Not a rumour but a prediction. JJ will go out on loan. Just get the feeling his game time will be limited. He knows that, is in the later years of his career and I think he'll want to get as many minutes as possible.
Not a rumour but confirmation that Staunton and Aribo who we had on trial during preseason have signed and both turned out for the u21s...
Euell said he thought Aribo could get into the first team squad this season so we might possibly see him on the bench at some point this year... especially if we don't get another winger in...
Disappointed we didn't sign Sinclair as well! He seemed to have something about him.

Not a chance in hell. Far too important a character around the training ground and dressing room.
I agree he won't get a lot of game time but sometimes players bring more to the table than that.

I agree although I am not sure Jacko will settle for being a bench warmer

does that confirm they have signed? can they not turn out for the U-21's as triallists?

That's a good point! I hadn't Thought of that.. I suppose it is possible and I haven't seen anything on the OS about them signing so I guess we don't know...

They could but Staunton was confirmed in the handbook. Guess Aribo could still be on trial though.

Free transfer come Jan ...
Grow up man
It actually wouldn't surprise me, a la Morrison. Duchatelet doesn't like paying players who aren't playing, that's been quite evident.
My point is Jackson is only going to play cup matches he is not going to dis lodge Cousins Ba or Kashi in mid ..... He himself will most likely come jan want to play more games so I expect S a gesture for his service to the club they will let him go on a free
Kashi's efforts and enthusiasm will see him pick up suspensions, if Jackson goes who would take that spot on the bench cos even if Ceballos is ahead of him too, thats still a spot we're missing.
We may have players who are good enough for the Squad yet cant make the bench but isnt that what we want, isnt that where our weakness has been these last few years?
He has the talent, even had a purple patch in the prem with Newcastle a few seasons back. Just rarely seems arsed to put himself about, which is a shame as that's his real strength.
I'm not disagreeing with anything anyone has said above re: Jacko. I just think he'll want to get game time and ask for a loan. I'm not saying we won't miss him, not saying he can't add to our game both on and off the pitch, just wouldn't be surprised if his desire to play and make the most of his last few seasons were a priority for him
In my opinion jacko won't leave the club unless dragged kicking and screaming! You need four CMs over the course of a season.. Ceballos is seen more as a winger type probably as back up to JBG so I wouldn't count him. Diarra looks set to be playing CB for most if not all the season so I wouldn't count him.
That leaves Cousins/Ba as box to box options and Kashi/Jacko as holding options.
If Kashi gets injured he will come in and do a good job for us no doubt!
Luzon likes to rotate so don't kid yourself he won't get any game time!!!
Last year we had Cousins Buyers Jacko and Coq as CMs. When the Coq got recalled we were suddenly very short on CMs...
Jacko will not be leaving and he still has a role toat as a squad player. Rotation/cover at the very least!
All of this is without his off the field influence in the Andy Hughes role.
AA is a 10 not a CM so comparisons with Jacko are pointless, AA was one of the most technically gifted players we have had in the last 10 seasons and I would not mind him back
Most technically gifted! You have to be joking.
Who would you say has been more technically gifted in the last ten years? Genuinely interested, your shock seems to imply you can think of loads and loads. There's Andy Reid, Jerome Thomas if you're feeling generous and Darren Ambrose if you're feeling like a debate but other than that I'm struggling
Not forgetting a certain JBG. Still, I agree, Astrit was one of our more technically gifted players.

Can't believe I just agreed with Colin...
He's still the club captain and having him around will be doing far more for the squad than some realise.
He will be staying until next summer, at least.
