After the Buzz mystery, I checked on the offish to find out who is still listed/omitted Goalkeepers 1. Paddy Kenny 24. Radek Cerny 26. Brian Murphy #. Robert Green Defenders 3 Clint Hill 13. Armand Traore 18. Luke Young 35. Anton Ferdinand 42. Nedum Onuoha #. Fabio Da Silva (on loan from Man U ) #. Ryan Nelsen Midfielders 2. Samba Diakite 4. Shaun Derry 7. Adel Taarabt 11. Alejandro Faurlin 17. Joey Barton 25. Hogan Ephraim 32. Shaun Wright-Phillips #. Max Ehmer #. Ji Sung Park (not on the offish yet) Forwards 9. DJ Campbell 10. Jay Bothroyd 12. Jamie Mackie 20. Rob Hulse 21. Tommy Smith 22. Heidar Helguson 23. Djibril Cisse 31. Ray Jones 52. Bobby Zamora #. Andrew Johnson That's 29 with no Kieron Dyer listed. All positions are per website. Have I missed anyone? Will we have DJ, Paddy, Pulse, Both, Max and Hoges in August? Have to say it's starting to look very impressive, still a bit light at the back though and with the goalkeeper situation to be resolved there is room for 2-3 more I reckon. Roll on August!!!!
RIP That's a pretty impressive squad developing Ian. We may not be challenging for the Prem or Champions league but we should stay up. That will do for me just now. I'm gagging for next season, I can't wait for the new season to start and get back down to HQ for the first game of the season. I love it.
So jealous of you all that will be there at the start of the season. I will be online (I hope) in Peru from the start of the season until the end of August but the level of anticipation is greater now than ever (that's with nearly 40 years of supporting). I don't have any firm plans to be back in the UK until November 2013 unfortunately - just got back from there on Sunday night - although with ageing parents still living in Wales, you never know. I did get back in Jan/Feb for a week and made the Villa game....
- and for that reason, I hope the 'routine' visit in November 2013 is your next trip home. As for the start of the season, knowing your passion for them Rs, you'll be here just as much as we will mate. I'm sure streams in Peru won't obstruct anything far as you're concerned.
