McGoldrick, Bielik and Knight all available as things stand, and would be expecting to be in the starting lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bielik & Knight will be gone on a loan & permanent respectively which is why I left them out. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerphilly Ram Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 So after today’s rush of excitement we now have the following first team squad, right? I’ve included those we know are definitely under contract according to the announcements and retained list, leaving out the likes of Courtney Clarke (cm?), Harrison Solomon (cb?), Max Bardell (rb?) as they’re more likely to still be with the academy. GK - Wildsmith, Alfie Roberts LB - ?? CB - Chester CB - Cashin RB - Byrne CM - Bird, Thompson, Knight, Bielik CAM - Hourihane, Sibley FW - Mendez-Laing, Barkhuizen, McGoldrick, Stretton Priorities now surely have to be the defence, we need more bodies in the wide areas up front too but ideally getting Fozzy and Curtis re-signed and other full back options is what I want to see the club sort next.

I'm certain Hourihane will be CM. If Knight stays he'll be AM or on the wing. Caerphilly Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 It's unusual for a club to have almost a clean sheet when looking at building a squad for the new season. So far, we appear to be going about things in exactly the right way, with some experienced players coming in on one or two year deals. It makes me feel better about the inevitable departures, or even that we might be comfortable keeping them if that's what they want. The players who remain under contract must surely be encouraged by the quality of signings too. It seems like we are in control, not the players - and that feels good. We must give credit to Wayne and particularly Liam because they told us they had a plan for player recruitment and we are watching it come to fruition. jono, LeedsCityRam, RoyMac5 and 5 others 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, a lot of ground work must have been done by WR and LR over the past few weeks. Much to feel optimistic about and to think where we were a couple of weeks ago! angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering whether if Curtis signs, we might see Cashin at FB? Can’t see Cashin and Chester being a good enough partnership in the air.
