I heard Dabo has been training with us all summer. Surely a contract heavily loaded with a pay as you play emphasis is worth it. Him and Edun would be quality full backs imo.
Dabo, Edun, Ness and Jones must be the shortest names we've had for a back four?
Seen all three league games and still much more optimistic about this season than the last few. No doubt we need a few quality additions but the basis of a good team for this league is here just need the injured to return and the new signings to arrive. COYR

I think it’s going to take three transfer windows to sort out our squad. Our recruitment this window in terms of quality is quite decent but in terms of depth it’s way deficient. I have little or no confidence in our defence at the moment. Edun looks a good addition and Jones still unknown but the rest look to me to be mid table. Hector has gone backwards as far as I can see and Ness appears to have done the same. We need to address the defence before we can hope of progressing up the table. I’m already resigned to it not being this season.
Where is Trivante ? You’d have thought if he was heading our way he’d have pitched up somewhere in the news or at least here on the rumours thread. Perhaps Italy is where he’s off to.
Was in the match day squad, just two League games less than Ryan Inniss last year.
If he's properly rotated with Asiimwe there shouldn't be an issue
But only completed 90mins 14 times in the league, either being subbed on or off in the others. If you have to reserve a substitution for Sess every game hes available, that will limit tactical and forced injury choices.
But do we know why he was substituted, perhaps just tactical, like all other players experience?

You rarely get 3 windows to build a team at this level, as if you don't go up then your better players get picked off by higher clubs.
If he somehow passes it a month on, it'll hopefully be because he had a minor issue that wasn't relevant. (If so surely we should have signed him then).
Believe so. Interesting if he has been training with us though as we'd have a chance to see how he bounces back from an injury before we sign which must be quite unusual

If he failed a medical with us it will mean they couldn’t find a pulse or he has no legs or something similar. Aneke twice passed medical with us.

Sess was part of a shit defence last season, is carrying a longer term issue and has had no pre season. I don't think he's someone we should be looking at unless the wages are paltry.
Ness was part of that shit defence too and was crocked for 3 months.
AMB wasn't crocked but was also part of that shit defence.
If we based everything on last season we'd need to sign another 10 players
Ness played well up until his injury, even if the overall defence wasn’t always great. The Players Marks thread does not lie! However, he’s still very inexperienced, especially for a CB. I’d rate him as 6.5er at the moment, with potential to improve to 7 or 7.5. I think we need to sign an experienced physical 7.5 or 8 type player who starts every game, and can lead the defence.
none of those seem to be in favour and Payne and Kirk are quite honestly taking the piss and robbing a living if there earning that. Personally think these are the most likely suspects to be shipped out.
if those are correct then jesus we are (were) a total shower of shit......those salaries are a joke for those players (actually still a joke if they were 50% under those declared)

A squad is more than 11 players.
