If I'm being kind about Lloyd James, I'd say he's played a lot of games the past 2 seasons for us where we've made consecutive playoff finals so that's something.
But in reality, he is not very good. Can't run, can't tackle, not particularly good at passing, doesn't score or create. He was a...
Yep, seen that. We will definitely need to sign a couple of strikers but can't see too many good options who were released by L2 clubs.
We need to be looking at someone with a bit of pace to play with Stockley.
There's real potential for those games to be tasty as f*ck, especially if one or two more of our players move your way. Think I'd want the fixture played after the season has taken more shape.
I'll predict Macclesfield away.
Yep, and I think that's probably right. The club confirmed we offered to make him our highest paid player (which would probably be very good money for League 2) so I don't think it was specifically money motivated, though MK are probably offering him more.
I just question why his loyalty is...
Good signing for MK.
JMT is a good defender. He's aggressive and good on the ball, but he's very slow and is probably only about 5ft10. If he was taller and faster he'd be playing at a higher level. You also can't rely on him as he's always likely to break down at least once a season for a...
Disappointing not to hold onto him for longer but don't think we can be too unhappy with £750k for Storey. He did only play 17 games after all (he was brilliant, however).
Does mean we've received *£4.35mill from player sales in under 12 months. The club are certainly doing something right in...
Substantial undisclosed fee. It's annoying we don't know the figure or a rough guide so hard to say whether it was right to sell or not.
Fair play to Preston for jumping in there early. Storey's got big potential and Preston have got themselves a really good prospect.
Haven't heard anything either but he does have big potential. Tall, strong, quick, good on the ball, brave etc. Came from nowhere last season and was the real success story from our squad. Hasn't played a huge amount of games but his valuation should rocket after another year with us.
Not sure...
We've kept and expect we will be keeping every one of our key players so we've still got the side that has got us to the playoff final 2 years running. Obviously you never know how it will work with a new manager coming in but on the playing side we should be in a stronger position than last year.
Our retained list is out.
We've released:
Troy Archibald-Henville, Robbie Simpson, Ryan Brunt, Liam McAlinden, Dan Seaborne, Alex Byrne, Lewis Williams.
McAlinden should end up at a club in this league. Troy could as well if he finds a club who are happy to manage his fitness. The others I...
Very happy with Matt Taylor, seems a universally popular decision across the fan base which is what we needed. Fits all my criteria in being young, willing to bring through the youth players and he knows the club. He was a great defender for us and I'm really pleased we're giving him his chance...
