Out : Isted,AMB,Ness, Edun, Asiimwe (loan),Henry,Fraser (mutual termination late in the window), Mbick (Loan),Casey (Loan), Rylah (Loan)
Think thats bang on but we need 1 more striker possibly a loan as we have lost May/Ladapo/Wickham from what we had and only got 2 in.
chuks and leaburn we are unsure on fitness and availability
Unsure about having six senior forwards competing for two places in the team… feels like too many. Hopefully our new fitness and conditioning will be enough to get more minutes out of Chuks and Leaburn going forward.
Tbh i feel like Kanu being sent out on loan and get 90 mins week in week out will benefit him at least until jan
i rate him and he works hard but not sure he is what we need right now if we are to push for promotion especially if we get injuries
Aren’t Jones teams built around attacking wingbacks to give the width?
Then they had better be trained to put decent crosses in because last season the wingbacks / wingers were next to useless.
And whilst they're at it they'd better train the midfield (just Berry at this stage) to shoot as again last season they couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo.
Apart from the the recruitment has gone swimmingly.

I thought Smalls crossing ability was pretty decent
Going by the Shrewsbury game, NJ’s post match comments about “the next phase” and the signings so far, it looks to me as if it will be his staple 4 diamond 2 as the base set up. Width from FB’s pushing by forward, DM dropping in to create a three on turnover.
With Ahadme signing we will have the majority of signings done before our first friendly. And they look like they give us a significant upgraded squad compared to last season. Well done Jones. 👏
I’d love to be an optimist but I really don't see this .
Isn't it a Jamaican from the Mount Pleasant partnership that we're close to signing as well, going by the comments from the owners? - I thought that was the one Swisdom was raving about?
No Swisdom said there was one from Mount Pleasant and another I believe
We are keen on someone who is not from the Mount Pleasant academy but we are not the only ones keen. We do hopefully have a slight advantage on some teams. I'm not going to get too excited but if we do sign him it could be a wild ride
Not seen anything of Costa so will try to take a look tomorrow

We probably need three more CMs if that’s his plan

could see him getting 16+ for us

Otherwise yeah Igor. Maybe Naby Sarr.
