I'm not sure we can sign a free agent now can we? Or we can, but he can't be registered to play until the next registration (transfer) window in January? That being the case, Skalak gets a place until January when I'm convinced Tony will go big on a striker early doors.

There seems to be some debate, but I am certain if a place is left open in the 25 it can be filled with a free agent later.


We'll find out if we are looking at this if we only name 24 by 5pm today.

Leave Skalak out, and go for Cheick Diabate who's available on a free. 1 in 2 record in Ligue 1 so has a decent pedigree, and 6'4 so can play up top on his own.

We need a striker more than we need an average winger. Nothing against Skalak, his attitude is spot on, but he's surplus to requirements and I think it would suit both parties.

Although the squad on the surface seems to be obvious, I'm surprised there has been no official announcement given it would have already been submitted.

Is it too much to hope that a place has been set aside for a free agent ?

Couple of under 21/scholar names I've not seen mentioned...

Mamadou Saliou Koné, 17yo Portuguese defender of Guinean descent who we appear to have signed this season from Benfica.

And Jordan Nando Marques Araujo....Who I can't find any information about whatsoever.

Does [MENTION=1276]AZ Gull[/MENTION] have any info as our resident guru on all things Albion Youth?

Can see Mateju, but not Ahannach
Ahannach is over 21, just, and as he's not in the 25 man squad won't be listed.

Of course, he can still play in cup games and for the U23s.

We don't need him (although I rate the lad) as we have 5 out & out Wingers plus Rosenior, Brown, Suttner and Schelotto.

I remember in days gone by that we had a winger crisis, it's great that we're so well stocked and seem to have some good ones waiting in the U23s too.

Just been reading up on this and if you have 25 contracted players then you must name them. So I guess the only way we could have reserved a place for a free agent is if we had loaned Skalak out in the window

So if Skalak were to go now as some countries still have another week to do their business (assuming PL clubs can still sell?)... Are we then able to use that spot for a free agent?...

Skalak just seems like a total waste of a place.

I could be wrong here but I think Ales Mateju qualifies as being under 21 as he was born 3 June 1996 and the rule I found says he has to be under 21 in January 2017.


To qualify, player's have to be 21 or under on 1 January. For the 2017/18 season that means a player had to be born after January 1, 1996.

Never mind any of that - maybe I'm the last to know but: Propper, David Petrus Wenceslaus Henri.
WHAT a name. Must be the first Wenceslaus we've had on our books?

No. He's named and cannot be un-named.
