With the signing of Cosgrave and discussions about whether we need another centre-half I thought it worth looking at how our headcount has changed.

That looks like a lot of unfilled spots however we started the rebuild middle of last season and may have temporarily increased headcount knowing that we wouldn’t renew certain contracts and would send out on loan unwanted players and needed to get out of relegation trouble.
Ferguson —> Husin
Walsh —> Wood
O’Shane Stewart —> ???
Harry Seaden —> ???
Plus loanees who never returned, whose wages might have been at least subsidised
Coulson —> Kensdale
Egbri —> Powell
Rush & Kinali —> Cardwell
Howard & Chandler —> Davies
All that suggests on last years budget we should have room for another couple of players (plus maybe some loanees). Possibly one starter and one player for cover. Of course it’s a very rough estimate and the cost of the outgoing player may vary considerably from the cost of the incoming player.
