As it stands one or both of them may not be registered. That will be a really sad situation for them.
It seems Mehmeti wants to fight for his place and I get this is his opportunity to play in the premier league. Can't blame him and he has something to offer. If we sign Flemming though it already means one misses out from our current squad so I can only see it being one of them. If we sign another player then we are 2 over.
Tricky decision for GON but he will just pick the strongest squad with his head. I guess potentially we may see one or both go last minute. Probably a little more complicated for Jack Taylor with his Injury. Hopefully enough a long to get a move.
*Edited as I had a brain fart and had written Jack Clarke originally and meant Taylor. Sozza. [Post edited 1 Sep 9:12]

Where do you get that from?
GK: Scherpen, Walton, Palmer
RB: Ouattara, Furlong
RCB: O’Shea, Diop
LCB: Greaves, Kipre
LB: Davis
CM4: Matusiwa, Luis
CM6/8: Palacios, Lukic, Nunez, Taylor
RW: Fatawu, Mcateer
CAM: Enciso, Egeli, Mehmeti
LW: Maeda, Philogene, Clarke
ST: Flemming, Emersonn, Akpom
Based on the above that would be 27 squad members (Counting incoming Flemming), 2 U21s not counting in Ouattara and Egeli so an exact 25? [Post edited 1 Sep 8:08]

Like above,
I'm counting 26 relevant players here today once the 4th keeper is removed. Humphreys and Ogbene reduce that to 24. Flemming increases to 25.
More action on top to squeeze out another player or two? (Not Clarke!) | | | |

To be able to not have a drop off when the subs come on or if a player gets injured the squad would need to look something like this, so maybe another 150 - 200 m will patch it up....
GK: Scherpen, Walton
RB: Ouattara NEW starting RB
RCB: O’Shea, Diop
LCB: Greaves NEW starting LCB
LB: Davis
NEW back up LB
CM4: Matusiwa, Luis
CM6/8: Palacios, Lukic, NEW back up CM
RW: Fatawu NEW back up RW
CAM: Enciso, Egeli, NEW back up 10
LW: Maeda, Philogene, Clarke
ST: Flemming, Emersonn, NEW starting ST [Post edited 1 Sep 8:39]

7 signings today! You're setting yourself up for disappointment fella. Confident we'll roll with 3 keepers too though I've been wrong before. | | | |

I should have added, this is the long term wish list / hopeful plan/.
Operation staying in the league this year is already well underway, hopefully we can get to January 17th or above and start to build again from there. | | | |

You won't be seeing 150-200M of signings in the January transfer window.
In principle I agree with you that we need to strengthen more to become an established PL club, but that will be over the next 2 summers, not in January. Depending on if we do, or do not, make a big ticket sale in January, any transfers are likely to be tops 50M, and 2-3 players.
We're spending big right now because the new PCR allows it in our catchup transfer window, but after this window closes, much of our transfer business is going to be dependent on how much revenue we received from sales. | | | |

I did mean Jack Taylor. I will edit. Doh. Thanks for spotting.
I'm hoping I got downers because of Jack Clarke error because don't think I'm saying anything controversial otherwise. I like Mehmeti and Taylor. Just difficult decisions ahead. [Post edited 1 Sep 9:13]

The stepping stone is this season, if we stay up then it is all systems go on the transfer front from next summer to make the squad the best it can be.
Going down is not an option, it really is very finely balanced as the squad is not strong enough when you write it all down, like I did just then and you see the glaring gaps.
Anyway, have we signed anyone yet? | | | |

I'd bin McAteer first, hardly PL standard by any means
I dread to think what will happen if Fatawu is injured | | | |
| Anis Mehmeti & Jack Taylor on 09:25 - Sep 1 | SomethingBlue |
Zero chance we leave a senior player out of the 25 unless long-term injured. | |

Agreed, but people also need to have realistic expectations based on the reality of financial constraints. This summer we have significant headroom to spend big. That evaporates tomorrow, without us selling players for significant profit during subsequent windows.
This I suspect is why we've made a number of signings speculatively, in order to see player value increase and revenue boosted during subsequent windows. The Brighton model. | | | |

Unless I'm missing your point then we currently would have no choice. | |

That's exactly what I make it. Mehmeti seems to have declined a move and you can't really ship Taylor out while he's recovering from an operation. To get another defender, I think Palmer would have to go - or decide not to register Mehmeti and just say "well, we warned you". |  |
