Matthew Le God Posted 6 July, 2012 Share Posted 6 July, 2012 But somebody will need to go. 25-man squad limit this season. Dan Harding and Ryan Dickson to leave. Buttner and Fox to compete for left back, with 16 year old Shaw to bring through in future years. I doubt Hammond's position in the squad is effected too much by Buttner signing.

Saint Scott Posted 6 July, 2012 Share Posted 6 July, 2012 I can't believe this thread is only 6 pages long. It's usually over 40 before the player actually signs. Looks a really good catch from NA and NC. We really are premier league when we beat the likes of QPR, Fulham and Werder Bremen to signings.

Brussels Saint Posted 6 July, 2012 Share Posted 6 July, 2012 Its likely a great signing, giving us 2 quality left backs and Shaw pushing on. Must be the end for Harding & Dickson you imagine and in reality neither are up to PL standard. As good as it is, we do still need a GK, CB, CM, RM & RB however imo! Will we sign 7 players in the window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
