Slav claims he has solutions without new players!

|

Slaven-Bilic (1)Slaven Bilic isn’t waiting for the transfer window to solve his current problems because he believes the answers are within the squad assembled in the summer.

Speaking at his morning presser ahead of the Spurs game he said: “I definitely think and I know we have the solutions within the squad, mainly with the squad that’s played so far.

“We have some players who were absent for a long period. Now they are coming back and they’ll be like new signings for us this season. Some didn’t play a game yet this season. We are not thinking about the transfer window yet, like that will solve our problems. We have quality within the squad.

The window is still far from here, a lot of things can change in a few weeks’ time. I’m fully concentrated on the players we have, the players that improved and the players coming back for us now.

We have players back, like Diafra Sakho, and a few players are getting there and hopefully will progress. Hopefully they’ll be back next week and players like Andy Carroll and Gokhan Tore will be back quite soon.”

Looking at the opposition he said: “They didn’t win a game. But on the other hand, they are the only unbeaten team and probably they are not overwhelmed by October because they are aiming to win the league this year.

“They are doing a good job and they had a couple of injuries also. They are solid and electric. But it’s a good opportunity because we have improved, and if we play good, we have a chance no matter who we are playing.”
