Myles Judd

[Top of the JES]

Hopefully Brendo is right on this one.

Me too, hope Judd is our starting full/wing back on August 3.

We also let another striker, Jay Simpson, go. And Alabi has been transfer listed so that makes 4 going out. By my reckoning, we are still 2 short.

Same in midfield, we let Lawless and Lee go and have replaced them with just Josh Wright. We've also yet to hear if Dayton is going to resign.

You can't criticise people for pointing out that pre-season has started, our first friendly is this Saturday, and we are currently very short on numbers and, arguably, quality.

Simpson was signed to cover Koroma's injury in February last season. Once Koroma was up and running again, he couldn't get onto the pitch. If Alabi goes, then yes we will need another forward, but that means only one to come in. 6 strikers on the books would be overkill.

I think we may bring in another central midfielder, but a case for a Clay-Wright-Gorman-McAnuff central 4 can be made.

We need a winger, for sure and I expect we will sign one, rumoured to be Louis Dennis, in the coming days.

5 and a kid is not overkill IMO. It's the one position that you use subs and change things up practically every game. Even when we had Bonne and Koroma who were undropable, we still brought on Harold (and played 3 or stuck Josh out wide).

In one of his earliest chats, Justin said he wanted 2 players for each position all over the park plus support from kids. But then added you can never have enough strikers, so would take 5 up top.

Finally someone talking a bit of sense

If we had 6 strikers, you wouldn't even be able to get them all onto the pitch at in one game. It would mean using up 4 of the 6 outfield bench spots. 6 strikers would mean 3 players for these positions, would it not?

What?

We'll have 2 keepers and a kid - you don't expect all 3 of them to be in the matchday squad, do you?

The two keepers that arent Brill will not be on very much. Having 5 senior strikers, which would mean bringing in a total of 4 this window, would be ridiculous.

We will bring one more in, to replace Alabi should that be possible. There is no way we will sign two strikers from here.

I'm not suggesting that we need 5 top rated 20+ a season 'senior' goalscorers in the squad. It's possible that one of the five won't be on very much. We could have some prospects in that figure - possibly a higher teams U23 cast off or a young non leaguer.

I'm pretty sure it won't happen either. But it should.

[Thor]

We will go with 4 again, but only if alabi is moved off the wage bill and probably before we sign a replacement for him. We won't be going with 5 that's for sure.

Again, I fear you're right but it's wrong.

[gshaw]

Yup, wouldn't be so bad if Harrold could be considered to be a starter but he isn't. As one of 5 he's a good impact but as one of 4 we look light on options.

Depends who the other striker is. If he's good and a potential starter with competition for a place then MH and the 4 then look strong.

Now saying Judd is off to Pompey

[Long slender neck]

We've got 5 strikers.

Awww thanks for the mention, I'm so pleased to know I'm on your mind constantly

No doubt you were one of those saying it was rubbish that Bonne and Koroma were going. Forgot that doesn't fit with the narrative does it.

[Red_Army]

The account is run by a child who has no info other than the rumours we all hear.

They're definitely wrong about Josh Falkingham.

[Thor]

I was talking to Cream earlier and he told me over a couple of diet cokes that Judd is not leaving the club. In fact he’s certain that he will sign a new contract with improved terms. There you have it from the mouth of cream.

They bandwagoned those. What about these other deals that haven't come to fruition?

Er, ok.

So loads of posts about a non event

Agree. I hope Judd plays ahead of Ling unless he proves not up to it. Then and only then give Ling a chance.

But I suspect Ling will get the nod. I can see Ling Snr having more influence over team matters this season given the lack of experience of RE. Of course that won’t be the public face of who is running the show.

Spot on. I don't often agree with dOh, but he's got it right here. Ling snr, will exert huge influence on team matters, and he'll want his boy playing, that's for sure.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Think it will be clear if there's any danger of Judd going depending on if he is in Spain. Cant imagine he would travel all that way, and we'd pay for him, if he was off within a few weeks.

Unless he is in active discussions with another club he will go to Spain. His place, cost wise, in going to Spain ain’t huge in the great scheme of things.

Nonsense. Embleton wants to prove he can be a good manager so that they remove the interim tag from his title. No way is he picking a weaker team because of Ling senior - that's just massively paranoid. This isn't the Beelzebub era for god's sake.
