Likely leavers 07:39 - Jul 24 with 3405 views

Young gets us to 29 in the squad.

In’s expected - CF at least 1, CM 1/2 and one forward if Omari leaves.

That’s going to get us to the 32 ish mark meaning we need to lose 7.

Morsy, Slicker and Muric and probably Hutch will all go so that means 4 more need to go or not be registered.

Potentially Baggott and Humphrey’s to go out on loan but who else?

Harry Clark maybe or Johnson? Broadhead although I think it would be stupid to get rid.Al Hamidi?

Clarke and Al-Hamidi the most likely would be my best guess.

I make it currently 27 (Humphreys and Hutch are extras under the 21 year exclusion rule).

We’ll def move on at least 2 keepers. Nobody has 5. Yes, I think you’re right with Slicker and Muric.
Sam is going

So that will take us to 24. Depends then on whether we bring in senior players or U21s.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we sell Johnson. Baggott another loan. That would gives us 3 senior spots left.

Poll:

Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

Humphreys and Hutchinson are 22 before January 1st which is when the cut off is so they are not exluded

Broadhead ? Not for me as he is good at championship level.

We don't need 3 left sided players so if Broadhead stats, one of Clarke or Philogene has to go

-1

Need to move Johnson/Clarke on now - you can’t have 3 RB for 1 position in a 25 man squad. Johnson a good earner so suspect he’d be the preference to move on.

Then you are looking at likely: Muric, Slicker, Morsy, Hutchinson, Baggott, Humphreys

Leaves us with:
GK: Palmer, Walton, Button
RB: Young, H.Clarke
CB: O’Shea, Woolfenden, Greaves, Kipre
LB: Davis, Townsend
CDM: Matusiwa, Taylor, +2
RM: Ogbene, Burns
CAM: Chaplin, Szmodics
LM: Broadhead, J.Clarke, J.Philogene
ST: Hirst, Al-Hamadi, +1

25 man squad, plus academy options for cups; Barbrook, Taylor, Boniface, Tudor-Mendel

Correct - the EFL handbook makes this clear. We have no-one in the senior squad that counts as U21 right now. I think it's unlikely we'll be able to boost the 25 with any U21s for the coming season. Do not confuse EFL U21 definitions with the FIFA U21 qualification criteria (which recognises the 2 years between a competition starting, and finals)

EFL handbook definitions :

‘Under 21 Player’ means a Player under the age of 21 as at the 1 January in the year in
which the Season concerned commences.

Guidance
For Season 2025/26 an Under 21 Player is someone born on or after 1 January 2005.

Enables us to keep Humphries as a 4th CMf and utility 10. Moving AAH allows flexible cover by taking a pure Striker 9 or someone able to play minutes in rotation with Hirst or cover a 10 or RW position much like Kayden Jackson did (hopefully upgrade)!

I think that looks fairly accurate.

However, Humphreys wouldn't make 4 midfielders - he'd surely make 5?

1) Matusiwa
2) Taylor
3), 4) The additional 2 you budget for signing
5) Humphreys

Like others, I can't see it being ideal only to have 2 strikers. I appreciate that we have January coming if we need to fix something, and at Champ level if we really do have a crisis I suppose we could cope OK with Sammy up there making a nuisance of himself for a few games...

I can certainly see us reverting more to the "finishers" model of using more subs, earlier, than last year. We're fine for wingers and 10s, even with OH gone (sheds a tear), but just one injury or suspension up front and suddenly we don't have that option and we're asking a lot of Hirst or A.N.Other.

Muric Slicker Johnson Baggott Morsy Taylor Hutchinson Broadhead Al-Hamadi

Think Johnson stays. He will be of more use in the PL than Clarke. Also Taylor and Broadhead will still be here. Philogene will be used in a few different positions, so Clarke and Broadhead for the LM role. The others I would agree with.
