Spurs XI V Hearts?

[THWH90]

What would your team be???


Mine would be:


Friedel
Walker - Kaboul - Dawson - Rose
Lennon - Modric - Livermore (?) - Kranjcar
Pav - Defoe


Subs
Cudicini, Corluka, Bassong, VDV, Bentley, Townsend, Crouch


Taking into consideration all the injuries and give some senior players a rest? lol..

[RiffHard]

Looks quite all right but I think Crouch will start.

Add Bale for Niko, VDV for Defoe and Ekotto for Rose then I agree. Why are we resting players before we've even played a game?

Indeed we should send a strong team out, as we dont play in the Prem till Monday (22nd).

Exactly. They have three days to rest up which is the exactly the same as they had last year. Also, they don't have to travel far so can't use that as an excuse.

Play the main players, win the game then rest them for the home game.

If Modric plays would he be banned from playing in The Champions League should he move to Chelsea. If so it will be interesting to see if he's selected. It will tell us a lot about his future whatever happens.

I think tehre is some rule about playing in preliminary stages of continental cups and group stages. There was this same talk about Luis Fabiano last year...

Didn't we have this trouble when we 1st signed Hutton?

This might help to your answer, go down to Article 18 - player eligibility.

Thanks. From what I understood from that he can play in Champions League provided we do not qualify for group stage of Europa League. I doubt Harry will play him anyway as he has already said he will use it to try some kids. Actually has our Europa League squad been announced yet ? It would be interesting to see if he is sticking to that statement.

I think the final squad has to be named by the "real" tournament. Actually we haven't even noticed our EPL squad for the season. And they announced squad numbers yesterday... And actually have not signed anyone... Seems that everyone at the club took a nice long holiday. 

[taimedowne]

I'm not certain but I think the 25 man squads are only announced after the transfer window shuts. It would make sense as until then we dont even know who's staying and who's going.

I fully expect 'Arry to play our strongest side especially now that our weekend game was cancelled !!!!

hopeful to see kane get some time.

[Yiddite]

Fully agree with UGS - we must play our strongest team and get the players match fit. Friendlies are all well and good but not like the real thing.
