Transfers in and out? 16:11 - Aug 18 with 3575 views | FrankfurtBlue | If, as it would seem from KMc's latest comments, we are still looking for an additional player, surely we need to be moving on a player or two? If I am not wrong, we are bang on the squad limit of 22 (without GKs and U21s). Presumably, Penney is deemed surplus to requirements, now we have Davis and Leigh. I would have thought that Ndaba would want a loan, if he is now 6th choice CB. Aside from Simpson, any other likely departures? |  | | |  |

Harper is what 4th choice, maybe 5th, if you put Humphreys ahead of him? Think I would be inclined to keep him as cover. [Post edited 18 Aug 2022 16:23]

Transfers in and out? on 16:37 - Aug 18 with 2905 views | PioneerBlue | I make us 20 based on allowed GKs and U21s which was all covered in an earlier summer thread. It is sounding like potentially two others we are looking at, but selection is critical with a squad set on the direction we are heading. |  |

Either/or on Harper/Humphries, surely? Three centre midfielders isn't enough and our track record of recruiting centre midfielders for squad depth is dire. |  |

Got a feeling KM will bring in another CM. Agree we've not had a great record.. but I don't see him being comfortable with just ball. Evans and morsy. Harper I don't think he could trust and is cm humphreys best position? |  |

Yeah, doesn't make sense to let anyone go who would need to be replaced at this point. Can't roll with any less than 4 senior CMs. |  |

If Humphreys is sticking around then I think the intent is to play him. Can't see him spending another whole year playing only in the 23s. I know he can play either left sided position as well, but we are more than covered in those areas, surely if he's in the first team it's as a CM? I always thought that was where he was natural, but I know there are others on here who would know better than me. |  |

I dunno, I think we might leave things as they are in there. Personally, I would have felt a lot more comfortable keeping El Mizouni around rather than Harper, but by all accounts our planning seems to have evolved around Harper as fourth-choice midfielder. I think it'd be an odd to wait until now to sort it out if that was our thinking. |  |

McK is a very pragmatic, horses-for-courses manager. I don't so much think they were overlooked, he just wanted something different on the right. Jackson was chosen there, he is hardly a right wing back. He saw Donacien as cover enough on the right, and chose to play with essentially a winger rather than a wing-back. KVY and Edwards will have their uses for him this year I'd think. |  |

Not sure how you only get 20. I still make it 22, from the following list, which is the maximum allowable squad size. If, as KMc pretty much confirmed, they are looking at bringing in (at least) one more, then they must also be trying to shift, at least, one out.

It’s 21. John Jules is underage for these purposes. |  | |  |

It makes sense to keep Humphries as he doesn't count in the 22. Loaning out Ndaba and/or Harper seem like the most likely. Sell Penney (pun not intended). |  |

Penney is in the last year of his contract so I can’t see us getting a fee for him. Equally I can’t see him even making our 18 let alone the team except for the JPT so moving him on must be in both parties interests. |  | |  |

Is that definitely true? He was already 21 years old in February, so presumably would not count this season as an under 21. |  | |  |

Yes. For this season it’s the age you are on 1 January 2022 that counts. For 2023/24 season it will be the age you are on 1 January 2023 and so on. |  | |  |

Does anyone think we need to loan number 17 out, can't see him getting much game time, and could be beneficial to his development |  | |  |

Thanks for that explanation. So, we have room for one more overage player without having to offload anyone. Wonder how many we are actually targetting, and how KMc will keep those not regularly playing, or even involved in match day squads, happy. |  | |  |
