Wonder when Evans last saw his feet

You'd hope they get the key ones sorted for pre-season else how are you going to gel a new group without your first choice GK, LB, RB, CDM and only one fit wide player?

Interesting to hear Nigel say at the AGM yesterday that he hopes we get our transfer business done much earlier this year compared to last. Probably many players on holiday and hopefully things will start moving towards the end of June.

1 x GK
2 x Fullback
1 x CDM
1 x CM
2 x Striker
1 x winger who can play AWL & AWR

Not sure we will get all the above, but we can only wish/pray

Well that's the bare minimum to even compete in this league so recruitment better get a move on

Also said we have to get players signed up earlier than before!

Yes, there’s a lot of work to be done and we haven’t even had any ‘rumours of signings ‘

Loads of rumours though I do think some journalists have to write anything to justify their wage.
23 year-old Jack Nolan a winger who played for Accrington last year. Joe Whitworth an inexperienced goalkeeper from Crystal Palace and Arsenal goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo a 22-year-old who has been released by Arsenal ahead of the 2024/24 campaign. Mikey Moore, Spurs youngster, playing for England U17's, 8 goals in 9 appearances. Some supporters will not be happy in employing inexperienced players. Dunfermline Athletic defender Josh Edwards. 29 year-old Jack Payne ex Charlton midfielder. Callum Burton a goalkeeper, ex Plymouth. Has 78 apps in the last five years. Of course El Mizouni and Vigouroux got a mention. Sheffield Wednesday’s Tyreeq Bakinson. Goalkeepers: Joe Wildsmith released from derby. Jordan Archer back up goalkeeper at QPR is potentially a free agent this summer. Blondy Noukeu esx Southend loanee. Mo Eisa MK Dons Striker. Keenan Appiah-Forson. Young West Ham CM, who spent last season on loan at Daggers. Some of these rumours are from the forums. My experience, judged on the last two windows is not to expect much if anything.
