yep seen the rumours
Frank Neary

We are also after a centre back who can also play left back and right back, and dont mind selling programmes at half time

We're not adding anyone new to the squad. We'll replace Ruel if he goes and we're replacing Marvin. The rest will be loans that won't get a look in.

Are we not replacing all the other players we let go?

Alabi = Johnson
Ekpiteta = tbc
Janata = not required
Who else did we release?

Janata - ideal caretaker goalie

And Gorman = Cisse. Or rather Gorman < Cisse would be more accurate
Think they've said about a forward in addition to a defender, though can't remember if that was only if Sotiriou didn't sign (it must be though, or we'd have too many up front). Not having Wilkinson as a winger at all.

I think the forward is Ruel or A N Other but time will tell. I feel that even if we had Ruel, we would still need a big guy alongside him. Not sure Angol or Wilkinson is that guy.

Gorman and Alabi were on loan last season, so not part of the squad. Janata will just get replaced with another kid from the youth set up.

That's the one SF, forgot all about Gorman
Upfront is a conundrum as the only one who seems to be willing to run around chasing the ball and agree with you a striker without much pace playing wide just seems bizarre

I’m surprised we haven’t been linked with the entire Dagenham and Redbridge squad...

Surely you'd prefer a Brazilian?

Watford reserves have a striker who's a bit of a unit who could be available on loan. Dalby's the name. Sam Dalby.

Leicester have also released 6'3 centre forward Ryan Loft, used to be at Spurs and has spent a couple of seasons out on loan at Carlisle and Exeter. He's a bit crap but he could offer something a bit different.

A poor version of Matt Harrold?

Loft would say all the right things but ultimately be a bit toothless when you need him.

Sounds the perfect Ling signing. Is he also injury prone?

Not that I know of, just a bit crap.
Comparing him to Harrold is a bit like comparing Josh Koroma to Messi. They're of a type but one isn't fit to lace the other's boots. When Messi has scored a worldie on a wet wednesday in Halifax then and only then can he class himself in Josh's league.

I thought Ross said that Jobi McAnuff extending his contract was “ like a new signing”?

I would like to see Dalby play alongside Sotiriou. Won’t happen though

Did Dalby put on 5 stone, or is a 'unit' now a skinny kid that weighs 8 stone?

He's never going to be Akinfenwa but he's filled out. He's got to be at least 6'4 and 14 odd stone.
