What do we think will happen and what are the problems that we will have to overcome in relation to player recruitment. As far as I am aware (and i would love it if anyone can tell us the facts please) if we want to bring in any new players then we will have to off load some due to the financial fair play rules. This would surely mean paying players off or ending their loan deals which will be costly. Then the problem is who do we get in ?, I am guessing loan players. Do you think DA will fund this sort of plan or say sod it, National League it is

Is it correct that, in a radio interview, Jack alluded to 5 players having been identified as not pulling their individual weight and would be looking for other clubs, and that DA would agree to financing replacements, wage cap allowing.

Can anybody clarify whether we have the option of freeing all our loan players in January please, or are there different deals for different individuals?

It seems to me, for example, that both Reed and Diego might be restricting the development of Rowley so that money can be better used.

In addition Kellett and Flores (hope he's ok) are restricting the introduction of some much stronger players.

Relegation is the priority not the development of Rowley, we could even see him on his way in the window.

Well we need a winger; 2 fullbacks; a bit more height in defense and midfield plus an arial threat up top. Add to that a capable commanding goalie.

In theory JBW will be back before January....

Think you've got it entirely the wrong way round.

Rowley is our player, we have every interest in developing him. I have no interest in developing Reed for the benefit of United.

Now if Reed were so good a player then you might have an argument, but I don't think he is, and he also has a habit of playing like it's an u18 knockabout doing fancy tricks in the wrong area of the pitch. I'd play Rowley over Reed in CM AM or RM.

Pretty much exactly what I said on page 14 of Cambridge thread Dave.

Can't see a team rebuild happening.It's whats needed but financially restricted.

So that's just more or less a whole new team then.

Tbh I'm disappointed with Reed and if he can be sent back in January I hope Jack would find better. A player his size has to be gifted and I haven't seen it

Kellet was pretty good Saturday, especially first half

Sorry but I disagree,he lost possession in our own half at least 4 times once which nearly led to them taking the lead,he's lightweight and offers very little,just my opinion of course.

Midfield is far too lightweight with both kellet and reed playing together, its gorra be one or tother never both.

That's exactly my thoughts,Reed needs a big brute in midfield at the side of him to do the dirty work and allow him to play his natural passing game.
