I like to have fewer players. That way, everyone is plugged into what you're doing. There is a risk attached to that sometimes but it's good to have a smaller squad. People have more chance of playing; they're ready and more motivated. Having 18 real players is better than having 25 or 26 not playing.

Quique Setien

But any squad needs players who are hungry to do well, with their careers ahead of them. That's important for the dynamic of the group, but it also needs a balance of guys who have seen it, done it and have that quality of leadership. It is all about the quality of the player.

Graham Potter

Managers now don't just use 11 players; they have to care about all the squad of 25 or more players.

Park Ji-sung

I'm not silly enough to say I don't take note of what other strikers are doing. I was totally aware players were scoring that were in the squad - and of English players scoring who weren't in the squad.

Callum Wilson

Shinji is a quality player but he is not the only one who is finding it hard to get regular football. There are many top players in the squad and there is plenty of competition.

Andy Cole

You only have to look at the England squad to see the amount of players who get in the squad and start the games - the majority play in the Champions League.

Gareth Barry

Any strengthening of the squad, in a League and Champions League which demands so much, is a good thing because you need many top quality players.

Eden Hazard

It's never a straightforward thing to do, to be able to inherit a squad. When you're mid-season it's never easy to get a team or a squad of players to function exactly the way you want them to.

Nigel Pearson

The NBA is getting bigger. Basketball is getting better around the world. There are more players. There are better coaches around it, so that's why there are more international players, not only Hispanic players, but from everywhere.

Jose Calderon

There are times when new players replace injured players in the national squad. Since the new players don't have enough experience and match practice at the international level, they seldom play under a lot of pressure.

Sandeep Singh

Arsenal do not have money to spend, so they are gambling on young players. Arsenal are obliged to sell their best players and bet on youth - but what counts is having a team, great players, and a solid squad to win titles.

Samir Nasri

When you have a small, balanced squad, you can work better. First of all everyone is involved in every squad list, a meeting can be a good training session.

Nuno Espirito Santo

I think we've got a lot players in the squad who are more suited to European football at the moment.

Steven Gerrard

I admire Arsenal and the philosophy that the young players have. Liverpool, with their Spanish players, they also have an incredible squad. And Manchester United and Chelsea are teams that are very big, like Real Madrid and Barcelona, with money and incredible players.
