…. challenge keeping these many seniors happy
Ndaba and Humphreys will go out
But if Keogh joins Burgess won’t even make the match day bench
Understand that Keogh brings that experience of promotion and dressing room seniority that perhaps bar the character of Morsy we lack
But it’s a challenge when real quality and senior players can’t make the bench
KVY didn’t make Bolton bench which is mad. And I wonder if Edwards will even make the starting 11 in the cup… which again seems crazy
In McKenna we trust |  |

Ndaba, Humphreys and Hughes will go out IMO.
Penney will be moved on. Harper could go out again. |  |

Feel we’ll bring in someone else if we let Harper go, like we did with Bakinson. |  |

There's a bigger argument than ever for the deep squad given five subs (much as I hate it). Soon enough we'll have players X Y and Z out for three or four weeks at a time and then you see how strong your bench really is. Tough job keeping people happy I agree but there are more minutes available to players than ever and that should go some way towards sating a few of them. | |

In addition to Ball? You might be right.
Will be interesting to see if its Harper and Ball tonight? | |

Woolfy to Wolves?
Burgess to Bacelona?
Who knows... feels unnecessary to me |  | | |

I think Humphrey’s will stay. They’re trying to get Hughes out on loan. |  |

Yes - could be argued Ball has replaced Carroll. | |

Yes, it could be. Feel a bit sorry for Harper if I'm honest.
Morsy/Evans/Ball is going to be tough for him break into, needs to take his chance tonight. | |

Imagine it'd Barca were permitted to register Burgess but not Lewandowski... So had to loan him to use. Would he fit KMK's plans? |  |

I guess he could take Jackson's place on the bench | | | |

In what way do you feel he's replaced Carroll? Think if he hadn't been on the end of 'robust' challenge in training he'd have started against Bolton | |

In terms of numbers in the squad. | |

Carroll was third or fourth choice. I'd say Ball is either second or third choice for one of the two central midfield slots with Morsy the nailed on number one on the teamsheet if available. Personally I'd be really surprised if he didn't have a lot more starts than Carroll | |

It’s a long season with injuries, suspensions and international call ups.
We won’t see a drop in quality when any of those things occur. Not many other teams will be able to say that. [Post edited 9 Aug 2022 14:42]

And without the ability to replace them with no loans between September and January.
A delicate balancing act for us, but we should ensure we use our financial muscle to have a deep as squad as possible.
I'd argue this season we need to be 'selfish'. Club first, player second. |  | | |

Me too but in terms of numbers last season we had four senior central midfielders at the end of the season in Bakinson, Carroll, Evans and Morsy. At the current stage of this season we have four senior central midfielders in Ball, Evans, Harper and Morsy. | |

Woolfy to Wolves?
Burgess to Bacelona?
Who knows... feels unnecessary to me |
Burns to Burnley
Morsy to Morecambe
Chaplin to Charlton
Donacien to Doncaster
Walton to Walton on the Naze
Edmundson to Bury St Edmunds
Harness to Harleston
Where would Hladky, Edwards, Evans or Ladapo go though? |  |

With the demands of the season, you have to be able to build a squad, not just an 11, not just an 18, a full squad is required, and of course it also the job of the staff to maintain harmony.
The top sides around the world have depth and quality, and the ability to bring players in a seemingly smooth transition when other players aren't available.
Players like Burgess, KVY & Aluko for example are absolutely paramount to a successful side - very much unsung heros.
Even with the addition of Keogh and maybe another ST, the squad is far from over bloated - especially if real fringe players like Ndaba, El Mizouni, Humphreys & Penney leave. |  | | |
