Another aspect to be aware of is homegrown rules. On the face of it, we’re fine. Currently have well into double figures in that preposterous 41 player squad. However of those, I’m only absolutely sure of 6 of them still being with us on September 1st.

Most of the names that regularly get mentioned as potential leavers are in that homegrown bracket. Whilst I know there are ways around it, there’s definitely something there to consider for the club - and likely a reason why the squad will contain a few that otherwise may have moved on. And certainly from next season we’ll need to pay more attention to this during recruiting. Can’t be all Francophones from this point on.

My understanding is we must name a 25 man premier league squad. U21 players, like Rigg, are not included in that, so technically we can have a squad bigger than 25 able to play.

Of the 25 8 must be homegrown. Our current homegrown list I reckon is as follows.

Patto
Neil
Cirkin
Ballard
ONien
Moore
Alese
Browne
Hjelde
Huggins
Roberts
Anderson

Of that 12 as it stands 8 need to be listed in our 25 man squad. I think. You would think Patto, Ballard, ONien, Moore would be certainties at this stage? Neil and Cirkin too if they stay. So we have 6. We need to name 2 more unless we buy. Roberts and Hjelde would make sense. If we sell Neil it starts to look more difficult and any replacement would surely need to be homegrown? Same for if Cirkin goes?

can add Mundle to your list. His years at Spurs pre-Belgium will contribute to homegrown

Talksport are saying we offered DCL to be our highest paid player but turned us down

seen an article last week saying he didn't want to come to us, but was apparently quoted as saying he wanted a "further up the table" club. Blokes a walking sicknote and I would hate to think we were paying him a fortune to miss chunks of the season. Add to that the Geography, probably doesn't move house, much like Jackie boy going to Everton.

Spot on marra! I'd like to think he wasn't a target.

I can believe that we wanted DCL, think it would've been before Guiu signed though. I think he's alright but at the wages he reportedly wants there's better out there. Not going to lose sleep over him going to Leeds.

Personality and performance of a veteran for #Kouadio: against #ManchesterUnited, he showed he’s already mature enough for top-level football. And
@SunderlandAFC
is keeping tabs on him.

I'm looking forward to seeing Guiu. We've been worrying about goals on here for a while,but I've a Chelsea mate who really rates him. If we can get him the service.....he thinks we have a gem. Ok,we'll see.

Overseas over 21s.

Roefs
Alderete
Xhaka
Mandava
Masuaka
Hume
Le Fee
Adingra
Isidor

9 plus our homegrown 8. That makes up to 7 more berths in our 25 man squad. Then we have our u21s in additon

Diarra
Rigg
Talbi
Guiu
Mayenda
Sadiki

I dont believe we sign another 7 and bloat the genuine 1st team squad so much. But I think it perhaps shows the need to shop in the English market if we can. May add some sense to why we went for Calvert Lewin (if we did).
