Someone on Twitter has said we’re interested in Sol Bamba and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing?!?! Mendez-Laing would be a beast at this level, as would Bamba but can’t see us paying big wages though.
Wasn’t Mendez-Laing sacked first some proper weird reason? Like rumoured to be offering money to fight people in car parks? He’ll fit right in down here with Makro round the corner

Bamba is 36 so absolutely out of our strategy. Mendez-Laing would be a coup, loved watching him play for a few years now but very unlikely, someone like Birmingham or Blackpool could probably offer more.

Mendez Laing is such a weird footballer. I haven’t seen him much but every time I have he seems like a quality winger.
Yet he’s never really been talked about by the media. I don’t get what is going on there because he does seem to have a lot of talent and great physical attributes.

Probably what Cawley was replying too. Both non starters & wouldnt want them here anyway.
No worries about a lack of height in the team this year! Is NAs tactics all about overpowering the opposition?
Doubt it's the primary tactic but in this league having that kind of physicality is probably no bad thing. A lot of the trouble came last season when we lacked physical brute strength and got brushed aside.
When we went back to using Stockley as a target man/battering ram it worked. Wasn't pretty... But worked.
Had a bit of a read up on Kyle Edwards. West Brom fans rate him better than Leko and saw him as a starter this season, in a team relegated from the top flight. Would be a huge coup if we can get him.
Is there any truth in the rumour he’s training with us?
Edwards made 5 appearances in the Premier League last year, and 30 appearances in their Championship promotion team the year before. I am surprised he needs a trial tbh - just sign him up.

Hopefully the start of a busy week
Only thing for me is why sign a young player but only a 2 year deal. Surprised it's not longer tbh.
Good luck Sean

Two defenders (left back, right centre back), two wingers and a solid Stockley back-up.
