Berry has a knack for arriving at the right time to score goals. Think he definitely has a role to play this season even if it’s from the bench, scored a few from it last year. I still wouldn’t be surprised to see him starting once he’s fit and up to speed
Feel like one way or another, Berry will end up back at Cambridge.
Think he will finish his contract here as he will have a role to play from the bench. I can't see him starting, but he would offer us something as an impact sub.
I feel the same way about Godden, think it will be a case of managing his minutes and either Tanto, Leaburn or the new (expected) mystery striker will be the main forward.
Both good options in the Championship, especially Godden.
Berry won’t be going anywhere. Jones rates him highly.. his minutes will be managed. Berry has important goals in his locker. And knows games time might be slowly limited.
Godden will have his own pre season plan, and will follow. As long as firing by the start of the season, that’s good management

Agree 100% with this.
I’ve said before that Berry has a lampard like ability to be in the right place at the right time on the edge of the box to stick the ball away. Also strikes the ball so cleanly when bobbling around.
Not sure he’ll start many but can see him being a useful sub
Am i the only one that thinks Godden and Berry's "slight calf strain" is the classic ruse for players a club wants to keep fit so they can offload? Also with Kaminski not playing either i guess he's back on the market...(last bit was a joke. I am not going full Ronnie)
If Godden goes, we def won't get Kelman, and FA would be well pissed off with that one...😉

I’d be surprised if we offloaded Godden, unless we do push the boat out for at least one more striker . Berry wouldn’t be a shock.
We definitely need another striker. Godden is the only one currently who has proven Champ scoring and he will not play much this season.
From Jones comments looks like Lembiksa is someone he’s interested in having a proper look at pretty much confirms Asiimwe isn’t seen as part of the first team next season. Looks like a RWB ST will be coming and maybe a midfielder but that’s not guaranteed

We’ve got enough midfielders already so I still think that’s unlikely, unless there’s an unexpected outgoing. Think it will just be a wing back and a striker
Have I missed some news of which others are aware? I know that Godden will soon turn 34 and is in the last stage of his career, but that is not necessarily a great age for a striker. Last season he was one of our best 5 players, and I did not notice any drop-off in his performance even in the last strenuous weeks of an exhausting season.
I appreciate that he would have to be carefully managed, but I saw nothing to suggest that he could not play at least a quarter of minutes available this season, as one of four (maybe five) strikers. Coming on at 70 minutes often, and occasionally starting. He is a poacher, and that is not the most demanding role physically.
Has some physical defect now been identified which would make that impossible? I have not seen any hint of that in all our gossip.

he has a scoring rate of a centre back

Sounds like it is McGuane to Huddersfield. Hopefully means Leonard is still available, you never know. Probably wishful thinking.
Sake and saltfish
Berry, Godden and Mannion injured.
Who is, to be fair, also inclined to operate out on the right wing.
