That is not Louis Jones on that FB post!

Get Matty Lund back…seen training at the PFA pre-season camp for those without a club.

I’d be disappointed if the new keeper was brought in as a bit of an unknown trialist. Probably the most important signing this close season, ideally needs to be someone with a decent amount of experience…or failing that a highly rated youngster on loan from a Prem/Champ club.

At least six trialists in that photo!

Why would we need 5 centre backs? Agree with the rest though.

[BigLeftToe]

Wasn’t at the Buxton game he played against us so can’t comment personally, but just going from his own comments in his video interview he doesn’t particularly seem to be the defensive, ball winning midfielder that our squad is crying out for.

[BigLeftToe]

Rowley as mentioned above. The one that sticks out though is Sam Winnall, he was a trialist that didn’t turn out too badly for us! Deon Burton also signed that season after a trial and he was a class act (without scoring many).

At the other end of the spectrum I still can’t quite get my head around the decision to sign Kenan Dunnwald-Turan after his trial.

A player yet to start a game at National League level being called up to represent one of the biggest footballing nations in Africa!? Don’t think we have anything to worry about there!

[BigLeftToe]

If Maxi doesn’t re-sign then he’ll definitely need replacing. Don’t fancy Evans and Boyce alongside each other all season.

Other than that, a keeper and dominant midfielder are obvious needs. Don’t particularly like the right back situation either, Starbuck was barely ready to be starting games in NLN and we won’t see Barrows on the pitch until some point next year.

Seven on the bench this coming season too, we currently can’t fill it as we only have 17 players on the books and one of those is crocked.

[BigLeftToe]

Goalkeeper, Clunan’s replacement and a CB (Kouogun resigning or a replacement) are the priority. Still feel we could do with a proper out and out left winger, don’t like it when Beestin is played there and both Roberts and Carlton are better on the right. Starbuck isn’t good enough (yet!) to be our starting right back so we need someone else there too.

Roberts again olé, olé!

[BigLeftToe]

I think Kings Lynn turned full time after he left them to join us. So if he’s returning there I’d definitely be more inclined to say it’s for family reasons as opposed to getting back into the accounting game.

[BigLeftToe]

Notts County have snapped up Kouhyar. If League 2 playoff contenders are signing mid-to-late 20 year old NLN wingers then there’s fat chance in hell that we’re going to hang onto Roberts.

[BigLeftToe]

Jake Eastwood released by the Cods. Thought he did quite well when he was on loan here.

[BigLeftToe]

He was very good last season, but if being honest I think we need better than Clunan if we’re to hold our own in midfield in the NL.

What on earth was the Turan signing all about? 2 year deal based on what? Very strange.

Worst bit about it was that we had him in on trial first and he played at least one friendly that I can remember. Obviously impressed someone at the club!

[BigLeftToe]

Dec clearly knows where the back of net is. Some of those runs in behind and finishes were Hooper-esque. Just got to hope he can do the biz at a higher level!

Rene Artois

Well happy with that, if not also a tad surprised. We’re definitely a better team when he’s in it…would have been champions if he didn’t get injured!

Played as an attacking midfielder/striker in our youth team. Probably more a Beestin replacement if he doesn’t end up signing a new contract.

Just posted a Declan Howe thread in a similar vein before seeing this!

[BigLeftToe]

Would rather we tried for Kouhyar anyway, who they have released.

[BigLeftToe]

You’d like to think being fan favourites and almost guaranteed starters would help sway their decisions. But they’re professionals with a short career and will probably follow the money (which I don’t blame them for…it’s what most likely brought them here in the first place!).

[BigLeftToe]

I’m pretty sure that Michelle has also stated that we will now only be offering out 1 year deals??

[BigLeftToe]

Anyone’s guess really. I remain hopeful that the better players will get respectable offers and stay, especially given that Evans and Scales have both already signed new contracts this season under the new regime.

The only ones I’d actually be disappointed with if they left are Clunan, Fitz, Maxi, Roberts and Whitehall.

[BigLeftToe]

If it was, then so be it. Hopefully those 650 had a good night with no harm done to the club financially.

Nope, not yet anyway.

Oh give it a rest ffs. The event is literally a couple of hours into its biggest night…why are you so obsessed Rene?

[BigLeftToe]

I’ve really liked Rowley so far, rarely gives the ball away, puts his foot in and can drive forward with the ball. Just needs to add a few more goals to his game, think he’s only got the one this season.

Not many there from what I have seen, but a certain short term former PM was snapped by Tom Zanetti at the ground. WTF?

I guess she’s supposed to be living in a dark cave for the rest of her living days?
