The Squad for Next Season

Here is the current situation regarding our squad. Please feel free to comment below and if everyone is in agreement I’ll update with any changes.

I’ve made it a sticky because unless there is overwhelming disagreement I see this (together with the Stadium issue) as the major talking points for a while.


The following format is Position, Number Required, Number Confirmed, (Players Confirmed), (To Be Filled/Confirmed)

Goalies 2,2 (Bull, Arnold)
Right Backs 2,2 (Mccoy, Foster)
Centre Backs 4,3 (Winfield, Johnson, Halls), (TBF)
Left Backs 2,2 (Sandell, Tunnicliffe)
Right Mids 2,2 (Betsy*, Ainsworth)
Centre Mids 4,4 (Bloomfield, Harding, Lewis, Donnelly)
Left Mids 2,1 (Betsy*), (Grant)
Strikers 4,5 (Rendell, Strevens, Beavon, McClure, Benyon)

* Betsy can either play Right Mid or fill in at Left Mid if necessary

Any one know why squad numbers 4, 14, 15, 24, 25, and 31 aren't being used?

Final comment from Josh 13/8/2011
"Halls is CM, Tunni is CB, only 4 strikers now McClure has gone. Might want to take Arnold out and put Ingram in?

14 isn't used in honour of Mark Philo and 4 has been eternally damaged ever since Alan Bennett wore it and no future player wants to be associated with him."

Thanks Steve. I've updated it to include those half expected to be confirmed

 

I've put Grant as a striker for now.

 

Good to see Gary Waddock busy at work bringing in players he think will improve the club. I wonder if he will bring in more aldershot players eg Luke Gutteridge. Because he scored 10 for the shots last three seasons and is a decent midefielder. And another free-kick specialist.

 

From my Crewe source, Grant is primarily a left winger who can also play up front. He adds balance to the squad and I for one am delighted with the acquisition.

 

i think waddock has bought him as a winger but its also handy that he can play up front.

 

Do u count the 4 youth teamers

(RW) Kadeem Harris
(MF) Josh Scowen Jesse Kewley-Graham
(CB) Anthony Stewart

 

Yes if they are up to L1 football. Do any of these qualify? I guess KH is the most likely, having been offered pro contract, but I don't know much about these.

 

kadeem harris will probably be loaned out to gain experience ron,i have seen him a few times pacey ,tricky little winger looks to have a good future,anthony stewart has had rave reviews for the reserves this season so he could be one to watch out for as well ,but again i expect he will be loaned out to gain experience

 

Cheers Rocky.

 

Do we still have Matt McClure as a possible striker, or has he moved on?

 

Last I heard PB he was still under contract but I see he isn't in the "squad" for next year. I wonder if this is an oversight by us.

 

foster has agreed a new 2 year deal today and says he is over the moon ,he didnt want to go anywhere else

 

I may be a cynic, but don't they all say that?
In fairness to Mr Disco Pants, he did play quite well at the back end of the season. Not sure he is totally cut out for league 1, but will make a good back up

 

Scott Davies is no longer an option as he has signed for Crawley today. Can only mean either we didn't offer him anything or he has only gone for the money.

 

Hopefully it means we are close to getting Donnelly, which would mean that signing Davies would be excessive.

 

Thanks chaps. I've updated it for Foster and Davies. What about McClure?

 

mcclure is already under contract for another year at least

 

westwood isn't staying which means another two centre backs should be arriving soon
