I see it as good news there is no Mama in the 25 man squad
(A Harsh truth -but there's absolutely no room for sentiment)
shows that without Kitson, Beattie, Mama and perhaps more sadly Liam, we're moving on
Great to see Tuncay and Begovic and Ryan are still very much with us and, I would hope the players looking around at training today with the new arrivals, would have been thinking - bloody hell !!! this is looking tasty - Id better get my bloody finger out !

Strange that Shotton is ahead of Davies in Tone's thinking? 1.5m down the toilet it seems. Obviously if we can loan Davies out to the Championship next week, we will. You'd have thought the same for Soares and Tonge too, but they've made the squad. I expect them to go out on loan, along with Shotts, leaving a solid 22 behind. If we can't survive until January with 22 players, something is wrong. I guess Tone just wanted to cover his options in case loans can't be agreed for these 4. Other teams seem to have risked a 21/22 player squad from the outset.

STOKE CITY have submitted their 25-man squad for the first half of the Barclays Premier League campaign . . . and confirmed the squad numbers for their new signings.
Eidur Gudjohnsen will wear the number seven shirt, Marc Wilson number 12, Salif Diao retains the number 15 he previously had and Jermaine Pennant wears number 16.

GK - Begovic, Sorenson Nash RB - Wilkinson, Huth CB - Shawcross, Faye LB - Higgy, Collins DEF - Shotton RM - Walters, Pennant, Soares DM - Diao CM - Wilson, Delap, Whitehead, Whelan LM - Tonge, Etherington MID - Pugh ST - Fuller, Gudjohnsen, Tuncay, Jones Christ, bit bloody short of defenders aren't we? Amazed that Soares has got the nod over Davies, for this reason alone. Once you get past Huth-Shawcross-Faye-Collins and Wilko/Higgy on the bench, we're looking very short of numbers. It'd be madness to send Shotton out on loan now, as he's the only proper cover we've got outside the usual picks. (The thought of Pugh at LB scares me shitless, and I don't think it's fair on Wilson to expect him to be playing in defence too often either)

I'd say we're very flexible with a number of players who can play more than 1 position.
GK - Begovic, Sorenson, Nash
RB - Wilkinson, Huth, Wilson, Whitehead, Shotton.
CB - Shawcross, Faye, Wilson, Higgy, Collins, Huth, Shotton
LB - Higgy, Collins
RM - Walters, Pennant, Soares, Delap, Pugh
DM - Diao, Whitehead, Pugh
CM - Wilson, Delap, Whitehead, Whelan, Pugh, Tonge, Diao, Gudjohnson
LM - Tonge, Etherington
ST - Fuller, Gudjohnsen, Tuncay, Jones, Walters

And nothing to do with him being out until at least Christmas, at which point we're allowed to replace Soares with him?

OK, next question...who are the genuine 'squad players' in that 25, who aren't likely to see the bench on a matchday unless there are injuries.
If we are looking at the first 18 if you like (11 + 7 subs), I reckon there's no place for:
Nash, Pugh, Soares, Tonge, Shotton, Diao + 1 other. For me its either Delap or Whitehead, but I fear it could be Tuncay in Tone's mind!
I guess a couple of suspensions / injuries takes the problem away, but still a dilemma I wouldn't want to have.
Your thoughts?

i know its only a game but on fifa wilson is classed as a cb On FIFA Fuller is slow, Stoke's defence is crap, Etherington is slow, i could go on but never ever rely on FIFA for information on players.

Noticed no Danzelle on either list. How old is he? Assume he's out on loan somewhere then?

In view of his injury and and also his limited ability, one would have to assume that Sidibe won't be.... Please god. Mama will be first name on the list as our longest serving player Isn't he injured

If some of our guys ( i.e. Tonge,Soares,Davies...etc ) get loaned out next week, i presume we can fill there slots with free transfers ? Only asking cus i was looking at the list of players available on a free and there is a few decent (not world beaters) but decent, who MAY better us. Obviously looking at full back position and .....well who knows !!!! www.givemefootball.com/pfa-transfer-list?position=Right+Back&name=FullName&page=2Mainly Finnan & Bouma,but also plenty of midfielders too, oh i don't know ;D Is Finnan better than Wilko or Hoot and is Bouma better than the two Dannys' ,hmm i actually don't know ???
