Thats a week squad with hopefully lots of wiggle room to pad it out, i'm not clued up enough anymore to know who we bring in but if we can supplement some solid pros with Ahora, kolli etc
I'd be interested to see who comes in for those sold players! But it would give us some capital to spend!!
So by your calculations we'd need:
A new No1
2 RB
1 CB
1/2 CM's
2 Wingers/wide forwards
2 Strikers |

Just to add to the debate, Alfie Lloyd is also the same age as Sinclair and is currently not even close to making the step up; Pedder is 22(i think)
Development is different for everyone, some like Walcott burst through at a young age, others like Dieng was a lot older when he made his bow for us. Its not a one size situation and some of our players will naturally find their level further down.
I've not seen enough of him to really give an educated opinion just echo what a few others have said that, this probably isn't the season to judge him and a summer of proper coaching possibly followed by a loan would be a great opportunity to hone/showcase his talents in hopefully an Eze/Chair type situation. That is if we can find him the right loan and get a forward in ourselves!! |

A shame with EDB as from the little i saw he was an upgrade on what we had, admittedly not as good as Hayden but something to work on. |

I was at the NI game in that tournament and traveled to the WC to watch our game with the USA. Was at the Croatia game in Split when we we were applauded back into town by their fans.
Admittedly, at the WC we didn't do ourselves justice and I think Page felt he had to play Bale/Rambo and Allen even thought none were fit enough but we have the emergence of a new young team born from the fruits of 2016 and JJ has been a monster - Poland are no mugs though and tuesday will be tough!
Thank you SK |

Sorrry im going to bite and i dont mean any personal offence.
I personally would love us to qualify for the Euro's as a small nation their is always a point. It brings money into the FAW and allows us to invest and keep developing as a nation. We have a passionate and loyal fanbase(like QPR) that deserve to have nice things and qualify for tournaments and get to experience tournament football.
By your logic why would anyone support a small/medium sized club, say a QPR, its all about the experiences and happy days in the sunshine with your mates and watching your country do well. |

This is where our academy needs to start producing. It's a topic done to death(i'm aware) but if the first team has a competitive mix of youth, senior pros and some up and coming lower league players you have a great balance and will ultimately reduce your payroll.
Possibly changing the structure of the players contracts could help as well - a bit FM/CM but weighting the contracts more to appearances/goals/assists/clean sheets.
I'm hoping our fresh new CEO is doing a root and branch study of the club and the behind the scenes is identifying ways to streamline and structure us better off the pitch. As Clive has said on countless occasions we are behind the curve on the money we can generate from sponsorship, see Stoke/BET365 for example.
Also, if we have a smaller 1st team we supplement it with the best young Pros coming through from the youth team. |

Hopefully a couple of mill in this for us; if you are right and clubs are interested. |

Agree with some of the comments above; Walsh, Mahoney and Salamon(i like) seem to be destined for a decent future as long as their development is well structured - something we have struggled on in the past.
The key will be to find a decent experienced pro who can come in and keep the seat warm and play to Marti's style. Hoping that the new CEO and the data team can pick out a gem without going down the busted flush route of someone everyone has heard of. |

It seams from what Clive implied is that they had players ready to come in once Kakay etc was shifted, maybe one was a full back that had some potential. Hopefully these could be revisited once we know what league we will be playing in next season, or even given the extra time other prospects could be identified. |

Really difficult to tell on that one game. One thing is for sure the step up from this level to the first team is huge. It looked like it was a training game.
Goalie as everyone has said has something about him, could really do with some lower league loans
Back four, the two center halves looked composed and decent, the LB overlapped nicely and contributed to play. I think the right back was the one who blocked the shot on the line?
Midfield, I thought both CM's looked good on the ball and had a few tricks in them, the one that didn't score had a decent range of passing. Anthony coming on though really changed the game, really impressed with him.
Pedder and Jeche, Pedder looked tidy and great in the build up to the 2nd goal but looks lightweight. Jeche not really involved sadly - a few runs from deep in the 1st half but nothing really to judge him on.
On the flip side i thought Cian Ashford for CCFC was the best player for Cardiff |

I'd love to see him get the move he deserves and the financial windfall that would enable us to invest in our future but I would also like very much for him to go somewhere he can flourish and MU is a rotting cesspit of a place. |
