Regardless of whether I'm in the bin, it is true that we'll have to make tough choices.
Who should we omit from the above for Europa squad?Regardless of whether I'm in the bin, it is true that we'll have to make tough choices.
Even if we don't sign anyone else, one of these players will have to be left out of the Europa League squad. And any new signings will mean more omissions needed (unless they are club trained like KWP).
I think Forster is the obvious exclusion here, we can keep him as a league/domestic cup backup keeper and let Austin/Whiteman be the backup in Europe. Keepers are seldom injured anyway, it's very unlikely Vicario misses more than a small handful of games this season to where we need to overly worry. Frankly we haven't seen Forster play for a long while (the Fulham cup game IIRC?) and his last showing was completely dismal, I wouldn't mind seeing him take an early retirement and let the youngsters take up the mantle of 2nd GK, I scarcely see how either of them could have the same/worse reaction speed than Forster.Regardless of whether I'm in the bin, it is true that we'll have to make tough choices.

17 players can be non HG?Regardless of whether I'm in the bin, it is true that we'll have to make tough choices.

The simplified way of looking at it is this:
I think in Europe even if the player is homegrown they need to have been at your specific club for either 1 or 2 years (it escapes me) before they count as u21 and don't have to be registered.

Completely agree with this, our GK back up situation is not great either way so we may as well drop Forster.
Ok so Forster and Davies buys us one signing on top.
Yep!
I don't think we're gonna sign another defender tbh, there's been no loan move yet for Phillips or Dorrington though you would think there'd be interest, I think Ange is looking to give Spence a chance this season after a good summer in pre-season, if you look at Gray as cover for 6 and RB and don't worry too much about Spence being right footed considering our full backs work more on the inside and don't particularly need to be on their strong crossing foot, we are sort of covered in all positions in all but the worst injury crisis. I do however think we will sign another mid if Skipp does go to Leicester, it seems obvious Ange wants one with the persistent Gallagher links.
youre one of the gimps tho aint ya. of course youd be 'offended' by it. silly gimp. go put the gag in your mouth and do everyone a favour.

Please God no.......
If I’m guessing that might actually impact the transfer business we have left to do. Maybe we sign a CM and that’s all folks.
