Now I know this isn’t about Birmingham but imagine if we signed 1 of them!
Would any of them pass the Parky plonker test?
Surely, Williams apart, they don’t need the money!

Brandon Williams problem is having too much money, he was on around 40k a week at United. More interested in flashing the cash rather than concentrating on his football.

You can add players to the 22 at any point if you've got space - like with Fletcher last season after the league had announced everyone's squads.

I thought we signed and registered Fletcher after the window had closed , but before the deadline for announcing the squad of 22?

The deadline for clubs to let the league know their squads is 24 hours after the window closes. The league just doesn't release them for a few days for some reason.
Last year they were announced on the 7th and Fletcher signed on the 8th.

Rules say
Changes outside of a Transfer Window. The League will only consider granting permission to make changes to the Squad List outside of a Transfer Window where the Club’s current Squad List contains less than the maximum number of Players permitted to be included on the Squad List and the Club wishes to add an Out of Registration Player or another Player registered with the Club but not currently included on the Squad List

I'm surprised a Championship club haven't snapped up Brando Williams, unless he's injured. Good age, solid footballer. Crap driver.

Must be the Scouse haircut on a Manc.

Must be more to it, as you said he’s a talented footballer. Deffo championship level id say. Clearly clubs know more about him on a personal level id say

Agreed ! if he's fully recovered from his injury , he's actually good enough to hold down a starting slot in several positions for us , even with the new signings we've brought in , but if he's not in the starting 11 , he's almost the perfect sub for us as he can bring real wilily to al of those positions .

I think the risk for someone like Forde is he end up 4th choice right back, 4th choice left back and 10th choice midfielder. Good enough to play , but never given the opportunity. He then comes to the end of the season and he is a free agent struggling to get a new club because he has hardly played over two seasons. I like him, but feel he is a bit wasted here.

Good call. I mean, we did just get rid of Dalby... Might feel bad if we don't have at least one striker missing layups...
