Our Squad

We submitted a 23 man squad in the end.

Everton submitted an 18 man squad. And Liverpool only 19. Though most of those look quality first teamers.

Is there anywhere you can bet on McFadden's next club? 'Cos this one is nailed one.

Edit: no reports or anything, it's just so clear we'll sign him.

I heard Wolves are looking at him. He won't be fit for another four weeks.

Average squad, with mid-table aspirations, the danger is that AM loses grip of it and we spiral into a relegation dog fight, then when you asses how may players there are either past it, or hand me downs or to young and inexperienced or just don't fancy it or can't be arsed like Ireland and you have the making of a real problem, that is when the quality of the squad kicks in.

For me AM should go all out for the League Cup, he knows how to win it and its a good opportunity IMO.

Last season we had several average players, several good players and three very good players (Bent, Young and Downing whether you like the last two or not). After a very bumpy ride, with some of the good and very good under performing, we finished 9th.

This season, we still have several average players, several good players, but only one very good player (Bent). How and where the season goes will have to depend on whether the manager can make the average and good players raise their games, and if the very good one can see a future with us.

Signing McFadden will surely just be the death knell for the Fonz here?
