There will always be a number of players who don't make the 18. That happens if you have a squad of 25.
You don't need them until you need them (Suspensions, injuries, illness, cup runs) . Doesn't mean you don't have them.
Otherwise its goodbye Rosenior, Skalak, and Maenpaa for starters.
The whole thing is shame. I think he'd have had a fair bit of game time this season if he'd been fit.
Crucial part of last seasons promotion. Sure he still had ability to hold his own in Prem. Good bloke too.
But yes. i think that means 4 incoming now.
Striker (unfinished business) , Brown...
Sidwell was being targeted for a comeback at the cup 4th round.
Given limited CM cover, and Molumby being injured as well then i think Hughton was hoping to have him back to do that 3 in midfield / finish off a game role that he used him for many times last season. his experience also...
I will. :)
You seem to be arguing that the club only want him and gave him a contract because we were incapable of finding a replacement or forking out the cash for one. A rather lukewarm definition of being wanted but ok fair enough.

Or perhaps it was actually as Hughton described him when he signed the new 3 year deal, He is "a key member of the squad" , who has played 60 times for Hughton in the last 2 seasons, last season scored 11 vital goals and several assists to (help) get us promoted.
Instead of the guff that a)...
Somewhere between @statbrother who can't recall
Him playing a game in 3 years let alone the 31 he chalked up last season (i.e.: never) and "after the international break"
He will be in the squad as will Kayal and Izzy Brown
He's just been given a lucrative
New contract (Hemed hasn't - yet) so absolutely part of CH plans and is actually already in "light" training. Nothing is certain about SB fitness but
he will be in the 25.
