thecraft Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I have feeling we might sign a keep too, Begovic was one of the first player we were linked too / bid for, seems strange that we haven't been linked to any other keepers since, but I sense a decent money bid for Begovic clearly had some careful consideration and thought behind it We bought Bunn since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Not sure where to ask this but given the new incomings and the players we left go, does anybody have a current squad list with homegrown status? Just curious how much flexibility we have atm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enda Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Excluding Grealish who's under 21, the first team squad of Guzan, Bunn, Steer (3) Cissokho, Richardson, Bennett, Amavi (4) Okore, Senderos, Baker, Clark (4) Richards, Hutton, Bacuna (3) N'Zogbia, Gil, Cole, Sinclair (4) Gueye, Sanchez, Westwood, Gardner (4) Kozak, Agbonlahor, Ayew (3) has 25 players. So if you want to add Angel Crespo, a new CB, Cambiasso, Praet, and Adebayor in there, you have to exclude five of the current squad. I struggle to see us getting rid of five of them (think we'll see Steer, Cissokho, and Baker leave), so I think we'll might only make 2 or 3 more signings. Edit: can't add. Not sure where to ask this but given the new incomings and the players we left go, does anybody have a current squad list with homegrown status? Just curious how much flexibility we have atm? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Just for the record guys, It was one week ago today that Richard said it would be "A huge week for the club". Not bagging out Richard or any of the "ITK" posters but given how this squad was short of quality it's not such a leap to say it was going to be a huge week. Even more so after losing Benteke & the snake. I'll bet that this next week will also be huge, we ain't finished yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the transfer kitty runs out we still have two loan slots to fill if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious how much flexibility we have atm? Off the top of my head we have Bunn, steer, baker, Bennett, Clark, Hutton, Richards, Richardson, Cole, Sinclair, Westwood and Gabby We need 8 homegrown players in our 25 man squad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I think the ambitious yet still realistic aim for departures by the end of the window is: 1. Steer on loan or Guzan permanently 2. Baker 3. Senderos 4. At least 2 fullbacks (I think the reason Crespo was brought in was to have him as the 3rd cover on either side) 5. See above 6. N'Zogbia 7. Kozak either permanently or on loan To make way for: 1. Keeper 2. Experienced centre back 3. Crespo 4. Veretout 5. Adebayor 6. Winger 7.

I think we could let, Cissokho, Richardson or Bennett,Senderos, Baker, NZogbia, Gardner and Cole go. That would give us the room for the incomings. Out of that lot though I see us holding on to Bennett, Cole and one of Senderos or Baker. Edited July 28, 2015 by avfc1982am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 There is nee sense wasting a home grown spot on a third choice keeper, get him selled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Get Jordan III in and I'm thinking we are only an Adebeyor and a CB short of having a proper squad. Next thing will be to shift more of the dead wood. Edited July 28, 2015 by dont_do_it_doug. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think just to challenge top 10, we'd need to sign a quality center back, and another midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we need to give the lad a chance this season. Also don't know why we would need another keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
