  • That’s quite some clear out

  • GK: Ashley Maynard-Brewer, Joe Wollacott
    RB: Mandela Egbo, NEW
    CB: Zach Mitchell, Lucas Ness, NEW, NEW
    LB: NEW, NEW
    CM: George Dobson, Scott Fraser, NEW, NEW
    W: Jack Payne, Corey Blackett-Taylor, Tyreece Campbell, NEW
    ST: Chuks Aneke, Daniel Kanu, Miles Leaburn, NEW

    Is how I see it, with Hector being one of the CB's if he signs, Thomas becoming the new Clare utility player as backup left back, and Henry replacing Morgan as the youngster midfielder in the squad, leaving us to sign a minimum of 6 players to have a squad, however I'd want to sign another 3 and send Kanu, Henry and Mitchell out on loans
  • Disappointed to see Clare and Morgan go - both decent squad players at this level. We have some relatively poor players returning from loan.
    Clare I tend to agree, but not that gutted, and it may have been his choice if he wants to play in midfield.

    Morgan I think if it's him or McGrandles I'd be more inclined to go with McGrandles and see if Cambridge fans are right.

    Interesting it's a big clearout, could definitely go either way depending on the quality of any replacements.
  • I haven't included any of the loanees coming back as I believe they'll all be moved on again one way or another
  • I must confess to being a little surprised at Sean Clare leaving, as he seemed to tick the box as able to step in and cover several positions/formation changes. Seemed to be the ideal 'Curbs-type' utility player.

    And Terell Thomas staying, despite his late run of games of decent form. 

    Maybe it was a choice between Clare and Thomas ..... with Thomas seeming more specialist/better match concentration?





  • I do hope part of Dean's masterplan is to to award Megarider bus tickets to Jaiyesimi,  Kirk, Lavelle and McGrandles? Surely. 
  • Just put Kirk, DJ and Lavelle on the transfer list and all looks good
  • Of the in-contract players, I believe we'll see a number of them moved on.

    Given how many poor signings we've made I hope somebody sorts out the recruitment. So many players have underperformed or were poorly scouted. Kirk, Jaiyesimi, Payne, Gilbey etc the list is endless...

  • And then there is dear old Chuks ........ 
  • I think you can look at this in a couple of ways. Yes, well pleased with the clear out of players who aren't good enough. Morgan, Innis, Clare etc. But we’re still going into the new season on operation break even. Those positions are going to be taken up by some of the emerging talent. In other words, cheaper options. Personally, I can’t see us spending any money unless the takeover goes through and as it stands Sandgaard is dragging his heels. The future doesn’t look bright
  • Happy with that. Wish them good luck elsewhere

    I see as a good thing. If it was cheaper options then innis would of been kept over hector 
  • Very different to what I heard but positive as it suggests we want to do a proper rebuild.

    Of the three offered a contract only Hector could expect to be a regular.

    Thomas has worked his way back into the squad but would likely be a squad player, assuming TS/new owners don't insist on Mitchell, Ness and Elerewe being next in line. Three senior CBs backed up by those three should be the minimum.

    Given Henry's lack of game time he's seen as a prospect and I think we'll be aiming to send him on loan - ideally L2, if not back to the NL.

    I didn't put together an updated squad list in January but will look to do so now this is out.

    It's early days yet ..... Holden has made a judgment call not only on ability, but character and mental strength too I would imagine.

    Managers try to make a team in their own image. He'll be looking for players with the right temperament, drive and fitness.

    Good luck to him but good that Morgan has moved on. Deeply frustrating player that didn’t do it anywhere near enough. 
    Hope he does well wherever he ends up of course. 
    A Scott Wagstaff type career lies ahead...
