With Michut & Ba, we have a squad of 25. That includes two long-term injured in Ballard& Huggins…. I’d expect Winny to go, Matete on loan…. But no more than that.

Then 1 in, 1 out if we bring in better players, bar the centre-back on loan.
Remember, u21 players don't need to be registered - so Michut, Ba, Cirkin, Bennette, Neil etc don't count towards the 25 yet.

Seeing as you have to have a minimum of 15 players in a squad it's actually more likely we'll need to "register" a couple of them anyway to meet that
 
Been fully behind the clubs policy of bringing in young talent
Resigned to looking at Premier academy cast off's who we can revitalize.
No problem with that good sustainable model
But the level of these 3 lads is off the scale
Diallo cost Man U something like £20m and Michut has played in the same team as bloody Messi and Neymar
Recruitment team should be getting a lot of praise for this.
Almost double that for Diallo mate
 
Pm'd this back in July. The lad who kept telling me about the French player sent me the message from France in French. I translated 'attaquant' as striker when it means more like attack minded. It's good enough for me <laugh>


"There's not been much action in the PL and I think there'll be some late movement.

That's where we're looking, as far as I know, which is encouraging although one lad keeps telling me we're signing a striker from the French league. He won't say anything else so I'm not posting about it."

Attaquant would be a forward/striker as I know it (playing in local French clubs in my teenage years), so your translation would be accurate.

So either he wasn't talking about michut, or he got his position wrong. Hopefully he was talking about someone else and we're getting another surprise signing from the French league!

@Prehab26 Just watched his interview on safc.com. Now I am no 'columbo' but he said the president convinced me to sign because they are developing younger players and lots of clubs were in for him.I am going to say Kyril has worked his magic here. Do you think he personally speaks to these players? The same with 'Ba'.
