The Squad List (2023/24 Edition)

[ChalkyWhiteIsGod]

Adeloye to Partick Thistle on loan means the squad now comprises 18 professional footballers, 16 of whom are fit. At least team selection for Saturday should be easy!

Need 6 signings by Flynns own ideal definition of a squad size he likes then.

Most of them defenders please.

[Jimmy HaveHave]

Plus at least one quality striker we're threadbare up front.

A competent League 2 striker as back up for Austin will be fine..even better if they’ve a physical presence so we can mix it up. Someone like Harry Smith would fit the bill (I’m aware he has signed elsewhere)

Hopefully the budget for the more quality players will be directed to centre half, I’d still like a physical CM too

Edwards, Kinsella, Cooper, Genesini - chuck in Tomlinson for good luck plus Marquis from Rovers.

Have you got the link to the tweet? Did he say where to?

Obviously can’t say for sure but I heard a rumour a couple days back that Crawley bid for him

[Quagmire]

Edwards, Kinsella, Cooper, Genesini - chuck in Tomlinson for good luck plus Marquis from Rovers.

I wouldn’t bother with Tomlinson, not with his injury record, we’ve got enough of that as it is.

Didn’t say where, just bemoaning that as players leave there isn’t any sign of incoming. I thought the sight of players leaving was a good one regarding that.

[Pericardinho]

I thought all contracts expired 30th June or 1st July?

Ignore me, wiki says 30th June.

I think there is also an additional payment month up til 1 August for players who haven’t got a new contract.

‘ These clauses state that if a player whose deal expires on June 30 has not secured a move elsewhere by July 31, he is paid a month's salary for that period by the club he has left.
’

I'd say that players going out would be clearing the decks for incoming.

the alternative is that something brown and smelly has hit the financial fan. But even though I think we're skint, even I think that unlikely

So take Kinsella for example. If he hangs on until 1st August and then signs a deal with us, Walsall have to pay him a month's salary and then we pick up the wages from August?

That’s how it read.
However, if it is true and as simple as that / I’d have thought making a boat load of signings August 2nd would be much more common in the lower leagues.

Plus, that would obviously mean their contracts don’t technically finish June 30th….
