Chewy Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Can anyone remind me of the name of the young lad from Ireland we’re due to sign when he turns (I think) 17; and when that is? Had a mental note to say it was due in July but don’t think I’ve seen anything. Apologies if it’s happened and I’ve missed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to have something about him. I'm hoping we can sort JB's contract out too soon, he's one we need to be keeping next season whatever happens - in the Champ he's one of the better CBs and if we do stay in the Prem and upgrade, he's still a good squad option.

Over land and sea Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 (edited) We still need to do a little bit of work on the outgoings to get our over 21 squad down to the 25 man maximum. There are 30 players that qualify at the moment, with the next likely arrival (Fernandes) qualifying as an U21. Two of the 30 are out on loan and Ben Reeves wasn't added as a potential PL starter. Mara seems set to leave so, if that happens, that leaves just one more to go (or more if we add further new over 21 players). Bella-Kotchap, Alcaraz and Onuachu are the next most likely to be sold. I suppose Bazunu doesn't need to be named for the first half of the season given his long term injury status. McCarthy Walker-Peters Manning Downes Stephens Harwood-Bellis Aribo Smallbone Armstrong Lallana Stewart Lumley Bree Wood Sugawara Brereton Diaz Mara Archer Sulemana Taylor Alcaraz Lis Bazunu Onuachu Bednarek Ugochukwu (U21 but loaned in so has to be named in 25 man squad) Bella-Kotchap Reeves (brought in to support youth players) Wright (loaned out) Juan (loaned out) Edited August 18 by Over land and sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 (edited) Thanks @Over land and sea - I think we’ll be fine to hit the 25 but with the relatively high number of U21 players hoping/expecting to play we still have a pretty bloated squad right now. Maybe looking good for the future but it’ll be challenging to manage all of them this season. In terms of specifics I see: Lis being loaned out if/when we get a keeper in I think Mara and ABK are gone. I see us loaning out Bree if we don’t find a buyer for KWP (or obviously we sell KWP) And as you say, Bazunu won’t need selecting for this section of the season That leaves a limited bit of scope, especially if we can shift either of Alcaraz or Onuachu who look likely candidates. And there’s also one other fitness consideration with Stewart … worth a spot in the 25 🤷🏻♂️ Overall the squad does have some exciting youth to it, but given how big it is, it’s still worryingly short on quality in certain key areas (GK, AM, Wide, no. 9). Fixing the squad after years of terrible recruitment was always going to take time I guess Edited August 18 by Chewy Typos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 @Over land and sea just a couple of things I’ve noticed ahead of your post-deadline day clean-up Nathan Wood appears to be Nathan Wood-Gordon (at least on the BBC … and we don’t have enough players with double barreled surnames 😉) Mateusz Lis needs adding to the list of exiting players Stu Armstrong still says on trial at Brentford on that list The following players were allocated squad numbers for the EFL cup game Akachukwu 54, Moore 57, O’Brien-Whitmarsh 60, Robinson 46. And at the risk of achieving MLG levels of pedantry, Shea Charles doesn’t need to say U21 in the U21 loan list. Thanking you in advance of all of the other updates, and extremely grateful as ever for the work you do here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm amazed he's still here today. He'd be daft to commit at this point to a team that is pretty likely, at this point, to be back in the Championship rather sharpish. He will leave us in the summer and remain in the PL and he will leave with my best wishes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure we’ll be allowed to play a 4-3-4 but Lallana will barely be fit anyway. For the most part it looks a decent team but I’d imagine that having sold THB, Downes, Fernandes, Suga and Ramsdale we’ll have a bit to spend.

Yes we will likely have a fair bit and would strengthen but it's a pretty solid team all things considered. Certainly won't be the same level of fire sale like last year.

Over land and sea Posted Friday at 10:25 Author Share Posted Friday at 10:25 (edited) Looks like this is our 25 man squad.

Hopper Posted Friday at 11:07 Share Posted Friday at 11:07 Happy to see the Janny redemption arc play out. Thought he was outstanding last year and is probably our most consistent and complete CB. Good business to tie him down as he’s just hitting his prime at 28. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted Friday at 11:36 Share Posted Friday at 11:36 31 minutes ago, Hopper said: Deserved that after last season. Is he upgradable? Yes, you could argue THB has a higher ceiling and ABK if he stays is a better defender but after his performances last year he's deserved the extension. More importantly even if we go down we have a strong complement of centre backs that aren't going anywhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
