You are Alan Shearer, and I claim my five pounds.
Have I missed something!?

Yes, you have. Which of the 18 haven't you heard of? I'm genuinely intrigued. Do you not watch much football outside of the Albion? That's not a mocking question, or meant in a mocking tone just so you know, I know it will come across that way.

To be honest I don't watch much football at all, didn't even watch much of last nights final. I genuinely only interested in Brighton watch every home game some away and when they are on the box. Don't ever watch the prem, overpaid wasters in my opinion and I'm not interested. When it comes to football it's only the Albion I am interested in
That's fair enough, I'm not being critical. In contrast, I watch far too much football and unfortunately have seem most of the players selected play at some point or another. Craig Dawson is one who most people won't know, but he played against us for Rochdale at Withdean a couple of years ago. Quality player who was then snapped up by West Brom, he kept Dunk out of the England under 21 team when he was selected.
So are you happy with the squad?
Heard of:
Micah Richards (Manchester City), Ryan Giggs (Manchester United), Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal), Craig Bellamy (Liverpool), Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea).
Don't have a bloomin' clue who they are:
Jack Butland (Birmingham), Jason Steele (Middlesbrough); Ryan Bertrand (Chelsea), Steven Caulker (Tottenham), Craig Dawson (West Brom), Neil Taylor (Swansea), James Tomkins (West Ham); Joe Allen (Swansea), Tom Cleverley (Manchester United), Jack Cork (Southampton), Danny Rose (Tottenham), Scott Sinclair (Swansea); Marvin Sordell (Bolton).
