    Joe Adams has been sent to see a second specialist about his injury. Doesn't sound the best! Sarce out for a little while too as well as Walkers knocks, i really wouldn't be surprised to see a CM join, even on a short term contract until Jan.

    This one with Joe Adams really is a shame, looked like the type of player that really could have contributed, wish him a speedy recovery ...

    Is Adam's on loan?.If he is,and the injury is serious,then Wigan will probably want him back to oversee his treatment,as Brentford did with Oyagoke last season.

    He is, I'm guessing they are the ones asking for a second specialists opinion too?

    The way he picked up his injury reminded me of Rhodri’s at the weekend v Arsenal. Clipped from behind throwing all his weight on to a twisting knee?

    4/5 of the budget spent on permanent signings.

    Can we remove the referendum? I'm fed up of all things Jake Young.

    Avoid if possible. Our centre halves aren't out for long, though i wouldn't be suprised if we had one training with us just incase anything happens to the other two in the next couple of weeks. Wouldn't mind a Jim O'Brien type to back up Smallwood but there's a reason they're still free

    There is a limit to the number of ‘outfield’ senior players League 1 and 2 clubs can have on their books.

    The number is 22. They are registered players irrespective of injury.

    City can have any number of Under 21’s. The EFL definition of 'Under 21' this season is very simply defined as 'any player born on or after January 1 2004'.

    So the club is constrained.

    That is why it is essential to assess a players potential longstanding/underlying vulnerability to injury.

    Clearly some injuries have never been suffered by players in the past, but there would seem to be a duty of care. Yes sign a couple of outstanding players, who have a history, but too many would seem to be foolhardy.

    What are you saying? We cant register anymore players? Think you need to get the abacus out.

    We are at around 19. Sanderson, Pointon and Adams dont need to be registered.

    Halliday, Johnson, Benn, Richards, Wright.
    Byrne, Baldwin, Diabete, Kelly, Shepherd.
    Smallwood, Sarcevic, Pattison, Oduor, Walker.
    Cook, Oliver, Smith, Kavanagh

    Thats 19. 3 spaces remain.

    Kelly is out until Xmas and no idea on Johnson. With Byrne and Baldwin out for a few weeks I woulsnt be surprised to see a CB.

    Jamal Baptiste available. 20 years old, released by Man City. Offer him a trial as without a club. If he out of our reach look at Ashley Eastham or Ryan Bennett as cover until January. About as good as we will get but its a body.

    We're at 18 officially, Kav is still under aged. Shit loads of space left for squad cover.

    They aren't the only ones at it. Notts County have signed cover for Jodi Jones today, as he is likely to be out for a while.

    I saw his name mentioned in the bbc report about trial games for out of contract players, and I thought to myself he can probably still do a job for a lower league club. Decent signing if he stays fit. “Only” 32 so hardly over the hill.

    Well there you go...no idea where we are 'constrained' came from. I knew we were nowhere near before even listing them. Obvious!
