kris1984 1,290 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 With Warburton suggesting a squad size of around 15 or so does anyone else feel the squad might be a tad too large at the momentI've tried to list the squad below and the positions they can play. I reckon - not including GK - we have about 24 bodies. This is also assuming we sign Eustace, Holt and Allan/Winks.Wallace LBHalliday LB, LW, DMThompson LB, DMWilson CBKiernan CB, DMMcGregor CB, RBZaliukas CBTavernier RBSinnamon RBGasporotto CBEustace DMMurdoch DM, CMHolt CM, AMLaw CM, RWShiels CM, AMAllan/Winks CMMcKay RW, CFWaghorn RW, CFWalsh LW, RWTempleton LW, RWGallagher RW, CFMiller CFClark CFHardie CFLB 3CB 5RB 3DM 5CM 5RW 6LW 3CF 6Who should we get rid of? It seems to me we have too many defenders and probably too many strikers that aren't the required standard either Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzalivesforever 1,990 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Squad size of 15? You nuts? He's stated on more than one occasion he wants 22-24 bodies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulReid 184 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 He said he wanted about 24 not 15. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy 73 31 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Allan , winks and eustice haven't been signed yet, gasparatto wont get a game, mckay will be found out soon enough, sinnamin, fringe at best , shiels, bitpart at best ,,,, and so on, your squad is very light now Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulReid 184 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Your right on the strikers tho. If we play 433 and there is only room for one striker we don't need 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he said he would only really use about 15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertz90 7 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Number of these are fringe players but think couple could go if any takers. Gasparrato should be loaned out if zaliukas stays. Would be good if Miller went but he is probably on too much money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 15 players in a first team squad that's a novel idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamMunny 3,252 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm sure he suggested 24... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AljayBoy 2,324 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 15 isn't enough for a starting 11 plus subs...Anyway, I'm glad W&W are giving the remaining players from last year a look over, but i doubt he'll believe they'll all be of an acceptable standard, so some of those you mentioned will probably be farmed out on loan and then released.

ThatNightInFlorence 696 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 A squad size of 15!? Fuck me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneDavidCooper 2,505 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Templeton, Aird, Law and Shiels should all be released / sold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
now then forever 298 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I think the squad size is ok just now. However, I'd like us to bring in another 4 or 5 players, and I'd ideally like to sell/release 4 or 5. I don't see Zaliukas, Shiels, or Clark being good enough or fitting in to the current team, I think we've got better options in each position. Templeton I'm not sure about. Eustace and Holt look like signing. Hopefully, Allan, a wide player and possibly a striker will follow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozblue 4,331 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 15 players in a first team squad that's a novel idea. Not really! It's been done before and in one of the toughest leagues in the world with 42 League games played that season. In season 1963-64 they used 14 outfield players in the entire season and won their national title.Any idea who did it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
