The Simple Fact - our 25

Now that Gunnerson has signed and if we get Grujic in for a fee or loan- we will have only 2 spaces left for our 25. Warnock says he wants 2 more in - hopefully a top midfielder and a striker. Then our 25 is complete. That means there will defo be no place for Tomlin or Pilkington. if we don’t get 2 more then these could stay

things can still change and people leave

For me we need to spend our remaining budget on a creative midfielder....

wow...just wow

Have I been in a coma ??
When did the club sign Danny Simpson, Robert Snodgrass and Abel Hernandez ???
The thread was " The simple fact- our 25"
The simple fact is, none of those three players will be signing.

Abel Hernandez, Danny Simpson and Snodgrass?

They went that far under the radar in signing not even Warnock and the rest of the squad knew!

I'm still surprised Connolly got a new deal, I just don't see how he makes the 25

20)Mendez-Laing
21)Zohore
22)Madine
23)Ward
24) Striker on loan
25th player will either be another permanent signing or possibly Pilkington or Tomlin.
Really hoping for another permanent signing. Ryan Woods would just be the icing on the cake.

Ignoring that some of those players aren't ours, there's no way we will only pick 2 goalkeepers

I think both joe ralls and Kadeem Harris won't be counted in the 25 as they qualify under the home grown players rule which will give us more scope.

no....you have to have ,i think its a minimum of 8 home grown players in your squad of 25...home grown being players that have come from English / Welsh academies.

I don't see any quota about number of players.

I'm sure the club know the rules and will follow them ralls and Harris have been with us since 2010/11 and at 21 were well within the rules but hey ho what do I know.

under 21s dont count in the 25...but home grown at present { you must include 8 } means being on the books of ...any.. English team for 3 whole years prior to their 21st birthday...they can even be foreign nationals..pogba, fabregas.lukaku plus many others qualify as home grown.
