That's 24 squad places taken.

Now that we've got Fiorini, the minimum requirement for a balanced squad would be:

Lone striker
Right back cover
Centre half

I'd expect any from the following to make way for new players:

Lavery
Madine
Virtue
One from either Stewart, Dougall or Connolly.

There are also the question marks over the quality of some of our wide players such as Lubaba, Dale and Hamilton who could all be replaced.

Still a lot of surgery needed.

All this is to fit with Appleton's apparent 4-1-4-1.

Beesley may step up and Yates could do OK in this system but if we keep our current 4 strikers Appleton's hand would be forced to play 2 up front in a 4-1-3-2.

4 at the back with 1 defensive midfielder.

The other 5 can be arranged in whatever way Appleton fancies depending on who's available.

The current squad:

GK: Grimshaw, Maxwell, S Moore

Full backs: Gabriel, Garbutt, Husband

Centre Halves: Ekpiteta, Keogh, Williams, Thorniley, Tharme

Defensive Midfielders: Connolly, Dougall, Stewart, Virtue

Advanced Midfielders: Anderson, Bowler, Carey (U21), Dale, Fiorini, Hamilton, Lubala

Strikers: Beesley, Lavery, Madine, Yates

That makes 25 players over 21 or on loan. The squad's full.

We need to either sell or loan players to make room in the squad for new arrivals.

Possible outgoings: 1 keeper and use the development 'keeper as no.3. That means Moore is the most likely.

Centre halves: We've got 5. That's 1 too many. Tharme out on loan.

Defensive midfield. Playing only 1 defensive mid would require us to have 2 on the books. For different reasons Virtue and Stewart could go.

Attacking midfield: We've got 6 plus U21 Carey. If Appleton is planning on a 4-1-4-1 we could do with one, or even 2 more. There must be question marks over Dale, Hamilton and Lubala.

Strikers: We need 3 if we're going to play a loan striker. Lavery and Madine are the most likely to leave. We need to recruit at least 1 player who's effective in the solo role.

There's plenty off leeway for outgoings. I've highligtd 9 possible players who could be sold / loaned and we need 1 right back, 1 or 2 advanced midfielders, and 1 or 2 strikers (minimum 3 players / maximum 5 players needed).

In the past the recruitment team has picked up some fine players at the end of their contracts on frees. Nothing this year.

Connolly's best position?

I'm more than happy to keep him but we were supposed to be selling Bowler and accepted an offer in January. The problem is negotiating a worthwhile price as he's only on a short contract.

Shock departures that'd bring some, but not a lot, of money in would be Anderson and Yates.

Bowler and Keshi are OOC at the end of the season.

Connolly's best position, back at Fleetwood

I'm glad you've said that about Connolly.

He doesn't quite fit anywhere.

His main attributes are his committment and grit.

I think it'd be good business if we get a good price for Anderson, I think we can do better. The only concern would be the inexperience of the other players (Fiorini, Carey, even Dale) in an advanced central midfield role. Soloution - put Connolly there .

Dale on loan and Keogh out leaving 26.

I think the whole Appleton thing can work but to have the right players for what he wants to do at a very minimum we still need a robust midfield all-rounder and a robust lone striker. Also it'd be nice to have specialist right back cover and advanced left.

Expect more outgoings.

We still need to make some space for more incomings. 2- 3 more incomings assuming no key players leavce.

any from - perhaps a keeper (Moore or Maxwell), Garbutt, Hamilton, Stewart, Virtue, and a striker (either Lavery or Madine) could depart.
