No fanfare for Brad Collins? Really dropped the ball with that one....

 

[larry_david]

I thought that Jack James lad was about to be poached by Chelsea last year? Wonder what's happened there

Looks like we've taken an extension on Perry and a few other younger lot. Agree with the rest who have gone

Does that mean we have to buy him or just the option to

 

[Skybluecov1]

Surprised about Yearn as was told he was highly rated within the club. Could be down to our success that a few of the young lads will not get a look in within the first team.

Don't sweat, he is going to be City's player on July 2nd.

Saved the Casemiro pen in all fairness - had us all dreaming for 5 minutes

Probably preferred his loan option as a base to expand his career from?

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Tionne Critchlow-Woyo - what a fine name

 

[wingy]

Success is a popular name but not around here it seems.

 

[PVA]

The wording in the Onyeka part is a bit strange

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Tionne Critchlow-Woyo - what a fine name

Tionne Critchlow baby
Tionne Crithclow-Woyo

 

[Captain Dart]

Reading between the lines I think it means Doug's still negotiating his CCFC contract.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Hardly, making a big deal out of nothing

 

[ovduk78]

Maybe they are having second thoughts after reading the ramblings of a lunatic on here

Needs a proper statement thanking Jamie Allen for his contribution during his time here.

Maybe something like this one, you daft twat.

 

[Shannerz]

That's actually a really nice statement.

 

[Cally Fedora]

List as expected really. Be interesting to see the approach with Andrews

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Di Trolololol still on the books. He must be about 40 now. Is he even real?

I had the same thought about him.

 

[CovRes]

Does anyone know why they've split the list into U24 and 24 and over? There's no significance to that age is there?

Got him in from an Italian bot farm.

 

[Bad Boy]

Do most people think Bassette is done here or is there a chance of redemption?

Thoughts?

That reads as an option, which (at the risk of getting pilloried) I actually wouldn’t be offended if we didn’t exercise.

Makes Markelo and KKH feel better
