Size isn't everything for McIndoe
Burnley secured promotion to the Premier League last term with a budget and playing staff much smaller than many of their promotion rivals, using just 23 players in league competition all season compared to Birmingham (32) and Wolves (29).
McIndoe arrived at the Ricoh Arena as just the second new face of the summer, with several players from last term heading in the opposite direction in one way or another. There has been plenty of concern about the lack of depth in the Sky Blues squad, but McIndoe is brushing those fears aside.
He told the club's official website: "Some people don't look favourably on a smaller squad but, from my point of view, sometimes it can offer you something a bigger squad can't.
"I've come here and joined a close squad of tight-knit players and a close group promotes a bit more togetherness and camaraderie.
Look at Burnley last season who were promoted with the smallest squad in the Championship.
"I already know a couple of the lads like Freddy Eastwood from our time at Wolves and Clinton Morrison, and the lads all seem top notch. Everything about this move seems to have just fallen into place. In a way it just feels right."
