Boro register 24 players

[GibbosEmpire]

So we can register 25 players but we've chosen to register 24, does that mean an arrival is imminent? Free agent?

 

[Otto42]

Maybe or could just be incompetence?!

 

[changingman]

That is odd, there's no real benefit to only registering 24 (unless someone else is joining).

Teams competing in Europe can play tunes with the amount of players they register for those competitions (based on % homegrown etc) but that won't be a consideration of ours for some years!

No benefit to registering 25 either as long as no one has missed out. Makes sense to leave a spot open in case we get an injury and need to add a free agent.

That would be my take on it too, it's a contingency.

Who else is there to even register that hasn't been? There's the 24 man list and then the U21 squad list that includes first team players like Coburn, Hackney, Rogers, and van den Berg, and then the other U21s.

No one has been left out of the 25 man squad though have they?

 

[BoroPhil]

yeah - assuming no-one has been left out it is pointless registering an u21.

Best thing about this is seeing the player's middle names.

I mean.. I don’t want to have to spell the guys name out..

 

[BoroPhil]

52 players on pro contracts. not including some out on loan eg Brynn

 

[changingman]

That would also suggest we didn't get all of the business done we wanted in the window no?

AFAIK we'd usually submit a 25 man list.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Why name a player who is never going to get near the first team. Some of those playing now shouldn't be, never mind the 25th man.

 

[Bruce]

Simply that we only have 24 players we need to register. (I was surprised that Bilongo is old enough to need registering.) Note that we have registered Matt Clarke so we're clearly hoping he might be available before Christmas.

 

[BoroPhil]

You don't need to register u21s, it's pointless. Rogers and v d Berg are in the unregistered list as u21s, no-one is arguing they aren't members of the first team squad (regardless of your opinion of them!)

I’m guessing young Josh Coburn is written in invisible ink

Edit, as he’s 20 I guess that’s the reason?

Were McGree's parents drunk when they registered his birth?
