Not 100% sure but believe it does. In fairness, I don't believe the squad cap is a terrible thing. The salary cap was a bit shite, this makes more sense. I think it will be good for players like Dempsey generally, he's either got to be included or you would think most clubs will allow him to go away and develop elsewhere.Henry Irving said:

Doesn't the EPL one include goalkeepers though?Henry Irving said:PFA have challenged the squad limit as they did the salary cap
And like the salary cap the smaller league one and two clubs, as EFL members, will probably drag their feet so that it's still in place when the window shuts.
That way the bigger clubs have less of an advantage.
It's 25 in the EPL.0 -
Arsenal to Spurs, the next Sol Campbell hopefully for us!2

Hopefully following Kirk’s directions to Sparrows Lane. That’s my wish anyway.Callumcafc said:What's Josh Sims up to?15 -
Right age to be pushing on. Next 18 months will define his next five or six years.1

Do you think Sims is attacking enough to play in a 433? No expert on him but on the few occasions he's looked more like a 442 winger to me.Sage said:

But reducing it to 20 players suits teams like Accrington and not us.cafcfan1990 said:

Dempsey etc would find it harder to find a league club as others have same limit.
I can see the logic in some sort of squad limit but this seems too low and U21 too young.5 -
Fair points, yes reducing it to 20 I agree with, 22 seems about right.Henry Irving said:

Played 4-3-3 at Doncaster and by all means done very well. Capable of playing as a 10 as well but definitely more of a winger. Can play right and left wing so good option for a fluid front line. Quick, can run with the ball and take players on. Would definitely sign him up.cafcfan1990 said:

Fair enough, cheers. Didn't know enough about him, but sounds like a decent option, definitely need a third winger and sounds like he fits the bill.Sage said:

Could be very exciting part of a rotating three behind Stockley. Unfortunately I think he’s likely to end up with Darren Moore at Chef Wendy…Sage said:

Kirk - left wing or no.10
DJ - right wing or left wing
Sims - left wing, ring wing or no. 10
Not forgetting Albie or Gilbey’s part to play in that no.10 role either.0 -
The only problem I would have with him is he hasn’t played many games for the age he is now at. He needs to choose his next team wisely and needs a good season of regularly being involved, which if he signed I think he would be as he could come on for either DJ or Kirk. Or if we needed to be even more attacking, could come in and have all 3 behind Stockley. Doubling and tripling up on either wing with full backs pushing on.cafcfan1990 said:

Totally agree with this. Would give us good options but not sure how likely we’d be to get him especially with Solomon Otabor training with us.Sage said:

I wonder with the Inniss and Famewo concerns we could go with 5 CB's. Sign a right footed one and Omole too. That way we still have Omole and Gunter to cover left-back but also have strong CB cover. I wouldn't be against this, I know some will as they want an attacking LB but also means less of Pearce which I'd be happy with.0

Schwartz has been rested till Kirk comes in. You watch Ronald get a hat-trick on Saturday.AndyG said:I know I'm going to get absolute pelters for this but looking at the highlights of Kirk slamming balls across the area maybe Ronnie has a future? He must be looking at that and thinking he would fill his boots6 -
Including a last minute penalty rifled into the top corner to bury his demons.ElfsborgAddick said:

This.golfaddick said:Having watched the video of Kirk & having read what Crewe fans have said I'd say we need an attacking LB to overlap with Kirk & also a poacher to finish off the chances he creates. He puts a lot of balls across the 6 yard line & would be a shame to see them go to waste.
As for Morgan. I see him more as a playmaker as his passing is pretty decent....but he is not a finisher & I doubt he'd get more than a couple of goals a season. Not enough composure & not a natural striker if the ball.
All in all, another 3 or 4 players and we should be sorted.
Striker
Left back
Attacking midfielder

We have a solid LB, what we don't have is an attacking LB (like Maatsen was)cafcfan1990 said:I wonder with the Inniss and Famewo concerns we could go with 5 CB's.

I know nothing about the player, but would assume that Omole, as primarily a CB, will be more a defensive LB, rather than the one bombing down the wing and sending in crosses?1 -
What the hell?!
Charlie Kirk signs a four year deal, and rumours that Solomon Otaba is trialling and Tobi Omole is joining on loan from Spurs.All in one day.Nurse!!20 -
Solomon-Otabor rumours been around a while, he apparently failed a medical with us.

After signing Kirk I would be surprised if Soloman Otabor or Sims was under consideration.
Surely we would need a left footed Winger now. DJ and Kirk are both right footed.3 -
Seen much worse than that!DOUCHER said:
