We have 5 players that can play in the double pivot - Dier, Wanyama, Dembele, Alli, Winks (don't have to count him if you don't want to, but he's good enough)
We have 5 players that can play CB - Toby, Jan, Wimmer, Dier, CCV
We have 2 RB - Walker, Trippier
We have 2 LB - Rose, Davies
We have 3 GK since we loaned one in because reasons - Lloris, Vorm, Lopez
Who are these great 5th choice options at Plop and co?
It's all about the VORP, fella.
If Kane is injured then you only have Janssen up top, who would have been a good signing in 2004 but probably wouldn't start for Swansea.
Google tells me that CCV is a credit card authentication system, Dier is a CDM and I've literally never heard of WILLer so who the **** comes in if and when Vert or Toby get injured?? Michael Dawson? Younes Kaboul?? Jonathan Woodgate???
If one of either Dembele or Wanyama gets injured then Sissoko comes in. Wonder what the Spuds faithful think of him??
