Moses is definitely out, McGregor and Bruce are out for 4-6 months (McGregor isn't expected back until January and assuming we sign another keeper, is unlikely to be named) and the U21's don't need to be included.
Personally, I don't believe that our final 25 man squad will include 20 players already at the club.
You lot do, which is fair enough, we'll find out by the end of month.

That's a different point, I think we'll probably sell some players too.
The point made was that we only had five places available, as twenty of them had already been used up, I don't believe that to be the case.
I also wouldn't be surprised in Bruce isn't named in the squad, not only is he injured for 4-6 months, but if Ehab's still here, he'll want him out on January anyway.
Well I agree with that, the first thing any new manager will do is tell Alex he's surplus to requirements. If he hadn't just signed a new deal we'd pay him off.
I think we will need to sign 8 players before the close of the window. Realistically probably wont happen. I think we need 2 new strikers to give competition to Abel and Dio. We need at least 2-3 players in the midfield/wide areas to cover departures and inevitable injuries through the season. We need at least 2 new center back as we currently have 1 fully fit player their and we need another dependable goal keeper. I wouldnt have a clue who to go for at this moment in time as it seems we have left too much to do for the new manager before they come in.
Really? Thought they'd be used to Dad looking after Junior.

Agree I think jnr will go, got a feeling that's one of the reasons that Keith Bertschin went as he was seen to be too close to SB for Ehab's liking and nothing to do with a new manager.
Sky sources understand West Ham are in talks with Inter Milan over a loan-to-buy deal for Davide Santon.
West Ham have offered a loan fee of £460k for the Italian full-back, with an obligation to buy him for £5m next summer.
That may mean they're leaving Robertson alone!

It's fairly evident they're after a back up while Cresswel is out, Robertson isn't a back up. The mildly amusing part is they're after someone who is fit and Santon has already failed a medical this summer.
We can't do that now anyway can we? Don't we only have 19 players that need registering? And that includes Diame.
Pretty much, as a rule you don't register players U21 as they take up spots. Which is academic if we aren't going to sign anybody anyway.
