Wouldn’t be a surprise but would be a bit of a shame if Berry does go, we do have a young squad and he’s 33 and very experienced so probably a good character to have around the place at the very worst
True but at his stage of his career he might want games. I don’t blame him if he does.
Jones will only let Berry go if he's absolutely adamant on the move, he's one where his on the pitch influence isn't anywhere near as great as his influence in training and in the team setting
If it’s true and Fukuda is incoming at least he is fully match fit. Might take a week or two of adjustment but he’s ready in terms of fitness. I wonder if he speaks English ?
No, but NJ is making the squad speak Japanese.
That's the reason why Tracey Leaburn left. She said it was a step to far forcing Miles to speak Japanese.
Luke Berry linked with Luton on loan this morning ??
I can see that, given he's now third choice in that 10 role.
I know I'm relatively alone in this, but I don't think he was that great last season, which may be why we brought in two players. And he'll offer less in the Champ than L1.
I still think he could be useful from the bench if we need a goal. Scoring goals is our biggest challenge so I’d maybe want to keep him around. But also wouldn’t be that against him leaving now I’ve seen what Carey can do and now that Fullah is coming through
I think Fullah showing such promise has changed that situation - he has a genuine chance of contention, off the bench at least - which means Berry is probably out on the verges now.
It would be stupid to let a season pro like Berry, who had a decent scoring record, leave & replace him with a youngster with no experience.

Neither of them are really replacing anybody though. Carey and Knibbs both play there, they will be the main pair in rotation for that spot. Berry and Fullah would both be competing to be the third choice at best. Berry probably wants to be playing as much as possible, Fullah still can learn and develop purely from training/interacting with the senior squad.
We don't need both, and Berry is probably the more likely to get a substantive move.
Surely we need a LWB and RWB in reserve? I can't see how we prioritise one over the other.
Ideally yes but I think RWB is the priority as we have Bell who can play LWB with Gillesphey at LCB. Moving Ramsay is a similar option on the right but he's done so well at RCB that it would weaken us more in my opinion.
You could put forward the same Ramsay argument for Bell. We're nearer to a RWB fill-in with Rankin-Costello than we have a LWB. It's going to be interesting!
Where's the Berry rumour come from? Wouldn't be surprised if he did move on , I'd like to see long term how Apter looks as a 10 if we can bring in an RWB

It's come from Ronnie Moore...
Was hoping someone would provide a FLW/Football Insider or even a Luton forum link (their forum is a mess to navigate)

It came from a Luton site on instragram .. with supporters that commented 100% in favour said they never replaced him

Depends how highly the club rate that youngster.
It would also be stupid to not give a young player they rate highly and feel is ready a chance.

Carey and Knibbs play in the same position as Berry, Knibbs has already scored from the bench

That must have been some shot from knibbs 🤔
.... & Probably against the rules of the game but with refs these days who knows ?

We're not scoring enough goals atm so letting a recognised scorer from midfield leave is pretty dumb imo.

I think he wasn't on the bench on Saturday, as he'll start on Tuesday.
Probably won’t even start over Knibbs JRC and Anderson. Like Berry but when he’s 3rd choice CAM on big wages and will likely be going end of the season makes sense to potentially move him on

We signed Carey and Knibbs in Berry’s position for a reason.
