I'm not sure we need either to be honest. We have Andrew Shinnie who has been bloody brilliant with Jordan Cook on the bench. Jordan Cook is no great shakes but you wouldn't have Shinnie or Berry on the bench. Same with Collins, Hylton and Akinde really. Fairly sure Barnsley wasted Berry by...
That seems to be the rumour, you'd assume it's a higher level release clause. That being said you'd expect a league one club at least would be happy to spend that amount on him, transfer request or not
Both NJ and Gary Sweet have been outright lying recently in regards to who we are and aren't interested in so I suppose Akinde is possible. Would be very surprised though and not really too bothered by this one, we don't need him.
Bradley on the other hand would be brilliant and much needed...
Weird stuff regarding Akinde. The article says we have a 3 man shortlist for every position on who we would be interested, is realistic and would improve the squad and Akinde is on that. He also says that there is no dialogue between us and Barnet.
Also says there is a good chance of making a...
Much better performance after last weeks aberration at Barnet. Colchester were very limited and seemed intent on slowing the game down at every opportunity.
Frustrating first half for the most part. The play was there but often picked the wrong option or pass right at the end, not quite...
Never worked out for him here. To be fair, it was a poor team he was playing in and the service wasn't good. He did ok at Peterborough when on loan there last season but his legs aren't there any more so his harrying and closing people down that used to bring him a lot of success has gone from...
New bid gone in for Vassel this morning, rumoured to be £1.75million.
Bite their hand off, crazy money for someone we got for free and is out of contract in the summer.
Various twitter transfer feeds and was also in The Sun this morning. So nothing remotely trustworthy.
Not in the squad for the Ipswich game. Got to think that confirms it.
Cornick conrfirmed. Two years, option for a third, undisclosed. No idea how good a signing it is as know nothing about him.
Interesting to note that the story on the online site emphasises him as a forward rather than a winger. A sign Vassel may well be off?
Our local rag reckons we are close to signing Harry Cornick from Bournemouth on a permanent. Yeovil fans, or any lurking Orient or Gills fans, what is he like.
Also Gary Roberts just left Pompey by mutual consent. Where do we think he's rocking up? Unlikely to be is if we are in for Cornick.
Stevenage it is. Solid signing from them. Will never give less than 100% however was never likely to force his way into the side this year.
Leaves Pelly as the last remaining member of the Conference promotion side.
Jonathan Smiths contract cancelled by mutual consent. Expect him to rock up at a mid table league 2 output sharpish.
Anyone in the market for an enthusiastic, if limited, central midfielder who struggles with passes further than five yards but loves a slide tackle?
None of our players are worth this much, no league 2 player is. However these are the sort of fees at which we will currently let certain players go at for 2 reasons.
1/ Our players are under long term contract. As such there is no need to sell in fear of losing the for nothing.
2/ We don't...
'The cross comes high but he's holding on,
Marek Stech is our number one.
He's not the kinda guy, who gives up just like that,
Ohhh no!'
And repeat until bored...
Absolute worldie of a save. The fact he got cleaned out, was down for 5 minutes and got up to carry on will have helped endear him to the fans too. I remember at Orient away when Jonathan Mitchell cleaned someone out in one of his only appearances for the club, everyone went nuts for him...
