[Albion] How many players SHORT are the Albion right now?

[Bozza]

How many more do we need to have a fair crack of not being one-season wonders?

 

[sparkie]

Argus says 5 -> 6, but I reckon this is 'light' and we are short of 7.

1 GK ( but Sanchez may have to do ).
2 Defenders
1 Central Midfielder
1 Winger
2 Strikers

 

[Puppet Master]

A lot...

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

25-man squad - if we play 4-5-1 most of the time, and double up every position, thats 2 keepers, 4 full-backs, 4 CB's, 6 CM's, 4 wingers and 2 strikers. Plus another keeper and 2 more strikers makes 25

So, Ryan, Maenpaa +1
Bruno, Bong, Rosenior +1
Duffy, Dunk, Hunemeier, +1 (if Goldson on loan)
Stephens, Kayal, Gross, Sidwell, Norwood +1
Knockaert, Murphy, March, Skalak
Hemed, Murray, Baldock +1

plus an under-20 starlet

So I'll say we're 6 short

4.

A full back for either side
One more central mid
A striker that can score goals as I have no faith in anyone other than Murray to get more than 5.

We'll get by with the keepers so long as the Fin signs and we have a recall on Walton, think we are fine in the wingers department too with the exception of Skalak who should probably be sent on loan somewhere.

 

[AmexRuislip]

One's that will not cost a lot and keep us in line with the mythical FFP!

 

[Papa Lazarou]

1 Keeper
1 Fullback
1 Central Defender - if Goldson off on loan
1 Creative Midfielder
2 Strikers - hopefully 1 U23

 

[Nixonator]

Minimum 6 if we assume Sanchez steps in as 3rd keeper.

FFP? You're joking, right?

Terminology

Desperate to sign a LEFT BACK Vacant
Very Keen to sign a SECOND STRIKER Vacant
Very Interested to sign a DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER (Left-sided) Norwood

Interested to sign a CENTRAL DEFENDER Goldson
Looking at PACY STRIKER/WINGER Lualua
Looking at BOX 2 BOX MIDFIELDER Ince
Looking at THIRD KEEPER Walton
Looking at ATTACKING MIDFIELDER Skalák

Looking at UNDER 21 PLAYERS

So three to survive on 36 pts, cash in reserve for January when we may need two more?

I think we might have missed a trick in Danny Williams?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Right back, left back, 2 x strikers and a REALLY quick winger.

(assuming Maenpaa HAS signed)

 

[Machiavelli]

1x keeper (assuming Maenpaa has re-signed)
1x left-back
1x defensive cover (as with Tomori)
1x CM
1x ACM
1x striker

This assumes that Norwood goes out on loan. I think we should offload Skalak and Hemed too, but only on the basis that they are replaced; this might have to happen in January.

Hemed, Murray, Baldock +1

plus an under-20 starlet

So I'll say we're 6 short

The 'under 20 starlet' won't take up one of the 25 squad places as under U21's are eligible over and above the squad limit of 25 players.
