Having just read of Sigmund's signing its starting to look like a more full roster but I am wondering what is left to come? Who are we looking to sign? Can anyone confirm the maximum number of players allowed in the squad, I thought it was around the 22/23 mark and with Sigmund we have 20:

GOALKEEPERS: 1.Glen Moss, 2.Mark Paston
RIGHT FULL BACKS: 3.Jeremy Christie
CENTRAL DEFENDERS: 4.Andrew Durante, 5.Jon McKain, 6.Ben Sigmund, 7.Karl Dodd
LEFT FULL BACKS: 8.Tony Lochead
RIGHT MIDFIELDERS: 9.Leo BERTOS
CENTRAL MIDFIELDERS: 10.Richard Johnstone, 11.Tim Brown 12.Michael Ferrante
LEFT MIDFIELDERS: 13.Vince Lia
ATTACKING MIDFIELDERS: 14.Daniel, 15.Troy Hearfield, 16.Leilei Gao
STRIKERS: 17.Vaughn Coveny, 18.Costa Barbarouses, 19.Greg Draper, 20.Shane Smeltz
 
This is straight from the phoenix website - intersting to see where they have put some players...

Presuming that the Joel Porter rumours are true (or at least we are looking to sign another striker) how many spots are left? Are we looking at a right / wide back (apparently we only have two so no cover there) are we looking at a dynamic passing midfielder with Johnstone and Brown of a similar style player? through in a marquee player... (Porter?)

Anyone fancy a crack with their crystal ball....

There's a max of 23.

The club have said they are looking to have 22 and keep a spot available if needed.

Plenty of discussion on other threads but (in summary)

RB Cover - Dodd, Lia.  LB Cover - Sigmund, Daniel.  RM Cover - Lia, Costa.  LM Cover - Gao, Daniel, Costa

We have quite a few players with experience in spots other than those listed, but the engine ties the club to listing them in one spot.

How's my driving? - Whine here
