- Spencer-Adams and Flynn have gone

Not sure this is a key point for anyone other than you.

Maybe Spencer-Adams and Flynn as well. Think they found out a few months ago though.

 

[fox58]

Squad has been announced.

Key points are:

- Smithies left out of 25
- Spencer-Adams and Flynn have gone
- All 25 spaces taken up including 4 keepers.

Flynn gets a mention in the mercury’s list of players

Vestergaard and Leicester were destined for divorce - then Maresca made him integral

Jannik Vestergaard, a player who expected to leave Leicester, has instead played an integral role under Enzo Maresca to date

Don’t tell some on here that he is ‘integral’.

 

[City Fan]

So integral that he’ll be on the bench when Coady is fit.

It's a squad game.
look at the replacements that came in last season, way below standard required

I don’t know who Spencer Adams and Flynn are. Any good? I presume they are youth prospects.

No, they were released

No, they were released

Correction: Shane Flynn is injured, Bayli Spencer-Adams has been released.

Great news. I think that was filmed a few weeks ago too.

I honestly think that these two could be key first team players before the end of the season.

They're at a totally different level to the likes of McAteer and Marcal.

Will Alves is an attacking mid, right? If so, I definitely think he'll get an opportunity - we are still light in that area.

Whereas I think Braybrooke is a deeper midfielder, more in the Winks mould? Might be harder for him to get game time unless he excels in training to show he can get ahead of Hamza, Wilf potentially others in that position - I think if fits, Winks will play almost every minute.

So long as he does the business on the pitch, im happy with that.
Pissed off with players playing below par last season, but still getting picked!
Hopefully as the season goes on, Enzo regime will be different

Just noticed it's on YouTube if you CBA to sign in on the city website

When you think about it, we don’t really have an attacking mid player. We have square pegs, but not that Maddison type midfielder who can unlock things.

may be not, but we are creating chances .

Move the ball that bit quicker, and we will create more.

Is Casadei that type of player? And I think the hope is that KDH can be that type of player in the Championship. But I guess also that the system is different, so we're also relying more on the wingers to unlock things.

I do worry about our creativity and goal threat though... we've started well but not exactly tearing teams apart. Hopefully it will come as the system and players gel.
