Agbawodikeizu gets my vote ahead of the not yet signed up Roofe. It wouldn't surprise me to see some out on loan or sold or given away. Brown for one. Ward, Rooney (despite looking decent in his pre season cameos)... it will be interesting to see what JE does.
Have asked someone who should know. Given squad does not need to be registered until the close of the transfer window, its a bit previous to say who is in and out, BUT Roofe, just playing for fitness, won't be signed again, 3, possibly 4 players will be sold/loaned out depending upon circumstances, some movement expected in next two weeks, U21 players don't have to be registered apart from loans from other clubs. Over 21 Keepers do have to be registered in 25 man squad.

From EFL rules

In the Championship, you're allowed an unlimited amount of under-21s on permanent contracts without registering them, but you would need to register any loanees among your 25 players, even if they're under-21s. Unlike the lower tiers, goalkeepers over the age of 21 also have to be registered as part of the 25-man squad in the Championship.

Beck expected to sign tomorrow, Brown is going out on loan.
