    Have we got too many players?

    Got this off wikipedia to save time:
    1 England GK Luke Steele
    2 England DF Bobby Hassell (captain) - lol
    3 England DF Scott Golbourne
    4 England DF Tom Kennedy
    5 Wales DF Lewin Nyatanga
    6 England DF Martin Cranie
    7 Scotland MF Jim O'Brien
    8 Republic of Ireland MF Stephen Dawson
    9 Trinidad and Tobago FW Jason Scotland
    10 England FW Chris O'Grady
    11 England MF David Perkins
    12 England GK Ben Alnwick
    13 England FW Chris Dagnall
    14 England DF Scott Wiseman
    15 Scotland DF Jim McNulty
    16 England FW Dale Jennings
    17 England MF Paul Digby
    18 England DF Andrai Jones
    19 Poland MF Tomasz Cywka
    21 England MF Jacob Mellis
    22 France DF Jean-Yves M'voto
    23 Nigeria MF Kelvin Etuhu
    24 England FW Reuben Noble-Lazarus
    29 Ghana FW John Cofie
    30 Wales GK Christian Dibble
    32 England FW Danny Rose
    Northern Ireland MF Paddy McCourt

    Whats Flicker going to do with this lot? Way too many to fit them all in one squad. Some are going to be very disappointed for a lot of the season, especially if we bring Dicker in too.

    My guess is Cofie, Hassell, RNL and Rose won't get a look in, Cywka and McNulty won't play much and Dawson will leave in January

    Perhaps

    We're bringing players into the club prior to moving others out? Just guesswork on my part.

    That's all I can think of too. I make that 28 that have made an appearance for us (plus the two we've just signed) and that seems way too big.

    Some of them are development players but even then it does look big so I imagine some will be leaving either on loan or permanently.

    Re: Perhaps

    Maybe Mellis is going..? the reason for his 60 min game time.. an offer too good to turn down ?..who knows. Are we getting the replacement in first...McCourt, backed up by Jennings...and id love to see RNL given a chance in that role behind the strikers. All 3 I think could do a excellent job in attacking centre-mid...

    I don't think that's too big a squad considering that some of them are out on loan anyway (Jones and Clarke), several others are development/U21 players who have been given a squad number, and I reckon they'll be trying to find the likes of McNulty a new club, wouldn't surprise me if a senior midfielder such as Dawson ended up leaving as well.

    So that's where all the English footballers are hiding. Heard a figure of only 33% English (75 players) played in the opening weekend's Premier League fixtures.
