Squad Size

[Rene Artois]

Having not posted for a while, I’ve just noted the nice new features available when constructing a post.

How big will this seasons squad be do you think?

I only ask as my Spanish club are limited to a squad of

25 players – 18 open age players plus 7 U23s

… as are every club in the league in which they play – which is the Primera Federación; the 3rd tier in Spanish football.

Is this a better and fairer system than the free for all that exists in England?

lol This is definitely a parody account. I’ll play along Rene, who’s your Spanish Club of choice, Barcelona, Real Madrid,, Atletico ?

[Siderite]

Do any of them play in the Spanish 3rd tier? I must have missed their spectacular implosion of so, especially since they managed to qualify for European football pretty much every season.

Rene has mentioned following Spanish football in the past WG, possibly even living there, relying on streamed or radio commentary etc. So no, it’s not a parody account, Bad Apple, etc, etc

Typical WG only reading the first two lines of a post before jumping in with a load of nonsense. You’ve been caught with your pants down again WonderBalls!

Rules are fine as long as clubs play by them!

Hopefully bigger than the non playing one.

A smaller squad supplimented by loans from higher up clubs.
At the moment we have a decent “Spine”
In goal Fitzsimmons
At the back Kouougon/Evans
Midfield Clunan/Law
Up front Whitehall

Next priority is another forward imo.

Arrr squad size ??? the squad can be as big or small as necessary it all depends on

Who controls , chooses signings?
how they are trained ,managed and instructed to play both positionaly n tactically
the players ability and mindset to perform.

So far IMO .. we are looking like a pretty average NLN bunch AT THE MOMENT ,, things may change my opinion in the next week or so but into July should be more activity.

Nothing To do with faith imo just the fact if we’re going to play 2 up top we need some back up.

Another very quiet week down at AAGP on the signings front. Maybe we’re waiting to end of July to save a months wages? Times are hard!

Did Butler get his transfer targets? Are these the guys that have already signed or are they yet to arrive?

[lesgeo]

Time will probably tell.

[Iron414]

I think the targets were those already signed. The most recent update regards signings was Lee Turnbull’s interview a week or so ago and he seemed to indicate any more signings would come from the trialists plus a few loans. With Butlers connections at Doncaster I could see us taking a few players on loan from them.

Spot on. Butler hinted that was case too. I wouldn’t disappointed if we signed our two ex youth players who wouldn’t cost a lot, along with Hunter and Rowley who both looked very good.

Rowley can play in a few different positions as is the same with Hunter. Burden can play all across the front line and Abraham looks a capable young CB which we’re going to need if we set up with 3 CB’s.

Butler maybe wants to see them a few more times to be fully sure before pulling the trigger.
