As I think most now know we do in actual fact have a 25 man squad to submit. Currently, excluding the loan players we have 23 first team players. But I would expect out of that a few more to go, or not be involved at all (going by who has been involved in the last few weeks): Diakite, Young, Ephraim, Traore, Cesar, and maybe Mbia. That is 5 or 6 to take out of the 23, leaving us with only 17/18 players. That is clearly too thin, and I think with Faurlin, and Johnson out injured for Ipswich we are already down to the bare bones. Certainly need 5/6 players in, but I cant see that many coming in. None of the players in that list are likely to be involved at all really.
Hogan will stay No one will buy Cesar and Big Phil has given him the green light to stay and play in the WC I also think M'Bia will stay
I think we'll be buying squad players Judo, rather than starters, unless some of these Spurs things come off. Zapata dumped already apparently. But may also go for EPL loans right at the end of the window, which may not be a bad thing. Get promoted (hopefully) and less of a need for another complete rebuild. You missed Barton off your list of potential leavers. That story is far from finished.
