Can see Dunkley leaving, I know he was injured towards the end of last season but we were very quick to get a couple more striking options in. Hopefully he'll stay.
I think Dunks will certainly give it another season, knowing players like Bunting and Koriya well and having links with the management. One his main reasons for joining AFC was the location due to him living in n'ton and only training once a week

Obviously we are all disappointed with the news that Alfie won't be returning. But we don't know the full story, and have to trust Andy's judgement.

To be honest I'm not surprised he won't be back, having heard a few whispers earlier in the season.

Also going by some comments from Alfie on twitter, he wasn't happy for a while, I just hope he uses his head (unlike a certain striker last season) and doesn't 'join those who won't be named' down the road.

It's completely up to him, personally I don't think turning down a chance at Step 4 for a team who narrowly missed out on promotion last season would be a good example of "using his head". I'd still wish him luck if he went to K*ttering.

Me too - good luck to Alfie wherever he goes.

I think it's quite a compliment to our coaching/scouting network that KTFC appear to be regularly monitoring our players so they can snap them up when available (Jake, Dent, now Liburd & possibly Alfie, maybe others that have slipped mind). Proves we've been making some good acquisitions.

Be interesting to see if Alfie does get a chance at Step 4, considering he's spent 1 and a bit of his last 2 seasons playing at step 6. Especially if it's a team who have the financial backing to build a strong squad of Step 4/3 personnel.

While on the subject, really hope Jake's recovery is going well. Horrible to see any player at this level unable to play through such an injury. A good player who, judging from our 12/13 season, loves playing.

Delighted with the signing of Turner, but really gutted about Scott Joseph. Hopefully we'll see him back in the future because he was very talented.

Overall we've got to be pleased with the retained list though, very pleased we've kept the players we have done. Having Ashton and Henderson from day one is really going to benefit us
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

I agree, I thought Scott had a lot of potential. Shame :-(

He could do better than K*ttering in my opinion.

Don`t think he could be away from The Flamingo any longer, they were after all a strike partnership made in heaven, best of luck to him wherever he ends up, but looks like we have moved on quickly with the signing of JT.
