How many need to leave to meet squad limits? 18:31 - Aug 28 with 3273 viewsDubtractor

Assuming that Nunez, Furlong and Azon all sign, maybe your Norwegian lad too, how many players need to be moved on to meet the squad limit?


I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

Think would be up to 30 with Nunez, Furlong & Azon so 5. Egeli wouldn't count as he's U21.

27+3 makes 30, so we'd need to leave out 5

townsend/clarke h/baggott are pretty safe bets

then it could be burns/taylor/humph/aah for the other 2 unless there's unexpected ones (johnson?)

Poll: do you do judo and/or do you do voodoo?

We’ve got 25 already, assuming Townsend (a certainty), H. Clarke and Wes aren’t registered for this first half of the season.

So with those 3 you mention (Norway chap is U21 and a free hit) we would need to lose three.

Presumably we’re looking at:
- Baggott loan (likely)
- AAH not registered/loan for when fit/released (likely)
- Plus one other (Woolfie, but that would be stupid as it would only leave us with 3 CBs) or Cam loan/Taylor move on

Poll: Escaped Goat of the day. Who’s it going to be?

In addition
Ben Johnson and Wolfy leave and Caceres or another centre half join.

SUMMER 2024 TRANSFER RUMOURS (OUT):

Cieran Slicker (Loan)
Ali Al-Hamadi (Loan)



27+3 makes 30, so we'd need to leave out 5

townsend/clarke h/baggott are pretty safe bets

then it could be burns/taylor/humph/aah for the other 2 unless there's unexpected ones (johnson?)


30 if Nunez signs, so need 5 out...

1) Can't see the point in registering Button unless we intend to play him - would have to be seriously unlucky to have both Palmer / Walton out at the same time; we had Slicker as 3rd choice who was U21 last time we were in the division, so register Gray (or bring in another U21 if not deemed ready in an emergency)
2) Loan for Baggott - needs game time for his development and will be 5th choice CB
3) Loan for Humphreys - needs game time for his development and will be 5th choice DM
4) Unfortunately not much point registering Townsend if he's likely to be out for the whole season
5) Might be a player sale out of the blue for the final spot, but if not, probably looking at another loan - Harry Clarke or Al-Hamadi (or both if we register Button) Both of them being injured throws a spanner in the works though.

Poll: My morning poo-poo took 3 flushes to clear. Who do I call?

McKenna suggested in an interview a couple of weeks ago that Humphreys would be included in the squad.

But maybe he wasn't expecting as many additions.

1) Presumably Button can be registed as an emergency if Palmer/Walton injured.
2) Agreed
3) Probably after the Furlong signing. Humphreys would have been emergency cover at left back and centre. Love to see him continue his development playing games, like the cut of his jib if that is still correct to say? But at some stage he will want to be playing regularly and settled.
4) Agreed
5) If Harry's recovery is better than expected a loan I presume or maybe sell. :-(

6) The Wolf unfortunately will make way on loan or perm
7) Johnson would be struggling to make game day imho
8) AAH had interest too so depending on his injury and recovery time could go on loan/sell

Personally I would not like to deregister players for the obvious reasons. Let those not registered either leave or go get game time elsewhere.

Edit: Burns bad injury so presumably not in the squad to rehab. Maybe Burns will return in the second half of the season and pushes us to champions. Which is his destiny.

We need to cover for injury and suspension, so 3 goalies we are happy can play. Walton and Muric were injured at the same time last season.

Clarke sounds like he'll be fit enough soon enough to loan out. Maybe the same with Ali. Might well be someone prepared to take him if it's only a matter of weeks, doing a deal based on how often he plays.

If Woolfy goes, then he'd be the only one in the squad - assuming Baggott goes on loan - who is a homegrown player.

In addition
Ben Johnson and Wolfy leave and Caceres or another centre half join.

Think we have to have one to keep the full complement on the bench.
