Will any more players be leaving or going out on loan, I wonder?
I'm down the ground ready to report on any new players sighted. I've seen a few who have simply told me they are glad to now have no contractual restrictions stopping them from announcing their moves.Three signings already and it’s not even eight thirty. I wonder if AK’s taken the day off work!?
The likes of M'Bo will almost certainly be sent out on loan. The only interesting one will be if Nash is included.
Apart from Eaves (and that would be a punt) no.
If SL signs another striker then somebody has to be heading out?
I still think our forward line is nil after Eaves and Parker. I don't rate Nash or Wilkinson.
Lovell has made it clear everyone will get the same chance pre season hopefully we will see a few surprises if M'bo or Nash gets twice as many goals against similar opponents than Wilkinson then why should they not be considered above him .If Wilkinson scores twice as many as Eaves of Parker why should he not be considered above them .What Lovell has tried to do pre season is create competition for places .At the end of the day pre season is about player fitness not about putting on a show for the fans .That starts against Accrington Stanley .When pre season is over then and only then will Lovell point to players going out on loan and even being put on the transfer list .Beating sides pre season is meaningless we have seen it so many times .But if a player is playing really well or the team is starting to gel and bond that is what is it all about .If we can do that against the likes of Bromley and Dover does it real matter who we play when we know these sides will be as competitive as any as we have found to our cost many times before .Going and beating Ebbsfleet and Dover on the same day is a real tough test have no doubt about that .Not getting beaten in pre season with the large numbers of double fixtures will be very difficult to accomplish .The likes of M'Bo will almost certainly be sent out on loan. The only interesting one will be if Nash is included.
Otherwise do we really have any sellable assets that other clubs would be prepared to pay a fee now rather than wait 12 months?
