By-product of the EL qualifers : https://kassiesa.net/uefa/data/method5/trank2020.html Spurs are now ranked UEFA 12th (the quest for CL pot 1 status continues) .
Pot 1 is reserved for the CL and EL winners plus the champions of the 6-8 highest ranked leagues. A ranking of 12 would almost certainly get us into pot 2 which is the best possible outcome
I'd say we are more likely to get top 4 than win the EL. To do that we need to get past the group stages and then win 5 ties against sides who are only slightly worse than us. Odds of 15 to 1 at best. Top four requires us to finish above five of Liverpool, Man C, Man U, Leicester, Everton, Chelsea, Wolves and Arsenal. More like 3-1 I would think
Apologies everyone for the music posted on the wrong thread if one of the mods could move it please that would be much appreciated
European squads have to be done today by 11pm, apparently. We're going to have to leave out a couple of non-homegrown players and there's been some discussion about who they might be. I think that we'd be sensible to pick Gazzaniga and leave out Lloris, if the Argentinian is staying at the club. Hart's going to start the group games, so why even bother bringing the French captain with us on these away trips? We've got a capable deputy sitting on his arse doing nothing. He may as well go to Bulgaria, Austria and Belgium.
I agree in principle, but ... what happens if both GK get injured ?? Special dispensation from UEFA to emergency add other GK to the squad ?? The answer to the latter determines whether your proposal flies.
We'd probably have to promote one of the youth keepers, depending on who stays at the club. Whiteman and Austin haven't gone anywhere yet, despite some talk of loan moves. Grabbing up some out of contract 4th choice keeper now would be a bit weird, but I guess it's an option. The worst keeper I've ever seen in a Spurs shirt and someone we were linked with eons ago are both available: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ben-alnwick/profil/spieler/27036 https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/luke-steele/profil/spieler/3539
Whiteman isn't U21 so needs to be named as a HG player. Assuming Rose and CCV get sold we've got space to do that. I think you can name another goalkeeper if you have injuries.
