Anyone know when this is going to be released? That way we can start to get an idea of who has been left out and should/could be moved on.
We could probably guess it? Vorm Tremmel Moreira Monk Williams Caulker Taylor Bessone Rangel Britton Allen Gower Dobbie Routledge Sinclair Dyer Graham Moore Lita Beattie That's only 20 so far... who am I missing? Anyone under 21 doesn't have to be registered... how old is Alfei? Bodde?
Augustien! Tits! Haha. If Brendan hadn't said "I intend to give Butler a chance" I'd doubt his inclusion, but I guess he'll be in along with Orlandi too. Good point about Caulker being 19, so including the ones mentioned we're up to 22? I don't see Cotterill being included.

Thought Cotterill has been told he's free to find another club??!! Not good enough for the 1st team. Butler last night, looks good on the ball, but that's it, doesn't offer anything for me. Pity as I like the guy as a professional, should have no sentiment now though....
...that's a good question. It's a transfer window, so I suppose if they're free agents, they aren't transferring from anywhere. Found the answer: from here: http://www.fmformation.net/fm09-general-guides/37836-english-transfer-window.html
2) Each 25-man squad must include at least eight 'home-grown' players. 3) The 'home-grown' players do not have to be English. According to the Premier League: "A home grown player is defined as one who, irrespective of his nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to the Football Association or the Welsh Football Association for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons or 36 months prior to his 21st birthday (or the end of the season during which he turns 21)." In practice this means that Cesc Fabregas, who joined Arsenal when he was 16, counts as one of the Gunners' home-grown quota. 4) In addition to the 25-man named squad, clubs can use an unlimited number of players aged 21 or under. This means that Manchester City's new £22.5m striker Mario Balotelli, who is just 20, does not need to be named in their 25-man squad. According to the Premier League: "An Under 21 player is defined as one who is under the age of 21 on 1st January in the year in which the season commences. For the 2010/11 campaign Under 21 players will have been born on or after 1st January 1989." 5) Clubs can make changes to their squad but only during transfer windows, so once submitted the clubs will be stuck with that squad until January. Only in exceptional circumstances, such as a goalkeeper crisis, can changes be made outside the window, and then only if the Premier League board approves the changes. 6) Once the transfer window opens again, there are no restrictions on how many changes clubs can make to their squads, so they can replace the entire 25 if they want to. 7) Even if a player is not named in the 25-man squad, they can still play in the FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League or Europa League. 8) Players from the 25-man squad cannot be replaced if they are loaned to Football League clubs, but can regain their spot in the group if they return to the parent club. 9) Clubs do not have to name a full squad of 25 if they do not have that many contracted players and in this case they can add free agents outside the transfer window. However if they have 25 eligible contracted players, they must be named. 10) Similarly, clubs do not have to name eight 'home-grown' players if they do not have enough, but this would mean submitting a reduced squad.

Sylvinho!!! Andy van der Meyde! You sure this is a list of free agents and not a who's who of unlikely heros? Edgar Davids anyone?

This would imply that Cotterill and Butler would have to be named to the squad since they are contracted and over 21 - ???
Our 25 man squad is full now 1. Michel Vorm 2. Ashley Williams 3. Neil Taylor 4. Alan Tate 5. Ferrie Bodde 6. Leon Britton 7. Andrea Orlandi 8. Craig Beattie 9. Danny Graham 10. Scott Sinclair 11. Nathan Dyer 12. Stephen Dobbie 13. Wayne Routlidge 14. Garry Monk 15. David Cotterill 16. Leroy Lita 17. Luke Moore 18. Jose Moreira 19. Angel Rangel 20. Gerhard Tremmel 21. Kemy Augustien 22. Mark Gower 23. Thomas Butler 24. Federico Bessone 25. Rafik Halliche (if we have actually got him) If we havn't got Halliche then we can add a free agent in if we sign one. We can't omit Tate or Bodde from the squad to make room for a possible free agent because they're on the books.
