We've got Barden until then too. I see from Mr Google that he had testicular cancer last year.

It is a miracle we have won any games with such a thin forward line....

Finally have the squad below 30 players Lawson? I had to check the OS to find out who he is! And, incidentally, Wanjau-Smith is a 'forward' according to the OS - so our attack is even thinner than farawaystone thinks...

Sure I read somewhere that he was brought in to cover for Luque. That worked well then. We have four keepers, when two ought to be enough. We have nine defenders. Six enough? Ten midfielders. Six? Six forwards. Three?
29 players instead of 17 (and then rely of getting loans, which we do anyway) With 12 fewer sets of wages to pay, you'd think we could then afford a bit of quality.

17 players would be fine if we didn't have around 6 or 7 players injured at any point in time.

My point is that Hak has proved able to get players on loan pretty quickly, so a core of say 18 players is all we should need. Add on 4-6 for our present situation still means we have 4-6 too many players on our books, which given our budget, doesn't make sense to me.

And there is always the academy who may be called upon to cover bench warming slots and occasional run outs. Otherwise what is the point of them?

As far as I recall, Adarkwa and Al-Hussaini each played a single game, in the Kent Senior Cup no less. Unless their parent clubs paid their entire wages to get them in and around first team football, what a complete and utter waste of time and money on our part...

Updated to reflect Mensah being released, Adarkwa / Al-Hussaini's loans ending and a vague update on players who may be injured or currently missing. Anyone / anything I've missed?
Gurung has been around the stadium on match days so I assume he's injured or out of favour. Would love to see him go out on loan to a National South club if he's fit.

So Mensah wasn't as intelligent as we hoped, the Aardvark was snout to get excited about an Al whosainni was just a passing camel shagger who we felt sorry for. No wonder we are 22nd in the league
