Our team during AFCON

"But that's not allowed, the fifa cartel now are allowing sunderland to keep their best players just because they play us". You can hear the cries from the ****wits coming.

 

Let's be positive about AFCON.
It's a good thing that we have players at the club of the calibre to play in such a tournament.
It provides an opportunity for other players to show that they deserve an opportunity to play in the Premier league.
I hope when players return from AFCON they have concerns that they may not get their places back in the team.

 

I hope that when players return from AFCON they’re fit and ready to go!

 

Not sure if it's a confirmed squad, but it doesn't look like Adingra has been selected for Ivory Coast.

 

That’s good news despite him not playing much here, yet

 

Definitely a good thing, we'll lose Traore and Talbi so will need options on the wing.

 

Anyone know if and when the Senegal squad is announced, will they put a deadline on Diarra’s fitness?

 

They’re not naming their squad until the 9th.

 

Can’t find the date specifically but some Facebook account posted that it’s this week dunno if it’s reliable but all squads must be confirmed by the 11th.

 

Cheers marra

 

It's a really quick turnaround isn't it. Squads announced by 11th, and our players leave 3 days later after the derby.
