It will be just a workout. Probably a Premier league side wanting to give their players a physical test against lower league opposition.

In fairness he looked alright when he first arrived, just faded badly. Incidentally, Hussey is also at Cheltenham.

It't not just the parachute payments, relegated teams get a 1 season grace period before they have to comply with the FFP rules for the division so last year Sunderland didn't have to comply with the wages cap (x% of turnover) but this season they will.

Clarke was amazing by comparison to Horrordale. How we ever recouped a fee for him I shall never know.

Weird that Addai retweeted it but hasn't tweeted anything about going out on loan?

Jordan Clarke is still playing for Scunthorpe as far as I know. Aaron Phillips and Billy Daniels are both at Kidderminster. Connor Thomas is at Cheltenham.

Yeah was just reading that, sounds like it might be quite nasty. Now makes more sense that we might be looking to bring in some loan cover.

I don't disagree, i just think hes no longer our player so i'm not really fussed where he goes.

Think it was made fairly clear that the contract offer was no longer on the table

Ideally yes, but things change rapidly in football. It appeared nailed on that he was going to Luton but for whatever reason that didn't happen. His agent will have been whispering in his ear too.

He might not have the choice? Clearly has had contact with championship teams but if a contract hasn't materialised he has to play somewhere.

Don't really care now that his contract with us has expired. He's a free agent, where ever he ends up now is his own business. Would be different if he was under contract but he isn't so time to move on.

Surely if that was the case we'd just change formation and play Shipley in a midfield 3? Given how skinny we are at right back and potentially needing reinforcements up top i just don't see another winger as a priority. That said, it doesn't look as though we will need lots of loans this season...

True, but we already have Jobello, Kastaneer and Wakefield as recognised wingers plus Jones to return at some point. Add in to that various players who can play on the wings if required and a number of promising looking wingers in the u23's..... do we really want to use a loan spot for another...

He's another winger isn't he?

Leon McKenzie cost us a million quid and returned just 12 goals over 62 appearances. Not sure it makes him our worst ever signing but he wasn't good value whichever way you look at it.

I think it's definitely the latter. If he was genuinely in the first team picture we would be offering him more than a 1 year deal wouldn't we? It's not as of he's an unknown quantity.

Why is he suddenly getting the nod ahead of Bremang when he has barely played for the u23s?

No guarantee we could join the National League, we'd have to apply

Don't see why not, most have played some form of competitive football, even if it's been at a lower level and will have been with the club and around the first team for a good period of time. Obviously not all of them will make it but I would expect a good proportion of them to.
