The link below shows the approximate quality and quantity of the top football squads Worldwide. It will become a lot clearer on 1st of September when players have been loaned out and the window closes. There are 6 players on our list who won’t be there then (not sure who some of them are!) and 4 additions (3 academy and Cuc) to come so the final number could be around 24.
I’ve no idea what the ideal squad size is for a top club but it does reinforce the idea that we have quality over quantity. “Depth“ is subjective and you would think is a combination of the two measures.
You don’t want vast quantities of rubbish you can’t shift (see United) but you also don’t want to suffer adversely from a few injuries either.
Interested to see what posters think is an ideal squad number. I’m sure you only register a certain number anyway. I guess it’s 25 plus players under 21 so we might have a few gaps. I guess as many as 4 would be under 21 taking us to 20 leaving 5 spaces unfilled.

You can't really see it in a post mate, only comes across one way.

He's on a Arry Redknapp style 20% of all transfer income received ;) topping the pension fund up nicely.

I do feel like we are going in light even if we sign Cucurella. But I also bear in mind we have 5 subs rule this year and wonder if that's something that is being taken onto account by the club. It certainly is by Pep. It gives a lot more flexibility to give different players rest over the season and bring in more EDS players.
