No Spot for Sandro!

This from; http://triffictottenham.co.uk

I can confirm new boy Sandro has not been registered for our CL 25 man squad and therefore ineligible for all of the group league matches involving Werder Bremen, Milan and FC Twente.
The story broke yesterday and has been the subject of a fair amount of debate on blogs and forum alike. The feeling from some quarters suggested this information was premature and much like the new PL 25 requirements which allows young players a free pass?
Amid a lot of pronouncements of ;rule 26, section 18 paras 8-16; etc. I decided to contact the club and see if I could get an official response.

This is the THFC official response Uefa/s website is correct ; Sandro is not included in our Champions League squad for the Group Phase. The player has joined us on the back of a full season in Brazil and will require time to settle in and adapt to the pace of the Premier League. Should we advance to the Knockout stages of the competition, we are able to amend our squad in January.

So there you have it, bit of a shock for the young lad particularly when in his interview at the Spurs lodge he specifies how much he's excited by playing in the CL perhaps someone at the club should've told him he won't be playing in it. I must say I am a tad disappointed for the lad who arrives at the Lane with a large burden of expectation on his young shoulders but one thing he has on his side is time.

that is a sock considerin the bad form wp is in

I admit it's a bit of a surprise that he's been left out but it is true he has had a long season and I would much prefer that when he plays he is fit and really sharp. Remember when Pav came he had been playing all year then straight into our season and he has been suffering with indifferent form ever since.

Does anyone remember Pav after he came to us from a full season in Russia, this my friends is learning from your mistakes.
