Says he's a central midfielder here. ^

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Had a few hits with the Blow Monkeys.

I found this little bit on Rob Howard.
Like George Phillips, Rob Howard joined Colchester United towards the end of the season from Arsenal having also spent time playing for Southend in his younger years. Rob is hard-working / tough-tackling midfielder, adept at breaking up opposition attacks and marked his U18s debut v Barnsley with the opening goal in a 2-0 win

Looks like Isaac Hutchinson has accepted a 2 year contract with us ahead of Sparta Prague where he has been on trial

Says alot about our set up if he turns them down to sign with us.

I agree, what 18 year old kid would turn down the chance to live and work in a country where English is not the first language?

Who knows, its what your are offered, length of contract, likelihood of getting senior game time. With us he would know there is a meaningful chance to break into the first team because recently so many others have.

**** me lads, I was trying to big up our youth set up. And people say I’m a negative person.

No they don't.

Are you kidding.
Last time he came to the hall he was complete crap.

 

[NZamba Legend]

I would have gone to Prague because the lager is colder and crisper. This probably explains why I never made it.

 

[flangejackrabbit]

We're just a striker and a wide midfielder away from a complete squad.

What's the chances of Ba playing a part this season? I think he was signed on a whim by PB to silence critics about needing a striker. For a while now we've been asking for a pacey striker and under CP I feel he could be it.

I thought Ba came on the recommendation of the guy who sent us Mohsni?

Comment somewhere from Ricky Duncan suggests he's a midfielder we plan to convert to RB

I bet Elvis will be happy to hear that.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I bet Elvis will be happy to hear that.

I think he will as that means he's considered 1st team squad rather than u23s.

 

[RHB]

Precisely!

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Precisely!

I think he means Elvis is considered a first teamer RHB, thereby making him feel positive

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

I guess signing Howard ends Ben Mundele's trial? Unless we want another right-back competing for a place that will most light already be taken.
