Weird that they would make Ness and Fraser do the name video, but then bin them off for some arbitrary number one.
I think it’s a bit harsh on Ness not to give him a number . Not fussed about the other guy .
Not really. It's pretty clear that neither are really part of the plan any more, it's hardly likely to have come as much of a shock. Giving him a number and then binning him off would probably be worse really.
Am I right in seeing Stephen humphreys is a free agent still after leaving Wigan? Surely worth a kermorgant style punt?
We don’t have room for another striker with Dixon and possibly Hylton joining the 6 we already have (including Campbell).
Can't help thinking that Hylton would be a waste of a squad place. We are in much greater need of a creative, attacking midfielder if there's a squad place and enough budget going.
Hylton, It's been years since we had a really nasty guy to play for us that the other 23 clubs absolutely hate.
Killer obviously, McKenzie, Melrose, Costa, Mills pre-xmas, Bowyer? Any more?
Jorge Costa…..you must be joking. I never saw him being nasty…..tough and ruthless yes but all in all he would play a honest clean game….of the highest class too I may add. In my time I’ve seen some great centre halves wearing an Addick shirt but he was without doubt my all time favourite. Read the game so well and organised the back line like no other I’ve ever seen…..made Jonathan Fortune into one hell of a player during their time together.

Perhaps we might see a short-term deal for Hylton to provide a bit of extra cover while Leaburn finishes his rehabilitation.
Exactly my point, Exiled.
If Hylton should sign, surely he'll be here primarily for a coaching role but capable of playing from the bench occasionally as emergency cover from the bench in the short term. Just as insurance to keep the team shape and game plan intact.
Otherwise why would he still be here and involved in all the pre-season friendlies?
2+2 = 5
Think the idea is Hylton will probably be a player coach, so won't count towards our playing staff financials. Derby did the same with Wayne Rooney and that was how they managed to pay him his squillions. We would have an experienced body to step in in the event of an injury crisis, as well as a good role model to help the development of our young strikers.
This is something that we probably should've done with Jason Pearce...
With Hull just signing a new first team keeper - i wonder if it frees up Thimothee Lo-Tutala who had a really great run in the all conquering Doncaster team second half of last season - has a very good pedigree (Spurs, France Youth teams)
With Bromley in League Two now surely we should think about sending 1 or 2 players on loan to them as logistics wise it will suit everybody.
Only really Asiimwe would suit that though. The other young players are either too good for L2/not ready for L2. Maybe AMB but Jones clearly likes having 3 senior keepers around

Kanu would suit them and turn him into a serious 1st team prospect.
Really can't see us getting a keeper of any worth in now. Who's going to let a decent keeper leave this late in the piece?
It's why when most clubs start a rebuild they get the keeper they want in at the start. It's usually one of the first signings they make. The fact we haven't been able to attract one is a bit of a concern
My take is Hylton is one of Nathan Jones' old mates and I believe he is doing him a favour by giving him game time. He would still score goals in league 2 and probably league 1 but I'd be very surprised if we gave him any sort of contract

Costa used to regularly give a forward a little knee to the back of the thigh to let him know who was boss.

Not unless we are buying another striker . We cannot afford to let him go .
What people forget about AMB is for a keeper, he is still at an age where he can make jumps. There is no guarantee, but I think some people write him off a bit too easily.

He played 32 times for Northampton over the last two seasons scoring 0.

Which absolutely would have been the case for us if things had gone to plan. It's not like anyone (fan or club) looked at Isted and AMB and thought "yep that'll do nicely." We've been pursuing an experienced, quality GK all summer.
It's definitely getting a bit concerning that we still haven't succeeded but to play Devil's Advocate that might be because of how high we've been aiming in that regard.

He already is, he’ll get plenty of game time for us this season.

Bodes well. This jobs for the boys tendency in NJ is not his best attribute

Well I would hope he could jump, being a keeper and all

How many strikers do we need? We’ve already got six!

If we were to let Kanu go, then we’d need another , given Godden is 33, Leaburn and Aneke are often injured , Tyreece is totally unproven , albeit electric in pre season and Ahadme (and Kanu) have had one season each in first team squads.

There weren't many witnesses as it took place away at Reading in a Bristol Street Motors tie.
Strange but true.
