I do think, for his own benefit, Jibs should move to another club to get some consistent game time. He has always looked better and more confident when he has had a run of games, rather than dipping in and out of the team.
I wouldn't rule out a half season loan to a L2 or Conf club, then come back match fit and able to play a meaningful part in the squad. News of Jobe's injury probably puts paid to that idea though.

Haha, they could at least make these believable. Throwing money at a CB when we're light up front and midfield would be mental. He seems to be one of their better players. Lots of the fans rate him highly so he wouldn’t be a bad signing (also scores a fair few from set pieces). Personally, would much rather we spent the money on a striker if this is true. I trust Rossi, morro and Andrew as a back 3 for next season so a versatile back up defender should be a target for us.

We have lost 15 players from our end of season squad. Three of these were January window add on so12 to replace. So far we have 4 made public. Plus poor Jobe out for most of the season. Looks to me as though Strang and Monk have some serious work ahead to ensure we don’t start the season with half a squad.

I'm slightly surprised that we haven't announced any new signings today/yesterday. May be we've missed on a few targets...

Article here by Jon Brady about the knock on effect the Euros are having on the market. Imagine Northampton are shopping in similar market to us: www.ntfc.co.uk/news/2024/july/03/jon-brady-on-why-the-euros-are-having-a-knock-on-effect-for-recruitment/Start of the week was pleased with the 2 incomings but news since has all been outgoings along with the terrible Jobe News. I am sure GM would want players in for the Portugal trip to help team bonding. Not sure the Betsy news is the greatest timing either (unless we knew for a while) for the preseason also. Need a lot of incomings in attacking/midfield areas still and now a promising CB down. Perhaps it will be a number of loanees as it gets closer to August.

Goalie coming from Forest Green Rovers Gary Gardener and Britt Asombalonga coming to Utd Hmmm. That would be... quite the pair of signings if it happens. Certainly Monk's men...

Didn't the Ball rumour just appear after a tweet about the balls being used in training?

Assombalonga has to do his pennace after his disgusting behaviour earlier in his career.
