The only trouble is Slade said we only need a small squad, if he is bringing in players, obviously, some will have to leave. Igor gone, JBG will go after Euro's, still leaves too many, so more have to go.
He said 22-25 players which I think is about right as long as players are kept fit (we didn't do a good job of that last season) and you make the right type of signings (again we didn't do that last season).
As a comparison we used 28 in league games when we won League One. That includes several players that appeared in a small number of games. If some had signed at the start of the season it could have been more like 24/25.
Would like to keep Harriott, certainly don't want him going to a promotion rival.
Harriott did nothing last season when he got his chance to suggest we should offer him a new deal
For once I fully agree. King of the step over, no substance, consistently inconsistent.
Except all those goals and assists in league 1 ie the division we're in now.
For the record I would keep him for the squad, but performing at Colchester is not performing in front of our fans at The Valley which he has always struggled with over a long period.
Seeing as there will barely be any fans at the valley - that issue may go away....
Shame as when he hits form he is more than useful, however this may mean we intend to keep Lookman and play him wide ( until a half decent offer comes in).

If Cousins goes to Brum that underlines (if it needed it) how badly the idiots have run this club. Birmingham have struggled on and off the pitch for years, although they markedly improved last term, to sell one of our prized assets to them is just great. Thanks dumb and dumber.
Cousins and Harriott are good friends, and good guys whenever I've met them. What happens to one will influence the other. I would like to see both stay.
Cousins don't see himself in div one which as nothing to do with lack of amibition that the players wishes .... It's getting best deal for him , I know Brighton were put off by our asking price and have not made any offer for him , Birmingham says it all we pipped them for Nicky Ajose so who has no ambition ??
Look at the past 2 1/2 years for the stupid ambition comment you made.

Well I notice Ajose hasn't put pen to paper yet. Let's not count our chickens and all that.

Do they not get injuries in division 3?
They (Brum) take Jordan and Morgan and give us David and £3 million. Job done.

Saves on wages.
He's had his entire football career at Charlton and I doubt if his salary is massive.
He might well see a move to a club challanging in a division higher as the next step and no doubt will get a salary hike into the bargain.
Once a player looks to leave there is not much the club can do to stop it.
I don't want him to leave either but if he does then I'd say thanks for all your effort in very difficult circumstances and good luck.
Careers are short.
I am refusing to give you a lol as you have too many!!
Own up.
