As we come up to the TW finale, I thought it might be interesting to see how the overall squad has changed - so I've listed all the players over 21 in first team contention, plus the most notable iu21's
I'll try to keep this page up to date
Squad at the end of last season
GK - Hugo Lloris, Brad Friedel
FB - Kyle Walker, Danny Rose, Kyle Naughton, Ryan Fredericks, Zeki Fryers, Benoit Assou-Ekotto
CB -Younès Kaboul, Jan Vertonghen, Vlad Chiriches, Michael Dawson, (and u21 Milos Veljkovic)
CM - Paulinho, Lewis Holtby, Mousa Dembélé, Étienne Capoue, Sandro, Ryan Mason, Tom Caroll, Gylfi Sigurdson (and u21 Nabil Bentaleb)
AM Aaron Lennon, Eric Lamela, Andros Townsend, Nacer Chadli, Christian Eriksen, Cristian Ceballos, Iago Falque
FWD Roberto Soldado, Emmanuel Adebayor (and u21 Harry Kane)
I've omitted those who are not in first team contention such as Khumalo, Obika but even so that's 29 players over the age of 21 for our 25 man squad !
Ins and Outs
.................................In.................Out.............Comment
GK........................Micael Vorm...........................Pragmatic addition of like for like (with Lloris) GK
FB........................Ben Davies............................Pragmatic addition of 2nd LB experienced in PL
.............................................Ryan Fredericks....Loan to Middlesboro' for 14/15
CB........................Eric Dier...............................Youngster, but looking like a steal at 4m, covering RB as well
..............................................Michael Dawson...Doesn't fit Poch's system (unfortunately)
......................Federico Fazio...........................Seville's finest joins as CB
CM............................................Tom Carroll.........Loan to Swansea to get PL experience
......................Bejamin Stamboul.......................DM from Montpellier
................................................Lewis Holtby......Loan with option to buy
AM............................................Iago Falque.....Good but not good enough in a position we have lots of so let go (at 4m)
..............................................Gylfi Siggurdson.....Too many decent AM's so one had to go
FWD
Current Squad (at today's date)
GK - Hugo Lloris, Micael Vorm, Brad Friedel
FB - Kyle Walker (A), Danny Rose (C), Kyle Naughton (A), Zeki Fryers (A), Benoit Assou-Ekotto (and u21 Ben Davies)
CB -Younès Kaboul, Jan Vertonghen, Vlad Chiriches, Federico Fazio (and u21's Eric Dier, Milos Veljkovic)
CM - Paulinho, Benjamin Stamboul, Mousa Dembélé, Étienne Capoue, Sandro, Ryan Mason (C) (and u21 Nabil Bentaleb)
AM Aaron Lennon (C), Eric Lamela, Andros Townsend (C), Nacer Chadli, Christian Eriksen, Cristian Ceballos,
FWD Roberto Soldado, Emmanuel Adebayor (and u21 Harry Kane)
Total - 26 players over age 21 (including BAE and Fryers/Ceballos) plus 5 u21's ( Davies, Dier, Veljkovic, Bentaleb, Kane)
C = Club trained (4 of them), A = Trained at another FA Club (3 of them), Overseas(19 of them)
Davies and Dier are u21's for PL squad purposes but not EL squad purposes
I've not included the signing of DeAndre Yedlin as with his loan back to Seattle he is unlikely to impact this season (he might arrive in Jan - but looks like he needs more experience ?).
