Our youth players were warming up pitchside at Braintree, having a conversation and one just said quite clearly “his name’s Kyle Taylor”. Read into that what you will. You misheard him. It was the ghosted glottal stop. He said, 'Lyle Taylor.'

Any new signings now would more likely be signing a player from another club (fee involved) or a long term loan from a bigger club. There can’t be many free agents left without a club that would improve our squad and would want to play at the lower end of L1 that we could afford. Any free agent that signed, a month into pre season would probably come with some fitness issues etc which is why no other club has gambled on them.
Still hoping we are circling Noah Chilvers and could push the boat out a bit regarding a fee etc with Col U as that type of signing would be exciting and intriguing.

This would be a real statement of intent if we were to sign Chilvers. Reminds me of when we had our best side many years ago, and we strengthened it by going for Richard Wilkins, who incidently, also signed from Colchester!

Charlton were rumoured to be in for him but it has gone very quiet on that front now. As I said before we don’t want to lose Noah so we are playing hardball on the compensation fee we want for him. It seems our chairman has no interest in virtually giving him away so Noah either signs a new contract with us which seems unlikely, a club has to pay a realistic fee for him or it goes to tribunal where anything can happen!

Charlton can fk right off. Turning into a ex Cambridge All Stars with a moaning prat in charge.

I would like to see us add before the start of the season and agree that those without clubs now are going to be behind on fitness. There may be some players who have been trying for a deal higher up and still available like KaiKai was last year after trialling at Rotherham. I think there will be the opportunity for some loanees with a bit of pedigree before the end of the window as some will be out of favour at current clubs and may want to move for football.

Teddy bishop being one of those potentially..

I'd take Scully. I suspect we won't sign him but he has been linked to us on at least two separate occasions in the past so I'm posting it and I don't care who it upsets.

"I remember his dad having blue hair back in the day"
Heh, I don't remember it being blue but I'm pretty sure I can remember it being pink.
Was his nickname Queenie or have I made that up?
