Re: this 25 man squad lark. Our squad list was stated at the beginning of the season to be:
1 - Joe Hart
2 - Shay Given
3 - Stuart Taylor
4 - Vincent Kompany
5 - Kolo Tooure
6 - Joleon Lescott
7 - Micah Richards
8 - Pablo Zabaleta
9 - Jerome Boateng
10 - Aleksandar Kolarov
11 - Wayne Bridge
12 - Shaleum Logan
13 - Nigel de Jong
14 - Gareth Barry
15 - Yaya Toure
16 - Patrick Vieira
17 - Michael Johnson
18 - James Milner
19 - Shaun Wright-Phillips
20 - Adam Johnson
21 - David Silva
22 - Jo
23 - Roque Santa Cruz
24 - Emmanuel Adebayor
25 - Carlos Tevez
We didn't need to register Balo, Boyata, Guidetti, Nimley, etc because are all under 21. Assulin would also fall into this category as he's only 19.
From that list, we've now got rid of Bridge and Santa Cruz, and added Dzeko - meaning we already have a place free in our revised squad before we get rid of Ade and SWP. With those two gone, we'd have three places free in the squad.
Surely we can't be thinking of bringing three more players in - I would have thought one at the most - in which case it would appear that we have plenty of space in the 25 as it is.
