28 senior players now - so need to shift 3 to name the 25 man squad 08:59 - Jul 14 with 3024 viewsitfcjoe

5 keepers on the books so definitely a couple there to go; and now Elkan Baggott likely to with 5 senior CBs now.

Yep. Muric and Slicker look the likeliest to be exiting. Half a thought Button might not be registered as a player too.

Aside from that based on quality and pedigree I’d say next out is Ali, then Humphreys (or Taylor).

The next big question is what happens with Broadhead. Got to be new deal or sell I’d guess.

Someone said that Broady is first out the door should we bring another attacking midfielder in (which we seem to like collecting!) I'd imagine one of Taylor/Humphreys will go, potentially Hutch and as you say, Ali too.

Hutch and Davis (if offers come in)

Taylor - transfer/ loan
Morsy - transfer
Broady - if no new deal is signed
Muric - transfer

Slicker - loan
Humphreys - loan

My left field thoughts...

Ogbene - loan (he won't ever be the same player)
Burns - transfer

Muric & Hutch to leave.
Baggott on loan.
Poss. Broady and Morsy to go too.


Hopefully I’m wrong on a few of those - I’ll be gutted if we lose Hutch and disappointed to see Broady or Sam go.

Taylor
Muric
Slicker
Humph
AAH
Baggott
Sounds like Morsy is off for real this time
Noises are Broad is off back up north
Can’t see Hutch staying but I wish he would

Lots to do IMVHO

At a guess, I think the following could still be up for going;
Muric
Morsy
Slicker
Taylor
Al-Hamadi
Johnson
Hutchinson
Walton
Broadhead
Baggott

Of course they won't all go, but they seem the likely candidates to me.

No way Burns goes. He won't even be fit!

Which realistically means we'll be losing at least double that number by the end of the summer to get all the faces we want in, and I imagine that's a conservative estimate. Morsy, Broadhead and Hutchinson the obvious old favourites to go, which would remove a huge chunk of quality and experience.

I think Broadhead staying or going probably depends on Hutchinson staying/going. I think we wouldn't like to lose them both.

Muric/Slicker to go out. Baggott probably goes on loan as well. Can see Morsy leaving for more football, and wouldn't surprise me if someone comes in for Ben Johnson. I don't think we'll see Taylor leave - his familiarity and the fact he played last season quite a bit means I think McK will want to keep him for this season, especially if Morsy goes.

I make it 27 on squad count (Humphries U21, Baggott over 21).

Far easier to deal in current facts.

Everything else is contingent upon many factors whether driven by club or player.

In order to cover the Cmf and Striker needs we need to shift 4 to accommodate before we decide to make any other adjustments.

25=27+2[-4].

Muric
Slicker
(possibly Walton if Button is registered)
Baggott

To find the other one it could be OH and or Broadhead are sold and worst case Burns is not registered for first half of season.

Humphreys is over 21 for this season, him and Omari actually born on the same day

Taylor for me needs to be shifted. Never asserted himself as a starter and he has had plenty of chances. For a player McKenna really chased, has he improved at all after 2 years of McKennas coaching? With him clearly wanting to start games but only having 1 year on his contract, I would deffo be looking to get anything back for him to avoid him leaving on a free in the summer. From my persepective his ship sailed long ago. His biggest failing that I see is not forming a partnership with any other player on the pitch let alone his double pivot partner. He looks lost in the double pivot and is miles behind our attacking options as a 10 - just does not suit our system in any way.

Possible options
(a) Sell now
(b) keep as squad player and accept he will likely walk for free next summer
(c) extend contract and possibly accept his wishes for more starts

Assuming Hutch goes, I think we'll end up looking like the below for our 25 man squad. One or two strikers to come in, one more midfielder. I think squad-wise that should give us enough to get promoted and hopefully enough FFP room to add in January if needed / the opportunity arises

First 11:
Palmer
Johnson - O’Shea - Greaves - Davis
New - Matusiwa
Philogene - Szmodics - Clarke
Hirst

Second 11:
Walton
Clarke - Wolf - Kipre - Townsend
Morsy - Taylor
Ogbene - Chaplin - Broadhead
New ST

Squad:
Young GK, Burns, Ali / New ST, Humphries (if not loaned)

Another striker seems priority now I think, given Hirst's injury record. As it stands currently, if he's out for any period of time, then we are calling on AAH again.

I don't see Morsy, Taylor, Humphreys or Davis reducing the senior numbers necessarily because we would need to replace each player.

Muric and Slicker to leave imo, definitely. If Broadhead sadly departs, or a different attacking player, arguably we don't replace them with a new senior player. I wouldn't given the current imbalance.

I don't remember a time when we named a final squad with fewer than 5 CMs in it (maybe it happened more recently than I think?), so perhaps we'll pick up a permanent U21 there at some point to ease the squad pressure, maybe to replace Humphreys.

I'm expecting 2 x No. 9s in, then we let AAH go. At least 1 of those coming in will be a loan, so may not happen until late in the window. Can hopefully be done sooner, so we don't end up like we did last summer, but there is a lot of EPL business that needs concluding before some may be made available on loan...

Second clause spot on, and still an understatement buh.

Yes a premier league youngster on loan would do, but like you say, likely to be towards the end of the transfer window before that will happen. AAH should go I think, I don't think he has a future with us. I see him as a league one player at best.

There is enough players that we should move on, could move on and non-register for it not to be an issue currently.

Thinking of; Muric, Button, Slicker, Al-Hamadi, Baggott, Humphreys, Hutchinson

Need to be more than 3 if we want to strengthen the squad. If I could wave a magic wand..

Slicker on loan
Muric or Walton
Baggott
Taylor
Cam loan

I think we need 3 strikers in the squad so think Ali has a role as our third choice
