Pre Season Thread

When its laid out in a list, you realise how much work short and long term there is to be done
I think if you add in the not travelled players because of injury/World Cup it doesn’t look as bad - you’ve got a very decent 15 to 20 players if you consider those guys.

It’s basically a mixed squad of youth and senior so you’re wading through unknown teenagers. The reality is that isn’t anything like the senior 24 man squad we’re starting the season with..

Edit: just to elaborate on this, we have 14 youth team players and 21 first team there and then of that first team group 4 are very likely sold or loaned out ( Bergvall, Moore, Solomon & Takai), so leaves 17 “real” first Trainers in that 35 man squad.

That leaves the 4 big injuries and 6 other first teamers given time off for the World Cup.

I also looked at it first time and thought WTF but when you look at the breakdown it ain’t that bad…

Yeah, I noticed Bergvall getting on the plane.
So despite us fielding bids for him, it appears we aren't expecting one soon that hits our required sale price.
Also forgot ,Yang he won't be going anywhere until January as he will be playing for S Korea in some Asia comp so he will be part of the squad until January fortunately he is under 21 so wont be a problem with the PL squad list.
