2017/18 Squad Numbers

[Nelson Lodge]

Noticed that numbers 12 and 18 have not been used in the published list.

Who else to go?

Think Hutton will start as first choice RB, but would expect him to be phased out as the season progresses.
Afraid we could be stuck with Richards until the end of his contract in 2019.

Elphick and Gardner should go this window if not injured.
Fingers crossed re GateMac that someone is daft or desperate enough to take him on.

De Laet and Adomah can be considered surplus to requirements as many can cover RB, and the signing of Elmohamady. Plus De Laet & Adomah are not SB's signings.
Bacuna - we have more than enough MFs + not an SB signing, so presume Thor would take preference over Bacuna.
Bunn - puzzled that he is still here.
Lyden - injury prone; needs to go out on loan at the very least.

Amavi could still be sold, in which case a left sided replacement needed.

Yoko has 18, so that's just 12 up for grabs
