Confirmed. Sunderland have revealed their 24-man squad for the first half of the Premier League campaign. Clubs have to register their league squads once the transfer window closes and Dick Advocaat has named 24 players including Liam Bridcutt and Will Buckley, who are both available for transfer. Clubs have to provide a squad list containing no more than 17 players who do not fulfil the Home Grown Player (HGP) criteria. The remainder of the squad - up to a total of 25 players - must be home grown. Outcast Charalampos Mavrias, who has been told he can leave the club, is included among the Under 21 players. Mavrias, who joined Sunderland from Panathinaikos in 2013, has made just six appearances for the Black Cats.

have we only named 24? isnt it 25 ? Lets say if you sign a free agent can they be added if your squad has room ? Vlaar ?
I don't think so. Essentially he is now a 1st teamer, but due to his age he doesn't have to take up a squad place.
The squad is only for registration purposes and Watmore doesn't need to be registered that's why he's put with u21 but he's still part of the senior set up.
