- Close to concluding a deal for Jamie Cook
- Huke set to sign a new deal.
- Another defender could sign this week.
- Feeling positive about getting Mark Byrne back.

Wow, that all sounds very positive.

Particularly the last comment!


I imagine if all these deals were to go through, that'd be pretty much the whole squad complete? Well, maybe apart from an out and out goalscoring striker, but obviously it's bloody hard to find one of those.

Sounds good!

Would be great if Byrne returns!

Cant wait for the new season!!!!!

Shane Huke looks a better player at centre-half, so with Downer gone, he'll fit in there a treat!

If we did get him, I would have thought he'd take over Terry's role. Either way it's good to have some varsatility in the squad.

Non league paper at the weekend said that Osano will be moved to centre half as JE felt he played better there last season.

These words... I like them.

if half of them come in id be happy

Robinson Stuart Osano Corcoran then, with Huke in midfield? Add Porter, Power and maybe *crosses fingers, toes and testicles* Byrne and we are sawwwwted.

im thinking:-

Roberts
NewRightBack Osano Stuart Robinson
Porter Power Keehan
O'Connor Tomlin
Charles

with the likes of Johnson, Corcoran, Day, McDonald, Shariff, Farrell, Huke to provide back-up.

throw in Byrne (not quite sure where!) and we look ok.
