I know we have said we need another striker and have one on trial at the moment, But can we afford to keep our squad at the the level we have had it now for so long, At the present time we have 30 players plus 3 out on loan, plus Ned still being paid, Should we not be a bit more prudent and trim the squad down before we add more to tha wages bill.Even allowing for the ones that are long term injured, we still have a big squad.

Sorry was thinking about Zaaboub, I have strikers on the brain, but what ever the position I do think we should be trimming the squad down a bit by now.
 
Re: Squad

I'm sure Simmo is looking to get a few out either permanently or on loan , but if the players are contracted we can't just sack them or lay them off . This is one of the downsides of us backing BD in the transfer market over the last 2 years .
 
Re: Squad

Like to see everybody fit first.

Of the 31 pro's three are on loan, 4 if Hinchcliffe is still at Kendal. And Mawene , Ormerod, Nowland, Smith, Davidson, Mellor, and maybe O'Niel arn't match fit. That leaves 20. Beattie and Parillon are "ones ffor the future" and probably only on small wages. So 18, and with Jarrett out of favour 17 to pick from.

Although i'm sure the Chairman agrees with you.

Hopefully, the leach resigns soon and pisses off to Derby like the others.
I wonder if he'd have the balls to ask Deadly if he can apply for the Leeds job? That would be pretty funny, I think.
 
Re: Squad

aye the squad is far too big the wage bill must be way too high. 6 strikers is too many, a couple will have to go, maybe Nuge in the January slot and Smith. Jarrett must be off loaded as it seems he is out of favour, maybe O'Neil, McCormack and Stock are the likely ones for Simmo to offload
