The reality is some signings will pan out well, whether an experienced older player coming down from a higher level I.e. Goater, MAF. Some won’t I.e. Kightly, Ridgewell, Ricketts.
Same from similar level and lower league. For every gem like Gower, Eastwood and Leonard we’ve had 10s of dross, too many to count. What we do have though is a wise team led by John Still doing ‘Those words are banned’ (can we still say that phrase
) that are as good as any for the level and budget we are working on. That and the fresh approach under new leadership is very encouraging

I’m hearing that Connor Ducter is coming in as well - he’ll get a tune out of those two.

I look forward to him having the ball on the wing and the crowd shouting, "Pass, Wind!"
They Call It Madness!!!

It's blowing a Gus on the wing, hopefully a consistent Wind will help to calm the right hand side down.

Is still out of contract, wonder if he is someone to keep an eye. Would prefer him to Moncur imo

Me after having a Chicken Balti:
Correct, we couldn't.
Just like we probably couldn't afford Tshimanga's wage either.
But, if the parent club are willing to loan us the player and contribute a % of his wage, suddenly it could become viable...
The parent club shift a player off their books that is surplus and save themselves say £1000pw in the process, that they can put towards something else. We get a player that would otherwise be out of range.
Happy player (he's still getting his full wage) happy clubs (one has saved a few quid, the other has got an EFL player on loan that doesn't break wage structure) Everyone is a winner...
Plus if a loanee gets injured, we just send them back for treatment.

Yeah. If the parent club screwed up by too high wages or whatever then they claw back what they can. Similarly when the contract runs out he won’t earn £5k a week in his next contract. He gets what he can

Northwesterly 3 to 5, occasionally 6 in northeast, becoming variable 2 to 4 in southwest.

No chance with Noah Chilvers. He wants more money and to move to a higher club than Colchester. He's ambitious. Colchester are trying to do a deal with him, but it seems he's made up his mind. Also if he goes, Colchester will be due compensation as he's under 24.

Thing with Moncur, who elsewhere is rumoured to be on 4K a week, is wherever he goes next aren’t going to pay anywhere near that. And his age goes against a fee too for that matter. So it is potentially realistic along the lines you describe.
The one thing I would say is whilst we may think £1k a week is a reasonable contribution at our level, what other clubs paying in the same league means expectations of the loaning club are likely very different- we likely have the same problem with Tshimanga. Fear both clubs will be expecting nearer 2k a week- and hence the slow progress perhaps

I think, as we’re non league we wouldn’t have to pay compensation.
Yeah surprised he hasn’t been signed by a league one club yet. Think it’s a bit odd. Heard Orient were heavily interested tbf

We used to have a few that were waiting for God, but they were all Phil Brown signings.

Fair enough. I thought it was no compensation if the player moves abroad, or goes amateur.
