Interesting point is that the 25 man squad gets re-nominated at the end of January.
So, for example, we could send Murphy out on a half season loan while Skalak is in the pre-January squad, and then if Skalak doesn't take his chance, give Murphy a go in the later 25 man squad.
This could also make some players, say Baldock or Hemed, vulnerable to being replaced in the squad in January if they struggle to make an impact.
