Yeah still need LB, CB and defensive midfielder for the starting eleven. Hope Johnson stays but the longer it goes on the less likely it seems.

Some competition for Hess would be welcome too although perhaps that is Lawless if he signs.

Think Cox is a punt and probably not costing us the full wage under the loan terms. If it comes off he could score vital goals, if not then we haven't lost too much.

No thank you. He'd be mad not to take their offer. Can't believe they're keeping Passley at that level either!

I suppose there's a possibility Strevs sees Rutherford as a winger. Which could therefore mean conceivably 9 of our starting 11 is now settled with a CDM and CB still required. I would have thought Rendall is going to start the season on the bench, probably as 4th choice, but one for us to develop. ...

Pearce could very well score 25 goals this season but I am not too upset about it. He'll be 29 before the season starts so has very little resale value, he's never played above the Conference South, and before last season he had about a 1 in 2.5 record at that level and below across his previous clu...

Surely a club in L1 or 2 will take a punt on him. His body is made of glass but if he does play he will score loads at those levels.

On paper today, with only players under contract, our side is something like Justham Ling Eastman ? Vincent ? Hess Rees ? Hill ? Bench: Remy, Phipps, ?, ?, ?, ?, ? And that's counting Vincent as a left back. Even if Johnson, Striz, Lawless and Inih sign we are still 3 starters and 2 subs short as it...

It is beyond me why the national league continue to tolerate them. They continually don't pay their bills yet we're apparently meant to congratulate them for fielding one of the best teams in the division. It makes a mockery of the league.

I think Inih is perhaps a red herring here. As much as I think he is absolutely vital to our system, would we break the bank for him at 33? What if we could find a similar but younger player, perhaps for similar money? I think we have to look at the whole squad build to really understand how things ...

Page is unfortunately too much of a risk despite being a good player.

As for Hare, I don't think it makes sense to spend a chunk of your budget on 2 established right backs. Ling is clearly first choice, and then you need someone who can maybe play 2 or 3 positions or a younger player as cover.

I believe he bought a place in Hertford having previously been in St Albans. It's quicker to get to Hertford from Dagenham than Woking. I don't buy the moving closer to home thing.

He might find himself in a tricky situation. Contracted to a club we know are paying good money. Apparently doesn't want to leave the south east. Can't see Barnet or Aldershot taking him.

That leaves Southend with the Still connection. As a cheeky suggestion... could he end up at Hornchurch?

Southend will likely throw money at it but otherwise there is absolutely nothing to worry about in that list. Great chance for playoffs if we have even a half decent season.

Yes, same Ibe. Has barely played in 4 years. He had a long time away from football with depression I believe.

Press guy must have misheard. That figure is the away attendance.
