im not joking here when i say we dont have a big squad now........ yes we have quality but if we get some injuries we might have a problem or two?
I think we should have got a couple of more in maybe on loan because there is none of the kids i would trust in a big game!!

well we'll have to go on with it won't we? A lot of our players can play 2 or 3 different positions so we'll have some cover.

If you don't blood the odd player if you somehow have 15 first team injuries, when will you ever?

What happened.........?

 

[Markie07]

With soccer am? he just made little snide remarks, he is young and felt a little pushed out i think, he would be cool in the fa team or carling cup team or as back up.

He basically slated Mancini and blamed him for Lescott not going to World Cup!

I feel we have a strong enough squad to be competitive on all fronts.I hope Mancini uses the opportunity to give sone of the younger players chance to be around the first team,get on the bench or even sone Carling Cup football, the likes of Rekic,Razak,Suarez,Bunn,Roman and Assulin would all gain vital experience given the chance to impress

WAYNE BRIDGE and NEDUM ONUOHA may be included in the 25 man squad as there is room and they have not been sold but i can't see how it would improve the squad.

Wouldn't have been my choice and I'd gladly have said "goodbye", however, as I said, players under the age of 21 are eligible even if not in the 25-man squad. We don't have 25 players over the age of 21, so we're as well including him.

 

[Joga Bonito]

What about the Champions League, do we need 4 home-grown club players or something?

 

[Juddaman83]

4 Club Grown & 4 Home Grown as opposed to 8 Home Grown.

Richards and Hart are the only club grown so CL squad will only be 23 plus Ned

Hart isn't. Richards and Ned (depending on what Bobby does with him).
