Because someone somewhere in our organisation believes that they can "challenge for first team places" which as we know is rubbish. Some of these blokes weren't even good enough in the NPC when they had a lot of far better players around them to dig them out of the crapper each time.

De Ridder,Seaborne,Chaplow all that just shoudn't still be here cluttering up the squad.
