So that's fifteen first team players as it stands.
Given we will definitely sign another goalkeeper and obviously need a couple more strikers, that would take us to 18.
The midfield looks fine - incidentally, what's happened to O'Kane ? - but defence is sorely lacking, unless O'Connor and Shaughnessy are added along with de Bock. With those three in along with O'Kane, that would bring the numbers up to 22, which is about right given MB wants everyone getting game time.

Did I miss something with an announcement ?
Is there a reason why all the players I've mentioned are not in the list posted by alwaysleeds ??

As far as I understand it, Marcelo Bielsa has had 12 players training with him. O’Kane, de Bock, Klich etc are not included in the 12 so it is assumed they do not figure in MB’s plans. It is possible that such as Klich, who was out on loan and didn’t feature in enough games for MB to have studied him, could still be involved, if MB ultimately sees something in him.

And who are you?

Indeed we have more than 50 professionals in the squad, but Bielsa is having an overhaul - and so far these players are the ones safe for the coming season. But in the coming weeks this will change. Indeed.

To be perfectly honest it's the first time I've looked through an alwaysleeds post and not seen half-a-dozen names and gone "Who?".

Well, indeed. Who am I? A happily anonymous nobody hiding in the folds of life.

My comment wasn't a criticism of you. On the contrary, it was praising your knowledge of the playing staff and underscoring my own inadequacies as a Leeds fan.

Why not including Kun Temenuzhkov?

This is just a prediction, not what I would chose myself. Some of the youngsters not included may go out on loan.

To me Temenuzhkov indeed is someone for the first team squad.

Cibicki has joined Molde on a 6 month loan.
