Hernandez Buendia Martin

Not horrendous I suppose. 

Buendia is suspended

[Clint 221]

That’s a great point about Emi, if he stays Dr. Will miss one less, much more important, league match.

Going into the season with just Krul, McGovern and Barden worries me, and from reading previous threads, I know I'm not the only one.

Just give the kids a go and treat it as a free hit/extra preseason friendly. Just make sure we don't suffer key injuries

'Josip Drmic could also miss the fixture - with the striker potentially set for a Switzerland call-up'

If we’re not going to take the competition seriously then why bother entering. If we lose this game, I for one will see it as a direct reflection of our abilities and as an accurate representation of what is to come. I’ll make a suitable knee jerk reaction and demand someone is sacked/dropped/stripped of ownership/sent on loan to rovrum accordingly. 

And what a cracking opportunity to single out some up and coming young scapegoats to criticise for lack of effort/shooting boots/bottle/a decent barber.

If Drmic gets called up and plays rather than say Seferović,Mehmedi or Embolo then I will be convinced he's shagging their teams mananger.

 

Then again he's not really much of a loss if he goes away on duty anyways

Not for the league Cup he's not.

He's only banned from the next 3 PL games isn't he ?

Put Drmic in Goal he will be fine as long as he only uses his head and Feet the ball will go nowhere near the goal then

does that mean this won't count as one of Emis bans either?

Yup. He won’t be here by then anyway so pretty much irrelevant 😔

well its only 2 weeks away and he's been training today already... still not entirely convinced that any of the "big 5" will have left before the season begins. We might wait for that weird bit of the October window when the prem sides only way of buying will be from the football league. The bookies don't seem to have any ideas where he'd be going
