    Any news on Sichenje, Kelman, Edwards?

    i hate the silence on injuries at times.
    I saw Edwards training at Sparrows Lane on Saturday, my boy was playing there Brighton u16. Think I might have seen Alli as well, but didn't know who he was at the time

    Running or with a ball?

    Do we think there’s money there to buy two quality CMs, or are we scratching round for a freebie and a loan in that area to cover the two we need?

    At this stage I'm feeling like we'll see one fee spent and another premier League loan for the middle of the park, but who can say with any confidence

    It’s rapidly becoming quite a naive perspective, but my expectation would be around £8m of transfer spend remaining (minimum) and that we can drop that on two real upgrades in midfield.

    He was running at the time, there were balls in the vicinity :)

    Surprised there's been no news/updates on Fevrier?

    Would imagine we could get him and I for one would definitely have him back

    I think it was mainly Karl Robinson who was bigging up Ben Reeves. 

    Charlie Kirk was indeed eagerly anticipated. Was he the biggest let-down in our club's history?

    McGrandles has largely fulfilled expectations, just not with us.
    Barry Endean will take some beating.
    That's true!
    Not if you were the defender marking him

    Personally think the biggest upgrade we’ve made so far is switching to 4231 and actually having the players to do it now
    Might as well be 631 after watching the Wimbledon game.

    Danny Imray being tipped to join Wrexham for £5 Million. Gutted as I hoped he might be an option.

    Is that realistic as we’ve just signed Alli?

    I wouldn’t mind him coming back either but I think we’re ok now in the wide department, it’s the midfield that needs strengthening.

    Charlton fan supposedly as well, but we aren't dropping 5m on a right back 😂. Good luck to him.

    They said that Sichenje is very close , Kelman if no reaction should be available for Derby .. Edwards your looking at middle Sept/Oct 
    I heard that Kelman had an operation on his shoulder, so could be September time.
    That’s not what management team said after Saturday game … their  giving it time to settle down and heal … if still problems could lead to an operation but there hopeful it won’t

    Where have Valley Locals "valuable" contributions gone?

    What was the final straw?

    That sounds risky to me, could easy pop again and then we are back to square one.

    Any news on Lloyd Jones’ contract? Really don’t want to be spending some of whatever’s left on a new CB

    I don't think a L1 signing can ever be anything close to the biggest let-down in our history. We signed players who were supposed to be helping us progress that set in motion our relegation from the Premier League into L1, Charlie Kirk doesn't even register on the disappointment-o-meter

    Update is that he runs like a fridge

    Dobson is not what we need. He was not a creative midfield player.
    Does Dobson walk into this midfield? Of course he does and therefore is what we need. Need a winner in midfield and someone creative, those two planks in midfield offer very little

    Karl Robinson believed Aaron Barnes (remember him? nice bloke actually) would play for England.
