If this other club is Barnet or FGR I will scream

If we lost out on this lad to Dagenham now then seriously wtf. We have a tiny squad, just cashed in on striker and pull in about >400% more people in the gate every week. We should be blowing them out the water.

In fairness it’s entirely possible he’s got zero interest in going to the other club who’s come in for him. But his agent isn’t going to tell us that and can use that interest to try and put a few extra pounds in the packet. Depends how far along the deal was, but Kev jogged Pedder on for being a bit snakey.

These type of signings are often the biggest surprise in a positive way. Bought by Luton when in Prem based on performances and goals in Canadian Prem (don’t know what level that is)-

It’s primarily retired hockey players vs Kodiak Bears. Winner gets a bottle of maple syrup.

I think.

As with the likes of Wealdstone, and a number of NL sides outside the big spenders, I think we (and Kev) are going to have to rely on the loan market to get any quality in numbers- or special situations as with Moncur where the club had attractions unrelated to £££

“It doesn’t mean we will be stuck in the N L forever”.
How do people feel about playing in the National League South next season?
The last few days, plus the injury list, has turned us from an upper mid-table side into one that might flirt with the drop.

Behave

I hope that's true but the fact CP is saying it alarms me

Now we have a consortium (some of whom reside overseas) where does the protest take place?

With the amount that were turning up before it would be one person at each of the consortiums houses.

 

[AlfaShrimper]

Okay time to sign out for the day. This is horrific.

Quite possible of course- if it’s a Pedder type of deal I doubt that will anything like fly in this case but I know what you mean..

Daggers have a bigger budget than us don't they? I'm sure they're owned by rich Americans or something.

In your living room, on your own, and preferrably silently.

 

[overseas shrimper]

We have a game tomorrow and it looks like zero fit forwards. Maybe this is a 4 week loan to “get some bodies in” while waiting for the main targets to hopefully come good. And who knows. He may be good…

And then, when he does go, the moaners about bringing him in now will moan that we only got him on a month's loan.

 

[overseas shrimper]

My highlight reel also looks decent ... so a pinch of salt with these

It's just a shame that with all the names we have been linked with, this seems a bit underwhelming

Not to mention, loosing Cards on top

Post it, let's see it.

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

Does anyone know what our budget roughly is? Doesn't seem right we've basically maxed our budget out on about 20 players

 

[overseas shrimper]

Plugging the leak didnt really work did it...

You don't think his agent might be playing clubs against each other to get the best deal for their player (and more % commission)?

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Post it, let's see it.

It's not suitable for work

 

[sufc4life21]

COSU need to dig deep and start signing some players, bit like what 7,000 plus have done this season. We are in danger of having poor season with no hopes of the play offs. Show some ambition.

Vaguely. The new contracts were given at substantial increases on previous contracts, and (IMHO quite rightly) the club wanted to reward those loyal through the past 2 seasons. Cardwell leaving will at least free up some wage budget, he was one of the highest earners.

My understanding is that 22 players is the goal, to be supplemented by loans as and when required. There is room in the budget (even before Cardwell departs) but the club very much want to secure the right players within it and are being patient and sticking to their guns.

Trust the process.

You don't think COSU have dug deep over the past 8 months?

Of course. But now we are heading into tomorrow match with no strikers and struggling to fill the bench. Starting to get bit embarrassing.
