None; that I know of. Michael Johnson is the real surprise (as far as additions), while Santa Cruz is only sightly surprising.
OtF: our captain can beat up your captain.
Bitter and Blue: if you can't beat 'em; buy 'em.
25-man squad
With the departures over the past couple of weeks, it seemed certain Johnson would be included – even if not ready for action for 6 weeks or so.
The last spot was therefore down to Shaleum Logan or Kelvin Etuhu, two Academy graduates (but over aged 21). No surprise really that Logan was selected, especially with the injuries to Kolarov and Bridge as he can fill in there.
Neither Logan or Etuhu have any real future with the club though.
Logan and Etuhu
You will need guys who work hard in training and willing to ride the bench. For those last 2-3 spots since they will likely get No playing time outside of Cups and Blowout Wins
