I am beginning to worry a little about the low number of players in our squad, with LM, RDL already moved on and Inler, YB possible to move on soon. We will be down to around 22 which is not enough for the premier league never mind our journey in Europe! I fell that we need another 3 signings and even then we will struggle!!
I'm sure CR's got it all in hand. My worry is all the new comers. They'll need time to settle & gel, time they ain't got.
A champions league squad must be a maximum of 25 with 8 "locally trained players" of which no more than four can be 'association-trained players'. http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/newsid=2277105.html
When do we need to submit the squad to UEFA? Didn't we work out the home grown list a while back & decide we were pretty much ok as its not as strict as it used to be, if you've been here for more than a fortnight you're home grown!
I think you have to submit something on Thursday but you can add to it - can leave empty spaces that you can fill at the end of the transfer window.
Do you honestly think will will sign 3 more players before the window shuts? I am not so sure we will sign anymore, thus our only option will be to name developement players to make up the numbers!!!
Why? He wants to leave and we want to get rid so would be a waste of a squad place if we bring in more players.
He only wants to leave because he doesn't get a bloody game! Obviously he isn't doing something right in training or he has poked Claudio's daughter. I am surprised if he is going, he hasn't been gone for months
It is a bit odd, if he wants to go it is presumably because he's not playing. We haven't sold him or let him go on loan which suggests we want to keep him but he's not playing. Surely after a year we've had an opportunity to guide him where he's going wrong in training, if that's the case. If he's not the right fit for us we should allow him to go, as we did with Kramarić.
He appears to be a fine footballer and person, but looks better suited to continental football. Has looked far too slow on the ball when I have seen him. He has qualities, but not for fast counter attacking football. Wish him well.
