He's classed as a first team player because he's listed in the first team

It's unbelievable that we've ended up in this situation TBH
Did none of us consider this 'squadbloat' when we were hoovering up all the bang average players from various European leagues? Everything seemed so bloody rosy at the time

Its amazing how many of those are in the central midfield. Basically, we need to clear out 2 CBs, 8 midfielders, 2 strikers, and a wide player. Thats 15 players over half of which are in the midfield.
Koeman and Walsh pulled our pants down big time, that`s why.
Walsh was ultimately clueless, seemingly with no check and balance with his purchases.
Koeman was exposed as a clueless dud, who always had an eye, on the glittering prize at Barcelona.
These two combined, is the reason for why we find ourselves with " squad bloat "

What's even more galling is that if we played all 38 in the game against Man City last season we'd still be beaten.

There is a reason why Brands is so well respected across europe. We aren't Real Madrid, we can't attract the best of the best. Brands has done wonders for PSV and you're already writing him off before hes even made a signing. As for West Ham, they could never attract a Marcel Brands to join their shambles club. They signed Pellegrini, a manager who has only done well when he's had an unlimited budget at his disposal. I am really glad we never went for pellegrini as he is a dinosaur and has been in the Chinese league finishing mid table.

The very same league that has attracted that managerial giant, Chris (gareth bale) Coleman.

I think he showed in the first half he could cut it. He was their stand out player, but playing 50 games in one season compared to what 15 games for the u23's is a vast difference and maybe he tired? That was the same as Joe Williams who started off well at Barnsley, but their fans were saying he looks tired and he eventually got injured, Connolly and Robinson had strong finishes but they weren't in the team for most of the first half of the season.
He wouldn't get into the Chelsea, Arsenal or Spurs sides, but he wouldn't get in ours ahead of Sigurdsson, but playing him off the bench and in cups will help him progress as a player. He's technically good enough just needs to be helped into a good enough player for us and those teams.

He's a good DOF who I rate highly myself however this league is a totally different ball game than Holland and for all the scouting and bargain signings (which he'll no doubt aim for) we still have to sign proven quality alongside those 1-2 scouting signings and that costs money in the current market. Even foreign signings now are going for daft fee's - Fekir £55 million, Allison - £80 million, Willian Jose £50 million.
I fear the fans are just happy we have a bloke who has a decent track record of finding bargain diamonds when we still have to go out and spend big (and wisely) to do anything in this league.
Anyone expecting EFC to sign 5x £10 million players who'll all be £50 million quality just isnt realistic and shouldn't be accepted if we want to achieve anything higher than 10th.
