Should there be a winter break while that competition is taking place, we will lose 7 players that is a joke so Leeds we play they have no African players Man C come here with 2 players missing, or can we get the games postponed might be 3-4 weeks without those involved plus the F A cup which we need a run in what is the answer ? Wolves lose 5 players by the way !
 
A winter break will never work in this country, firstly the boxing day match is a deeply entrenched football traditional and secondly it rarely gets cold enough to actually abandon games (as it does in Scandinavia for example). We can't change our schedule because another continent has a tournament.

There’ll never be a winter break here…. nor would we want one.
What should happen is that FIFA should ensure these tournaments, if indeed they must have them at all,are held at the end of the European season, not in the middle of it.

It was known we would lose these players when siging them, never has been a winter break for it and can't expect one or postponed matches as a result of it!

Sadly marra i think the constant twisting from the top foreign managers like Klopp and Pep about our festive fixture list, the Premier League have buckled hence the Boxing Day fixture seems to be disappearing

Even with all the departures Luke won’t likely start, do hope he gets a chance at some point but think it will be when the game is won/we are safe and playing in a dead rubber, cannot wait to see mundle running at full backs again mind

They were going to move it to the summer. I thought it would maybe a bit hot, but they did have plans to do it.

Not sure what stopped that. Maybe FIFA leaned on them to give their stupid club world cup room.

But we can postpone games if 3 or more players are called away, can we cope i doubt it, great to have Mundle and Cirkin back though plus Mayenda will get some games should get Roberts back as well

We can apply for postponement. They wouldn't allow it

It’s not a knock on Luke mind he’s just behind 3 international centre half’s and Mukiele who’s got 30+ champions league appearances, we all love Luke but I think he’s honest enough to know he’s not better than any of those 4 ahead of him, he’ll get some minutes but right now isn’t the time for sentiment we need results, if we’re safe on the final day I reckon he’ll start
