25 man squad and back up ? logan to go

[GorlestonFox]

Has anyone seen Bakayogo play? Surely NP wouldn't be getting rid of him already?

[Agent Fox]

as u know we can only have 25 players in the prem should we get there 

 

i think nigel would be looking at 2 keepers 

 

2 for each position and 3 utility men 

 

now for me should kasper stay i really dont think logan is a decent number 2 and we should look to bring in another keeper

 

also im worried about konch  i think maybe he will be back up for schlupp who can also play lm or lw or st   bakayogo to go 

 

rb tbh i think with de leat there and moore as back up we are ok 

 

cb   morgan,wassa,moore     bring in one more   and let st ledger go 

 

midfield this is a tough one  drinky and james to stay  but i think nigel should bring in a a quality hard man for cdm and a quality playmaker  this then gives him options for a 41212 should he want or to give us that bit of quality.

 

james ,drinkwater and king to stay and sign 2 more   danns,gallagher and hammond to go 

 

wings    dyer,knockeart and mahrez  and bring in one more for the left 

 

strikers personally i would only keep vardy and nugent  let waghorn,wood and taylor fletcher go 

 

 

so for me i would sell or release 

logan

bakayogo

st ledger

danns

gallagher

hammond

waghorn

wood NO

taylor fletcher  NO

 

that gives us still a core team of 15 players 

kasper

de leat/ cover moore

morgan,wassa,moore

schlupp/konch

drinkwater/james/king

knockeart/mahrez

dyer  cover schlupp 

vardy/nugent    cover schlupp 

 

so nigel could bring in 10 players    and not affect the main squad 

 

id like to see a hard man style cdm and a playmaker with another fast striker and a target man 

 

your thoughts 

[Kitchandro]

Hammond should go but not Wood.

[bluesbrothers]

I don't get the circlejerk about Logan not being good enough. Frankly, we've barely seen him, and he's hardly looked incompetent when we have done. I don't see why we need to shell out on a new keeper when he's happy to be here. It'd be a waste of money if Kasper stays.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

I doubt there is any PL player who can occupy the bench as well as Logan...

Is it true he had to have surgery to separate him from the bench?   

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Your allowed as many players as you want under the age of 21.

 

They must be under the age of 21 before the 1st January that season.

 

Therefore Moore and Schlupp would not be eligible but future signings may be

 

As I understand it, it's 1st January the year of the start of the season, so players born on or since 1st Jan 1993 will not count towards our 25 man squad. That's basically Moore, Hopper and Cain, plus other potential youth players who make the step up.

I genuinely think there will be very few changes and additions. If you are looking for an exciting summer of City bringing-in a whole host of top players for monopoly money, forget it IMO.

There will be one or two in key positions I reckon, and it will be interesting what transfer fees are paid. But the Pearson way is gradual, don't change an awful lot, keep the solidarity. I also think he's pretty loyal to those loyal to him.

Conrad is quite a popular character at the club, apparently has a good sense of humour and has been happy to bench-sit. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he is retained as the number 2.

I've seen him a couple of times and to be perfectly honest, he didn't look great... He's 4th choice left-back for Leicester, behind Konchesky, Schlupp and Miquel. I hate to sound harsh but DeLaet, Moore and Dyer are all more likely to start at LB than Bakayogo.

i just dont get it though ? 

 

Logan has been at the club now since 2001 and in that time the following managers have come and gone 

 

dave bassett 

micky adams 

craig levein

rob kelly

megson

holloway

pearson 1st time 

sousa

sven

pearson 2nd time 

 

and everyone of those has decided to go with another keeper ,if it was me i would want to leave before i am to old to even have a career .

 

all those managers must have rung alarm bells , maybe hes just about the money 

[Finn Claw II]

Hull have bought 11 or 12 players this season (I think a couple were already on loan) and most people think they have focused on quality.  10 players is certainly possible.

 

That said I think it is about quality down the spine and a new left back.  My guess is NP will be shopping abroad with a few players with proven Premiership quality.  I'd like Holtby, Cresswell, Caulker, Zaha (loan) and maybe Parker though - all are realistic

[suffolk fox]

Can't get rid of Logan? Who would wash the kit?

[Mike the Metal Ed]

I could see Logan staying here for his entire career at this point. Perhaps he won't even be registered for next season and he'd only be eligible for cup games.

Darren Fletcher of Man Utd, 30 years old, hardly played in last eighteen months, but real quality and experience. Rumours about that Man U will let him go at the end of the season.

Hes hardly played because hes had bowl disease. I doubt man u will let him go as he is a good player and just starting to come back.

and its wank replies like that that other fans come on this forum and think were a bunch of bell ends 

 

if you have nothing to add or find it to hard to comprehend a reply with some actual substance then dont even bother replying mate. 

 

am seeing this a lot lately on posts genuine fans that wants to start a thread with thoughts of other genuine fans get spoiled by idiots 

 

i suggest you hurry up and turn your computer off mate before mummy catches you as it school tomorrow 

 

I empathise.  Maybe the profile of members on the forum is changing for the worse in recent weeks.

 

And re the squad for next season?  I think NP will keep all of the active squad and add up to 6 new players to add depth and quality in the areas contributors have highlighted above.  As far as transfer fees are concerned, I believe NP will continue to look for bargain buys of good quality but might splash a large fee on one or two players (most likely for a goal scorer).  He will want to be careful of bringing in players who will demand a significantly higher salary than the rest so as to reduce the risk of unrest in the squad.
