Zappa 0 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) I thought it would be worthwhile to start a thread with a full list of the current squad and update it as we sign players. So here's how it looks - We should also consider the striker Kane Hemmings and midfielder Thomas Kind Bendiksen who were both training again with the first team on 4th July, so I think we can consider them both as part of the first team squad for the coming season. There's also a few under 19 players who can be turned to if need be, so assuming that we sign the 2 loan deals from Spurs we could actually have a pretty solid looking squad. Certainly not as threadbare as some people seem to think.... Edited July 6, 2011 by Zappa Update after offcially signing Ortiz 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 It looks probable that we can add the Spanish player Ortiz to that squad and we should also consider the striker Kane Hemmings and midfielder Thomas Kind Bendiksen who were both training again with the first team yesterday, so I think we can consider them both as part of the first team squad for the coming season. There's also a few under 19 players who can be turned to if need be, so assuming that we sign the 2 loan deals from Spurs we could actually have a pretty solid looking squad. Certainly not as threadbare as some people seem to think.... Hmmm, wonder who we will sign for the number 9 shirt? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

metlika 0 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 If James Beattie is here I will cry if he demands the number 9 and gets it. Also Whittaker really should think about the number 2 shirt. Fleck at number 10 is also a bit dodgy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Fleck at number 10 is also a bit dodgy. Not so sure about that because he fed some cracking passes to Jelavic and others last season but got really unlucky on them not scoring the chances. If the chances had been scored Fleck would have been praised and marked up for the assists. Personally, I think Fleck is a very, very good player and if given the chance he'll prove it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, remember seeing Fleck for us against Blackburn in Sydney and he looked very sharp. But he's been more than unlucky with injuries. Who's to say he can't do a Naismith and turn his career around. Hopefully he can stay clear of injury and get a run of games, im sure he can prove his worth. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,292 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I was under the impression that Wylde's contract ended in June 2011 too. When did he sign an extension? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) Throw Ortiz and Cuellar into that list and Id be well happy going into the season. Weiss and a another striker would be icing on the cake but the way Jelavic and Lafferty finished the season Id be ok with them starting as our frontmen. Id say the only players who havent been worth their value are Lafferty (yet), Beattie (mass error) and Edu (far too inconsistant, either absolute rank or pretty good) So lets say we get the Ortiz and Cuellar, starting XI would have to be maybe this?: ________________________McGregor_____________________ Whittaker________Bougherra________Cuellar____________Papac Naismith_________Davis_____________Ortiz_____________Wylde ___________________Jelavic________Lafferty_______________ Edited July 6, 2011 by Gribz 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
