THE LIST OF 25

[trautmansdropkick]

I have just looked at the list on the official club site and it includes guys like Adebayor, Weiss and Santa Cruz who we believe are going on loan for the season and, indeed, it includes Michael Johnson and Santa Cruz who we KNOW are out on loan.

My potential 25, taken from those who remain on the list: -

GK: Hart, Pantilimon, Taylor

Def: Richards, Zabaleta, Toure K, Savic, Lescott, Kompany, Clichy, Kolarov

Mid: Barry, Nasri, Johnson A, De Jong, Milner, Silva, Toure Y

Str: Dzeko, Aguero, Balotelli, Tevez, Tchueumi-Nimely.

That is 23 names = NB: Neither Guidetti NOR Suarez NOR Angel Roman NOR Mancini A NOR Assulin are listed on the official player page.
So we have Bridge, Bellamy, Boyata, Weiss and SWP who are rumoured to be going, either loan or sale, together with Cunningham, Razak, Ibrahim to take up the remaining places.
Maybe Guidetti, Assulin and Suarez could be pulled in - it'll be very interesting

The list on the web site at the moment isn't accurate - it is still showing the goalkeepers Gonzalez and Nielsen in the squad but isn't Gonzalez at Dundee or Montrose or somewhere in Scotland?

I'd have though that would probably be the prem one as a 23 man squad expanded by some youth teamers. I can't see him registering any of the U21's as there no need.

Four of - Richards, Nimley, Ibrahim, Loris Karus and Guidetti/Cunningham are going to have to be registered in our CL 25 as they are the only players at the club that have actually played a first team game/have first team game time that have been at the club for three years.

Think it's Aberdeen? Nielson's useless, got to get rid of him soon! Also Loris Karus is on the verge of going on loan to Mainz in the german top league.

Hargreaves?

Yeah, didn't know about him yesterday, bluemoon.

Apparently the lists need to be submitted by 5pm on Friday.

Under 21s do not need to be included so our 29 players will be fine - Razak, Nimely, Cunningham & Savic all under 21!

Of course this includes Neilsen, Onuoha & Bridge so it will be interesting to see who is included.

P.S. The Football League allow loan deals outside the window so we might still get rid of Bridge!!
