I don't think Rodon is HG when it comes to the EL.

Curiously if Dele gets a loan then that frees up a non-HG slot for Eriksen for the EPL only.
But IMO JM has a big decision to make about Sanchez.
It is an example of what happens when you are more reactive than proactive.
They saw some injuries and quickly went to get a body in, rather than had guys available to step up.
Am I right in saying that it reduces our options in the EL though ?
We'd have to register a smaller squad by 1 ?
Absolutely agree
Last summer started with lots of stories of Aurier wanting to move on (for the 2nd summer in a row), problem was that AC Milan his chosen destination couldn't afford much of a fee (I heard circa £12m, and even that was a bit flakey with add ons included) which is one reason why Spurs has to sign Doherty (HG for PL so fitted into the squad whether Aurier stayed or went).
And it was clear last summer most clubs had little money so nobody left - not just fees, but other clubs couldn't afford the wages have been paying a number of these players, which is why they are still here.
This TW its worse with very few deals at any club.
And it will be tough in the summer unless covid goes completely before the end of the season, which seems unlikely.
So getting more than say 4 players to leave permanently in the summer could be a problem - even assuming subsidising part of their wages. Can see a few loans which doesn't help with getting players in permanently but at least creates a few spaces in the squad
EL squad has 2 HG slots available. 3 if Dele leaves.
Hahahah, you are talking about Gray ?!?
Well, Moura and Lamela are crap, but my god, GRAY ?!? He was linked with us when he left Birmingham, luckly we dodged a bullet. He is absolute crap of a player, has medicore pace... and nothing else.
Not EPL level player, I'd have Lamela and Moura over him every day of the week.
For a 6 month loan to help us with HG issues if we are moving on from Dele he is certainly worth it.
And he is an easy upgrade over Moura and Lamela, which isn't saying that he is good just not as bad as those two.
Yea, I would use any academy kid over him.
He has never seemed like a decent footballer. Maybe decent sprinter/runner, but never footballer. No technical ability, no awareness. Mostly he was just invisble on the field or at best running around in straigh line. There is a reason why he was deemed to be worth 2 million.
I am still amazed how people assume that someone who can run fast is automatically a good footballer.
Wrong sport, mate
.Google Translate says :
Official negotiations with football player and club SL Benfica have begun regarding the temporary transfer of professional football player Gedson Carvalho Fernandes to our club.

Oh I don't think he is good and only would want him because he is cheap and HG and out of contract in the summer.
He is better than Moura and Lamela but wouldn't really need to be used. Let's say he replaces Lamela on the EL list does that change anything for us? I would say no as it is unlikely at this point that either plays in any EL games unless the game is already decided and it doesn't matter.
The best thing he does is allow us to make moves with HG players this window.
There are at least 5 worse ones...Mabizela, Toda, Rasiak, Gilberto and Petikosa off the top of my head for starters...
Redknapp!?
The tea lady says we are very very close to re-signing someone.
Going to thrown Rodrigo Defendi into the mix, did he ever exist?
We need a bloody midfielder that can pass and hold on to a ball. Tanguy is surrounded by utter giraffes I’m afraid.
And everyone knows it.
Coach: all of you, make sure you don't let Tanguy breathe
Player: what about other spurs player?
Coach: ignore them
