Assuming Huddlestone and Robertson are gone, our first team squad listed on the website is down to 23. Four of those aren't currently available due to injury, taking us to 19 (three of which are keepers). Of those 19, seven are youth players who have either a handful of appearances (Keane, Bowen, Luer), to a load of lads with no first team experience at all (with us or anyone else).

Is Keane fit and ready for the season? Not heard anything about him for a while.

Aina and Dawson.

I didn't mention 'a load', the fact is as of today you can cover every position - without even resorting to square pegs in round holes - without having to promote someone from the youth team.

Aina has never played a first team game at centre half and you have him as our 1st choice (or maybe only choice) centre half?- I presume that means you would put Elmo or Lenihan at right back then.
You're deluded if you think that constitutes the spine of a team pushing for promotion to the Premier League or the best first eleven in the Championship.

When did I ever say anything of the sort?
 
And for what it's worth, losing Tom wouldn't be a big loss IF we had signed more players by now, he's coasted for the last few season and not really produced a bit like Elmo (if he goes) I agree we should have and I would have wanted us to do more business by now, but until the window closes there is still time for us to do business and I'm sure we will :)

All the talk of asset stripping though is quite funny

All the players who have gone or are looking like they are going are players I was expecting to lose (bar CD) Harry was always going to go and the same with Robinson.

And just to put the record straight, I don't support the allams, I want them gone, I just won't blame them for absolutely everything without question. I try to stay Open minded and look at things without blinkers either way :)

The club have stated their aim is promotion, and Chazz (i think) maintained that no-one had a better starting 11 in the Championship earlier in this thread....perhaps I would have been better stating that 'people' are deluded rather than make it seem as though I was referring just to you. Just seems, in response to the accusations of panty wetting, that there are some who seem determined to, not so much paper over the cracks, more like dump a whole load of **** into the great ****ing chasm of chaos and pretend that everything is somehow on track or going to plan.
