Does anyone know what is going on with this? The UEFA site http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2012/clubs/club=1652/squad/index.html claims to have been updated on 1 Sept and still shows Hutton, Jenas, Palacios, Crounch and Keane in our squad, whereas the Stoke one includes Crouch and Palacios
Latest update 6/9 http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2012/clubs/club=1652/index.html No Friedel or VDV in squad
I've added this info to EL squad thread, but as this is pretty big news, I thought I'd start a thread on it too. http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2012/clubs/club=1652/index.html We only have 2 senior keepers in the squad, and clearly think it's best to rest VDV for the group stages at least. Apparently him and Friedel could be reintroduced for the round of 32, if certain deadlines are met, etc. Update - little bit of info re Jordan Archer http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/players/reserves/jordan-archer.html
Surely Rose and Livermore don't need to be named as both English and under 21? Therefore strange that VDV is not included even if we don't intend to play him. Maybe the injury is worse than announced?
I'm still finding this very confusing: the squad on the UEFA squad page has Friedel and VdV in it. Adebayor, Parker and Falque have been added but it still has all the sold and loaned players. Whereas the one on the main Spurs page looks more accurate but I also agree with HD that Rose and Livermore should qualify as B players. Unless they don't pass the two continuous years of eligibility regulation as they have been loaned out?
I suspect another **** up. Why would we take van der Vaart out? He's already played and scored in the competition. The B list players are also missing.
As I said on the other thread, it's probably just another balls up. They've failed to include the B players, for a start.
You may well be right PNP, it's just what UEFA are saying, but let's see when the OS gives us the info.
Looks like it's been suitably updated: http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2012/clubs/club=1652/squad/index.html Friedel and van der Vaart both feature and there's a load of B players, too. Keane, Crouch, Hutton, Palacios and Jenas are still there, though.
So the thread I started that VDV and Friedel are not in the UEFA squad seems to be correct. Certainly VDV isn't in it, and isn't happy about not being consulted.
