Manga - African Nations Cuo

If Gabon qualify - does it take place this year? Would we lose him therefore?

Good point, think we'd lose him in January and February.

If they qualify then the competition is 17th jan - 8th feb

Don't forget he'd need a few weeks rest after the tournament as well

Let's hope they don't qualify

Could also lose dikgacoi

Could that be why we have such a big squad? plenty of cover for most positions for situations such as this!

I've got to be honest. If managers know they will miss this length of time - why sign them? Ferguson rarely did.

So because they'll miss at maximum 2 months. We shouldn't sign them, laughable.

Gabon are in a group with Angola, Burkina Faso and a qualifier

South Africa are in with Nigeria, Sudan and a qualifier

Top 2 teams from each group qualify for the tournanent, plus the best 3rd place team... Looks like we will probably be losing both Munga and Dikgacoi

Laughable about missing 2 months!!!! Are you off you box? This could be about 8-10 games for which we as a club are paying their wages when they should be playing for us. Especially if we are going from promotion. How do we as a club benefit?

I think they may be gone 3-4 weeks, not likely Gabon will reach the finals. Yes, this is some matches, but our squad is ready for this. African cup of nations is held in odd-numbered years so as not to clash with the FIFA World Cup. So next season in Premier league they wont go
