I will say this our goal should be to have at least twenty or twenty one genuine first eleven quality players as we did in 2003-2004 (in 2001-2002 we had twenty five in 1997-1998 twenty-two). in order to kminimize the likelihood of injuries seriously impacting our performance. In my mind this current squad - including Cesc Fabregas - comes up four or five players short of that mark.

was only supposed to have at least twent or =twenty one bolded

The point though is dead right - we need at least twennty players good enough to play in our first eleven with any regulalrity.
