Surely needing an extra CB would depend on how we want to set up? If a manager comes in and doesn't want 3 at the back, doesn't that leave us rather overstocked in that area? Not that our CBs have been anywhere near good enough, just seems strange.
would allow Elerewe & Mitchell to go on much needed NL loans
is an NL Loan the best they could fetch? if we are seeing them as good enough to be in and around the first team, surely we should be looking at a L2 Level loan for them?

The preference of sending them to the NL is that we can recall them outside of the transfer windows if we had an injury or suspension crisis. If they go to L2 we can only recall in January. So it is about weighing up that risk.
Just for clarity, can I confirm that that’s Etete in the pic above and I guess the suggestion is he isn’t coming?
After riding high on calling the Edun move and then having an absolute nightmare when sharing I heard that Nombe bid had been accepted, (even stupidly taking on Rich Cawley after he denied it & he was right) I am extremely cautious when posting about transfers (nothing to do with people on here, more I don't want to look silly when some things are wrong/don't happen) I did hear he was joining but again, I am not 100% convinced as the Nombe one has broken my trust. Dubai seems to be getting good info at the moment so I would be more inclined to see what he says.
I am suspicious of bringing in more young players in to our already too young squad but Etete seems the safest bet based on his history of playing with Alfie May, real shame if the deal is not able to happen.

That’s fair enough. I think Dubai and redbuttle are suggesting it’s another player. I think there’s always a lot of moving pieces and people are hearing about pieces which may not sign but we’ve still spoken to.

The best place for Mitchell is here, playing the micky mouse cup games and for our u21s. If it's not we need to abolish the U21s.

Think Elerewe could do L2 I was just thinking that NL can be done outside the window and allows for recalls due to first team injury
I mean Hector was very good last year, his form has fallen off a cliff but i wouldn't write him off yet.
Started casually, improved ,peaked then tailed off last season for me. Seems to have started this season where he left off
Struts around like its beneath him. Made the cock up against PV then started hitting tackles with the aggression and desire required. I hope he isn't playing within himself through fear of injury.
Interesting one that could allow for an out. Colchester have lost their Southampton loanee CB Nico Lawrence to ankle ligament damage for months according to Ben Garner . Possible move for Deji or Zach Mitchell on loan?
If we sign Etete, we’re certainly putting our faith in youth for our strikers. May plus 3 that are 21 or under. I guess Aneke is older as well but, like most, I’ve kind of discounted ever see him play meaningful minutes for us again.

Thanks for ruining it!
Northampton Aug 21 to Jan 22: 15 starts, 3 goals, 1 assist
Cheltenham Jan 22 to May 22: 10 starts, 3 goals, 3 assists (all for Alfie May)
Cardiff 22/23: 12 starts, 3 goals, 1 assist
However if it’s not Etete, never mind. :-)

Just for you Seth, this is some of Etete’s best bits from last season in the Championship
And the Man City striker playing for Barnsley last season…
