Garner's said Chuks should be fine, was taken off as a precaution.
It’s of course good news but Chuks has had a close season to rest and recuperate and a few weeks training and medical attention to hone his fitness yet he’s still needed being withdrawn. It doesn’t auger that well does it ?
Was at the Valley tonight. I saw what looked like a player (certainly build and athletic looking) and agent leave the reception area, shake hands in the car park before leaving. Could have sworn I heard the guy (I assume was a player) say see you on Saturday, but didn’t recognise him which is pretty damn frustrating. If we do sign what I assume was a prospective or new signing, he was of black heritage and I reckon between 6-6’3”. I tried to take a photo, but quite frankly bottled it 🤦🏻♂️
The idea that we can rely on Stockley, a semi crock Aneke and the totally untested Leaburn, backed up by CBT and Kirk/DJ as our 5/6 main goalscorers as some people are suggesting is frankly delusional. We will be very lucky to get 30 goals between the 5/6 of them. And that is before you even factor in at least one serious injury which comes along regularly And you might get 10 more, apart from penalties, from whichever 2 attacking mids you pick from Fraser, Gilbey, Payne etc. Not enough goals in this squad.

No, I wonder what the dynamic is with him within the squad, is everyone just professional and accept it?, or is there a feeling he gets special treatment? Personality wise he seems a lovely well liked fella. The guy must be shit scared to run and jump!! You would have thought the medical team would have dealt with it by now.

It's so obvious that I can't believe we're not looking to bring in at least one more attacking player, whether that's a striker, winger or both.
Garner said 2 or 3 more, I feel whether he wants to bring in a LB or CB depends on how highly he rates Clayden and Deji/Ness.

Does it or does it reflect on the fact he can't have everything at once? What do you need least?
The middle age woman (Mrs Adams) who lives at number 38 and who's husband left her for her Brother, had a Pizza delivered at 12 midnight last Tuesday when I was doing my stint at neighbourhood watch; I noticed the 12 inch and twisted Dough balls. He said hello and he went inside and there was groaning coming out of the window within 5 minutes. I'm not being judgemental but you really shouldn't eat that late at night and not expect to get indigestion.
A former loan player, who probably had the worst month of his career with us before.....
Scott Sinclaire is a name I heard we have an interest in. Not close though.
That's Left field. I had to check he hadn't retired, but at 33 there would be better options for him to finish his career and enjoy a decent lifestyle. The USA with its slower pace for an aging wide man.
Scott Sinclair's other half is Model and occasional actress Helen Flanagan who is now a WAG of 3. Helen befriended my daughter when they were nurses on Holby city.

Garner’s full quote below for context. He calls out one player he’s been working on “for a long time” then hints at one or two more while making sure the balance of the squad is right for the long season ahead.
To me, that reads like we are still targeting three holes, including up front and the left side of defence.

Nothing wrong with a couple of old heads at the end of the window to give depth, takes some pressure off the kids as well.
Not advocating for SS but because we have got it wrong in the past doesn't make it an invalid option.

There's no business like show business....
Jayden Stockley and Scott Sinclair were at Preston together in 2020.
Just saying.
Unusual, but each to their own.
