The bit about punishment for swearing at dinner made me chuckle.

The bit about punishment for swearing at dinner made me chuckle.

I was wondering who it was - there aren't that many senior players left and I am sure they are chuffed Chris Williams put it out there

I don’t think all keepers are out there, it says Eastwood join them today, so not sure where he has been. James is Definitely with the u23 squad. It does say a couple of trialists are out in Ireland as well. I think we will get 2 strikers (one on loan) 2 wingers (one on loan) a defensive minded midfielder. And maybe a couple more who are on the verge of u23/ first team.

If that's the case then I'll be happy!

Based on pictures and the diaries on the website. Those in Ireland are now:
GKs: Eastwood, Shearer, Stevens
Def: McMahon, Garbutt, Long, Nelson, Dickie, Raglan, Mousinho, Carroll, Norman
Mid/Attack: Ruffels, Brannagan, Henry, Carruthers, Little, Napa, Hall, Baptiste, Obika
Plus 2 triallists. Which makes 23. So either there's a typo on the website or one of the above isn't there.

Eastwood and GArbett flying out today.

Good to see 4/5 of the youngsters out there - STevens, Long, Carroll, Napa, Little, Baptiste.

Be interesting to know how many are down with the U23s at Lilleshall -

Eastwood and GArbett flying out today.

Garbutt is already there, arrived yesterday.

 

[Craig]

9/10 according to the report today

I didn’t look too closely, but it looked like 11 to be in the picture on Twitter (9 in ice baths and 2 in the background pretending to be busy).

Yep fair play ? But does that hint that when the winger and striker come in on loan, that will be business done and dusted for us? Decent sized squad of around 25..

 

[ZeroTheHero]

We cant go through a whole season with 1 main striker and Obika.

We did last year ;p

A good point, well made.

With the first team squad looking like this? 17 players
We'll see another 6 in to get to the KR target figure of 23.

Where do you get 25 from???? Stevens, Baptiste, Little, Carroll will not feature for the first team squad. We need a squad, where any player can fit into the first 11. I don't see Carroll in that mould any more, but give him the benefit of the doubt. We need two strikers and a winger amongst others. Even then with three strikers, if one of the new ones gets injured, its straight down to the bare bones straight away. Permanent signings too, I feel, as the loans are mounting up all ready, so early in pre-season.

Ok fair enough re: Stevens and Baptiste but I’d be very surprised if Carrolls not involved with the first team. Why would he not after being involved last season? And it’s already been mentioned in a couple of OUFC interviews that Little will be looking to get involved with the first team very soon.

 

[werthersoriginal]

WE do need two more strikers, if we only sign one a youth team guy has got to make big step up

 

[Leysboy]

Could this guy be our man??

I reckon it could be this kid. Just a guess!

I’m no Spurs expert...but isn’t that Josh Onomah - who is on the fringes of their first team? I can’t see anyway he’s playing L1 football next year?
