Not many of those are what you'd call key players though.

Based on how they've been used recently, you could probably say it's a 50:50 split:
Key
Jordan Storey
Patrick Bauer
Andrew Hughes
Tom Barkhuizen
Brad Potts
Scott Sinclair
Not key
Matthew Hudson
Connor Ripley
Paul Huntington
Joe Rafferty
Jack Baxter
Ethan Walker

Fair lists. However, I'd suggest that of the 6 key players, very few of them will be being actively sought after by other clubs. Therefore, giving us ample time and opportunity to sort the contracts out.
Well Ripley never has been and neither has Rafferty though to be fair he has at times been useful. Huntington of course has been massive and might yet have one last season where he is at least still useful. As for Hudson, Baxter and Walker well we will just have to wait and see.
He has joined them, until he falls apart.
Silly sausage . Look how that's panned out.

I didn’t know he was called Billy Sausage?🤔
OP
He’s not signed a pro contract yet has he?
No, not yet but he has been assigned a squad number of 17.
It's a toss of a coin view I guess.
OP
It breaks the official squad list rules… but he’s added! 🤣
So now the transfer window is closed, we now know the squad we have until January, i make it 29 players, 4 of which wont be registered in the 25 man squad, id guess at Ripley, Huntington, Brown and Thomas being the ones to miss out which means paying wages for 4 players who can only play in reserve games, we really needed to get rid of some of the fringe players even if it meant loaning them out for minimal wage contributions

We have the makings of a good team here now, confident taking on other Championship sides. Personally I can't wait to see the new lads in action. Hope crowds get behind them and give support.
Does anyone know what numbers they have been given?

One will probably take 21, presumably McCann, and the next one after that is 39, then 41, 42, 43...

Our squad is so big we'll have to start using the Greek alphabet, like with covid variants.
It's good that a couple of signings which sound decent have come in under the radar when the vibes were that nothing would happen.
Our transfer dealings in the last 3/4 seasons have been mixed and hopefully this signals a new era of better quality recruitment.
