Shame to lose him for a month, but provided we have Kane, Son and Kulu fit we should be fine for the first few weeks back.
it's tricky isn't it- 5 first team level forwards feels like 1 too many, but 4 feels like 1 too few

IF they all stay fit, but in any tight game which is most if not all we won't be able to sub any of them off

One more injury and we're proper fcked

Unfortunately this is further exacerbated by Lucas injury issues this season. We've all been frustrated at times with Lucas as a starter, but he could be a really good alternative as a 5th choice in the forward line. He didn't play against Motherwell which would suggest to me that he is still not over his tendon problems.

Then we've got Gil, but Conte is clearly reluctant to play him in the league, with one sub appearance of 6 minutes against Bournemouth.

Perisic can clearly do a job further forward as he does for Croatia but will have played the maximum level of games at the World Cup and when he returns he might be needed at LWB, given Sessegnon is also recovering from an injury.
Good god. He's been an adequate player at times and a very special player in a handful of matches in a Spurs shirt over the years, but he's certainly not a really good alternative 5th choice forward.

Not sure what he is thinking...

Too much time and money, I guess. :ROFLMAO:

How can the end result be so bad!?

Well in a perfect world I'd love a player of higher quality as a 5th/6th choice but we are not really Chelsea who can stockpile players like Ziyech and Pulisic. Bergwjin would have been a better choice then Lucas but he desperately wanted to leave as he feels his qualities are better than a bench spot at Spurs.

Zaniolo is another player who is not likely to be excited by the prospect to play second fiddle at a club like Tottenham.

Bit OT, but how come Chelsea can stockpile players ? They got a new sugar daddy that I missed arriving ?

Back OT .Richarlison did his hamstring injury in the warmup of the last Brazil match. Madness that he played.
If the manager knew then that's an unforgivable dereliction of duty to his country.

Fucked Brazil up who went out of the competition and royally fucked us up with the 6-8 weeks.

Sorry, but the boy is a complete fuckwit.

Hold on..it says above that the club assesses it at 6-8 weeks ..(see post no 4,725 on this page)

...and Richarlison is still a fuckwit btw
Think that was a sarcastic joke based on our history of injury recoveries being longer than expected.

And it's not really on Richarlison, but the Brazil manager and the medical team. Richarlison understandably wanted to play considering it's a World Cup and he was on form. Injuries are a part of the game, they could happen at ANY time.

OK, but 3 weeks 6 weeks is not the point. To carry on playing for 84 mins with a hammy is not smart. I can't believe anyone here is defending it.
Form is not relevant when a player has a serious injury and as I said above the manager, if appraised of the injury is culpable also...and yes , still reckon the boy is dumb to do this.

It clearly was not a hamstring injury before the game as he could not have played 84 mins. He probably felt a little stiff before hand. But it was a world cup knock out game for a place in the WC semi-finals. Of course he played - he was their main CF. So he will miss the first one or two games back, big deal.

Dumb perhaps but this was his first, possibly his only, World Cup. I would have done the same in his position.
