Dieng

Well if Dieng had the same bug as Borges, Burgzorg and Azaz, it’s a little funny how the last two recovered to play today despite coming down with it later, but Dieng not even fit enough for the bench. I’m wondering if its disciplinary given his shenanigans last season following an international break where he allegedly took a little sojourn?

I don’t buy the Spurs rumour, I like Dieng, but Sol has done really well to be fair.

Carrick said that Burzorg and Azaz hadn't even trained, so they weren't 100% fit.

Borges was ill for 3 matches.

It's easier to risk and change an outfield player mid-match if they're struggling than a goalkeeper too.

It's only been a week, and we don't even know if they have the same illnesses, even ignoring that people recover at different rates.

I wondered that too.

Given Brynn's form so far he's a player we could afford to move on eventually, but it's still very early days
 
In fairness I had whatever has been going around and took me 4 weeks to shift it fully then you've got the time taken to get to the conditioning required for full match fitness after that sort of period.

Could be a good 6 weeks worst case scenario

Didn't Postecoglou basically say they weren't signing another keeper in January though?

What else could he say though, would undermine Fraser Forster who is currently in goal.

Not sure how long Vicario is out but Spurs sub keeper last night wass a 25 year old who's last senior appearance was in 2019 in Norwegian football (according to wiki).

Whilst i wouldnt want Dieng to leave, Dieng to spurs is a deal which you can see why it might happen as it could suit all parties.

If we were to get a decent slug of cash, maybe a spurs player as a sweetner, high earner of the wage bill, with a readymade cheaper alternative already playing, it does make sense.
