Squad

I'd be happy with both Kulu and Elliott competing, but Maddison would definitely be the one I'd ship out.

Palhinha has already replaced Biss. Gallagher would serve now purpose now apart from being a 6th choice bench warmer. Bergvall, Bentancur and Sarr are all well ahead of him for that role.

The point is that we have too many non hg players for cl.
Who would you cut? That doesn't leave us short.

OS (17 max) - Vicario, Kinsky, Davies, Udogie, Romero, vdV, Dragusin, Porro, Palhinha, Bentancur, Sarr, Kulu, Kudus, Richy
HG (4 max) - Danso, Spence, Maddison, Johnson, (Solanke)
CT (4 max) - Archer
U21 (unlimited) - Vuskovic, Gray, Bergvall, Tel, Odobert
Leaving - Biss, Son

We're already at our maximum of 4 HG players, one has to count as OS. It's CT we're short of
 
We have 6 look @Chrissivad post. Although davies should be hg. Vuskovic is being loaned.
Romero played 26 games last season romero 22.
9 on our books though (Romero, vdv, Danso, Vuskovic, Dragusin, Takai, Davies, Philips, Dorrington).

Compared to 1 LB (Udogie).

If we sign another defender, surely it has to be a specialist LB.
 
OS (17 max) - Vicario, Kinsky, Davies, Udogie, Romero, vdV, Dragusin, Porro, Palhinha, Bentancur, Sarr, Kulu, Kudus, Richy

Tel, odobert, bergvall, gray, vuskovic haven't been at the club for 2 years.
 
Using the official website, this is where I plot each of the 32 players on the 1st team page based on UEFA definitions.....

List A - Vicario, Kinsky, Porro, Udogie, Romero, Danso, VdV, Dragusin, Vuskovic, Takai, Palhinha, Bentancur, Bissouma, Sarr, Bergval, Kulu, Kudus, Yang, Gil, Solomon, Odobert, Richy, Tel

Assoc - Spence, Davies, Gray, Maddison, Johnson, Solanke,

Club - Austin

List B - Devine, Scarlett

Apart from over age Mathew Craig, I believe all of our U21 squad on the website could be put on list B.

Based on what I see, we have 23 list A players for 17 places. However, that goes up to 25 as you can only use 4 association trained slots in a UEFA squad. So 2 would move over to List A as well. I guess we can bring it down to 24 if we exclude Maddison for first half of the season.

What is the real gap? It's obviously less as we wouldn't name Gil or Solomon. So that is down to 22 and you could then removed Takai, Yang and Vuskovic to bring it down to 19.

Even if we sold Bissouma there is still one of our senior stars who will miss out. This is before we make another signing.

Devine, scarlet, yang and vuskovic are on the loan list according to reports.
Think davies would be left out. Maybe kinky? Sell bissouma and maybe bentancur. Bring in others?
It's juggling.

It's CT though we need, not HG. We're above our limit of HG but not CT (we have 6 for 4 spots).

I would cut Dragusin and Maddison due to their injuries (plus obviously Son, Biss, Takai, Yang, Gil, Solomon). And then Davies and perhaps Vicario (I would give Kinsky the group phase) if we are really struggling with more new arrivals.

Is there a reason why Matthew Craig is never listed as Club Trained even though he joined our academy at 12? Only Austin seems to get mentioned

I'm not asking if we shold buy ct players. We need to cut even if we bought 3 ct players.

I'd imagine because he's never been anywhere near the first team squad (didn't travel to Asia). He's only got 10 months left on his contract and expect will leave permanently to a League 1 or 2 club in the next week or two.

Then we don't have 10 cbs do we?
 
Probably would be this season. Would he be a better option than an academy player though?
Considering he got this age and not made an impression, probably not. I was just curious if there was a technical reason, but I guess the overall reason is he’s not good enough.

He could go onto the B list, so there was no need to list him as Club Trained. He would go on that list this year if we did include him as he is now 22
No idea what's happened to him either, not seen his name mentioned during pre season.
