks negative (sideway or backwards) when we need it to be going forwards. we he does head in the right direction his passing is too waywards in my eyes.

thats my just opinion, and wouldn't of been to upset to see them both moved on.
