anyone think he will be in the squad for tomorrow's game

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

He needs a period of adaptation but I don't see why he can't be named as a sub. by the end of this season.

So did Khusanov, and Reis, one is already a regular the other has got game time.
I'm gonna sit on the fence by saying it wouldn't surprise me if it went either way ;)

Do you know if the winner automatically qualifies for the next one ? If so, I want to go full strength to win it.

No idea, mate. I wouldn’t rate our chances of winning it very highly in our current state so going balls out for it would, IMO, be foolhardy. We’d start next season with unrested (yet again) players and probably a bunch of sick notes.

It does depend a little bit though on who we unload, who we sign, and the respective timings.

Nope

 

[skillman]

Would love him to get some minutes in before the end of the season but just can't picture it happening.

Oddly enough.

Weird one alright. Seems we've brought him in to be ready for the CWC in 4 months in which he'll probably play a tiny bit part. He'd have been better off staying on loan.

It’s just going to take the place of our pre season and, if we can get the right players in, might put us a couple of weeks in front.
Then again, it might be disastrous……

Not really, the timing is much different. It runs to July 13 if you get to the final and the Prem starts 4 weeks later. We 're likely to be missing a whole load of players for the first couple of weeks in prem matches. Plus theres no proper switch off for the players, its pretty much the same as the Euros or World Cup but only us and Chelsea are affected. If we werent in it the players would get a proper summer break from mid May to early July.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

no dont think so.

Let's face it Gaz it's another 4 years down the line.
By 2029 it'll probably be 64 teams involved played across all 7 continents with the final played on the feckin moon.
Seriously though - you're right, there's no suggestion anywhere that the 2025 winners get to defend their title.

Pointless competition.

No. We have some big injuries but not a lot of them, numbers wise were strong, mcatee couldn't make the bench last game, as far as we know they'll be no changes to the numbers available so peps going to have to leave somebody else out again. Not a chance he's making the bench until theres more injuries and he's filling the numbers up.

 

[Bill Walker]

Pointless competition.

Prize money is a billion $ apparently.
No wonder the club is keen.

 

[Sibierskii]

He’s been playing in front of 80 thousand people in Argentina, throw the fucker in. Can’t be any worse than Foden.

 

[Deepest Blue]

He's good enough and experienced enough to get some minutes from the bench.
Let's hope it happens.

 

[Damanino]

get him involved. even if just for 30 mins. whats to lose? 30 minutes from Gundo or KDB or Bernardo being slow and inaccurate and losing possession?

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Hoping he gets some minutes before the season is over. If not the the cwc looks more likely when he will feature

 

[doobyedoobye]

I doubt he will get many minutes this season..

 

[Manchester1894]

I think he has to be given ONE game where he can come off the bench in the next month. Bournemouth in the cup could be it.

 

[bhayes]

he isnt even on the bench
