It's actually something to consider. We have a large group of players who qualified as U21s (and therefore did not need to be registered in the squad) this past season who no longer receive that waiver: Reed, McQueen, Hojbjerg and Targett, plus Gallagher if he returns. McQueen, Hojbjerg or Targett will presumably be around the squad, but Reed is a very likely loan-out if we don't have a regular place for him, as is Gallagher. Still not going to be under the greatest of roster pressure...imagine the likes of Reed/Gallagher would have decisions made regardless, and we're going to shed some peripheral players along the way.
I don't find how much we spend the problem, it is more when there is a clear deficiency in the squad and we don't strengthen which is frustrating like strikers and last summer!
Monk (ITK) from Saintsweb. Iheanacho has left his training camp to have a UK medical. Wonder where. Now we have seen West Ham but why would be give a hint like that? Just seen that the Iheanacho move to West Ham was from a fake account!
Trouble is, pace is the one thing you can't teach. You can improve everywhere else so that pace becomes less important - but not really for a full back.
What is it with injuries this season. We used to laugh at clubs with bad injury records, but recently every tweak or splinter has resulted in a long lay off. Perhaps all our birds have come home to roost at once.
