25 man squad

[Frutos]

Think it's at the end of each transfer window

Yep, it is.

Whatever 25 we name on 1st of September cannot be altered until January, and then whatever we name at the end of January will do us for the rest of the season.

The only exception outside the transfer windows is if a player in the 25 suffers a long-term injury (I think that is defined as one which will keep them out for at least 2 months) in which case we can ask permission to replace them in the squad.

 

[Pintos]

Dwamena and Ahannach miss out on U21 status by 3 months. Sloppy recruitment.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Ahannach is #39 so it's doubtful that he makes the 25 man squad.

Goldson but not Murphy should be red ?

edited.

Only five natural left footers? this is the only inbalance in the side.

should be Pröpper (another typo)

Dropper looks interesting?

 

[Nixonator]

If this new keeper is signed, that would complete our squad, excluding Ince and Towell.

Anybody else coming in (unless u21) would need to replace somebody.

Those arguably at risk of not making it include:

Skalak
Hemed (bids)
Murphy (bids)
Kayal (long layoff)
Baldock (long layoff)

 

[GT49er]

However, there has been speculation that Goldson might go out on loan. If that happened, we would be at the (lower) limit of HGPs in the 25-man squad. I don't believe there is any indication that Baldock WON'T make the squad, but if he didn't (combined with a Goldson loan) we would either have to bring in another HGP (possibly the third 'keeper) or name less than 25 players.

If that happens, and we don't manage to land a third choice keeper, could we add Sanchez to the squad as an HGP, even though he is under-age?

If Kayal and Baldock are likely to be back in October , which they are, then idea that they are going to be overlooked is er, unlikely.

Skalak the main casualty, and rightly so.

I simply put in all names that have been knocking around and mentioned as potential casualties.

Here's the squad assuming this GK signs:

 

[AZ Gull]

If that happens, and we don't manage to land a third choice keeper, could we add Sanchez to the squad as an HGP, even though he is under-age?

An interesting question, and one that I have wondered myself. I don't know the answer, but my gut feel is that it would be "cheating" in order to get another non-HGP into the squad.

 

[Stat Brother]

It would be a really ballsy call from the club to just name 22 players.

Leaving space for 3 free agents after the deadline...

Now shirley they MUST be cheaper?

 

[ac gull]

Hemed staying will be good news as far as I am concerned

Though am likely to be in a minority of one saying this

Hemed came into team last spring and we won five in a row and got promoted

Personally thought as soon as he went off against Citeh we somehow lost our shape, balance and concentration - up until that point Hemed was following the game plan

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Dwamena transfer off.

Ince gone.

[Weststander]

Hemed was following the game plan

Of being the slow guy, owned by the Cited defenders with ease and completely isolated from his ten-man-defence teammates.

Not his fault. Creative, pacey men, against Championship boys.

CH clearly didn't agree with you. He brought him off and didn't start him in the next game.
