Splendid Rush 0 Posted July 28, 2011 I may have made a glaring omission, but who do we think will be filling the additional place in Lambert''s squad? (numbers just for counting purposes, do not denote shirt numbers)1. Ruddy2. Rudd3. Drury4. Tierney5. Martin R6. Naughton7. Whitbread8. Ward9. Barnett10. De Laet11. Crofts12. Fox13. Hoolahan14.

CanaryJames 0 Posted July 28, 2011 Rudd''s under-21, so two spaces.Despite what Lambert said on Monday, I''d be amazed if one was not a goalkeeper.I can also see Lansbury/Pacheco joining, although neither will need to be registered.One space left for January then!

Mister Chops 7 Posted July 28, 2011 Maybe Delia can go on the pitch at half time against Stoke City and announce that "we need a 25th man out here...." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted July 28, 2011 It''s nothing to do with ''spaces for January''If a squad has 25 players it MUST submit a squad of at least 25 players. Therefore, two of Hughes, Smith, Cody and whoever else must be included.The squad is then resubmitted after January to allow for changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DDD In The Fine City 1 Posted July 28, 2011 Wrong, The squad must have at least 15 players not 25 so spaces can be left empty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanaryJames 0 Posted July 28, 2011 No, it really doesn''t.As many have pointed out, you are under no obligation to name 25, as Arsenal/etc have demonstrated, I believe you must name a minimum of 15 players though, which we obviously will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Splendid Rush 0 Posted July 29, 2011 I would be amazed if Lambert submitted fewer than 25 names, seems pointless.So, do we think that the 2 spaces left in the 25 will go to new signings (Lansbury/Pacheco?) or squad fillers (S Smith/O Johnson/McDonald etc?)
