this is how our current squad looks (positions as shown on the offal)

goal keepers
areola
rodak
fabricio

defenders
tete
hecter
odoi
ream
mlm
bryan
robinson
aina
Anderson
Tosin

midfielders
mcdonald
kebano
stef jo
cairney
lemina
knockeart
reed
seri
onomah
Anguissa
Lookman

Forwards
Mitro
kamara
cavaleiro
bobby reid

thats exactly 25, but we know kmac can leave on a free, and presume stef jo and seri will also leave.
but we also believe kongolo marlon and possibly lookman will be joining. now my point is do we abandon the 2 players for every position or will we let the squad be lopsided with extra defenders in it. do we think we will register all 3 keepers or possibly see one of rodak por fabricio leave in this window. whats everyones thoughts on the 25 to be registered

The 25 man squad could be down to 19, without additions.

Surprising to see Ream & MLM down as possible leavers I must admit.
Also a bit sad to see no serious challengers from youngsters who could have added to the match day 25

Youth players don't count towards the 25 man total, so we could use Jasper, Carvalho, Stansfield for example without including them

Agree - but my point is that we do not have any youngsters who are serious challengers for a starting spot, particularly now both Sessignons have left (admittedly one only for a seasons loan).

Sting of the North

Kmac hasn't left yet.

No way that Ream leaves. Possibly MLM if we bring in new players.

I believe that Johansen, Kmac, Seri and Fabri are likely to be off the list, come the close of the window. Possibly also MLM. That's 4-5 spots.

Marlon, Luis + 1 forward and we have still 1-2 spots left. Kongolo or another CB can possibly be one, but in that case I believe MLM may be left out if we are looking at further additions.


General

Marlon, a LCB, Luis, Babel (I'm aware he's signed a new contract, but he went on loan to Ajax second half of last season and I think the contract could just be both Galatasary and Babel strengthening their own positions)...

I'd still like to see us go for Hinteregger (even though I know his dad says it's up to him and unlikely) and Ikone.

I'd also like to keep Seri as a squad player. I think on a proper foundation (defence and midfield) he could still be one of our most potent attacking midfield players. Either him or Lemina.

we just aren't going to have more than  four center backs and odoi as Cover in a 25 man squad. It just won't happen.  So one coming in means one going out

StefJo and KMac are both up for sale (KMac on a free). Fabri's surplus to requirements. Seri wants out. MLM could go if we pick up 2 more CBs.

I can see us adding up to 5 players before the deadline. Marlon, Kongolo, Luis and Lookman are all heavily linked.

Updated this now. We now have 28 with one more possibly coming. That's 4 players not getting a squad number.

Just Googled it and the threshold is 21 so no, too old unfortunately

Being greedy, I hope we still sign some players from the championship for our forward line.
