How big is the squad gonna be, really?

I just wondered what the facts were this, seeing as I seem to keep changing my mind

Am guessing we're gonna bring in Wiggins, Maric and Holt. And maybe Ademoh or another right winger.

If so, then in terms of 1st team contenders, I guess we'd have:

2 keepers
Rudd
Theo

7 defenders
Drury
Doherty
Nelson
Otsemobor
Spillane
Stefanovic
Wiggins

9 midfielders
Adomah
Gill
Hoolahan
Hughes
Lappin
McVeigh
Pattison
Tudor Jones
Whaley

5 strikers
Cureton
Holt
Maric
Martin
McDonald

and then 8 or so youngsters who'd be the core of the reserve squad, and would be available to step up if needed:

Adeyemi
Renton
Daley
Kelly
Lathrope
Habergham
Stephens
Smith

So all in all - something like 21 first team contenders for the 10 ouftield places.

Guess that's not so many?

(As long as those 8 youngsters are on next-to-no money, and would be happy enough not to get anywhere near the first team this season...)

Is this about right?

(Sorry if this was geeky, but was just interested....)
