That's what I thought. If we sell Dav before then I presume Dier would take his place in the squad.The squads don't have to be registered for a couple of weeks

He’s only under contract for another year anyhow and whilst our squad is bloated, Anges group of usable players really isn’t (Sanchez is part of that, like it or not). He’s our back up cb, the other options listed are a left back, a right back and a kid. Don’t think keeping him til at least January harms anyone.Fine by me.
Our squad remains incredibly bloated, especially when you consider the loanees.
Sanchez is one of those players who needs to move on, so if there’s an opportunity to do that now, we should take it.
Sure it leaves us slightly short at CB, but between VDV, Romero, Phillips, Davies and Royal… I think we can weather it til January, playing one game a week.
Playing Davies and Royal there isn’t optimal, but then frankly neither is playing Sanchez there.
Has the registration deadline passed? I thought we had a few more days?
1. He’s practically the first name on our bench and he’ll see significant minutes as injuries/suspensions disrupt our back line. Downgrading him to Dier or Davies is likely to cost us points.Fuck it, Sergio Ramos is a free agent.
Bring him in til January.
Any opportunity to shift our deadwood must be taken.
The first game of the season showed how easy it is to lose a key defender from a nothing challenge. It would be bonkers to let Sanchez go now.1. He’s practically the first name on our bench and he’ll see significant minutes as injuries/suspensions disrupt our back line. Downgrading him to Dier or Davies is likely to cost us points.
2. He’s not really deadwood per se as he’ll be a free agent come summer and we won’t have to try to offload him. The only thing we miss out on is whatever pittance of a fee Gala would pay, which isn’t likely enough to make up for the aforementioned lost points.
didnt i see somewhere emerson potentially option there too? also what ever happened to Maksim Paskotši?Only way this is true is if Phillips is impressing in training as our only options are otherwise Dier and Davies. Since Dier has been practically frozen out I doubt he's even an option?
Think we'd need to be in a proper crisis before we try emerson as a CB in a back 4, but who knows?didnt i see somewhere emerson potentially option there too? also what ever happened to Maksim Paskotši?
He is not a viable CB coverSurely even we’re not stupid enough to sell our only viable CB cover 24 hours after the window has shut?
Please tell me this is a joke.

seems to have health problemsPaskotsi has had a tough couple of years with heart complications from Covid. Phillips and Dorrington are now probably ahead of him and Sayers.
Ashcroft at right back missed most of last season with injury but has come back strong.
He is not a viable CB cover
Squad doesn’t need to be named until after the international break I believe.Ok - so I’m not up on all this squad stuff. If Dav has been named in the 25 and we now sell him… can we fill his place with someone else?
