Not suggesting for a minute he’ll return, but clubs have to recall players if they are undecided on their future.
Alexander at Bradford has supposedly said Young will train and play for them.

Not sure if it's already been confirmed on another thread, but Kemp recalled.
Not surprising but absolutely devastating, we'll be lucky to find a replacement half the player he is, especially with our competitive budget
You cant replace Kemp, there is nobody like him at this level. You need to replace the assists and goals. So we need 2 goal scoring forwards, instead of one and Austin!. Then somehow restructure our midfield to get the assists.... Its a daunting task. |

We need about 11 out and 16 in.

We will just have to hope it’s the same as Doyle (or Yates) and that a deal can be done to get him back. Think its unlikely though |

Wonder what the fans who Clem told to their face Kemp was signing are going to think when it doesn't happen? Or TSTBL?
Wake up time or keep happy clapping to the National League?

Clem said they were trying, not that we were going to. So people have misreported that. Not that i'm defending Clem, but lets be factually correct. |

Even if he did say it was nailed on, I’m more surprised that anyone even gave those comments the time of day. Absolutely 0 chance. |

Flynn had the league’s best midfielder, the league’s leading scorer (for most of the time), the league’s leading crosser plus 4th leading for assists and this is the mess he has done with it. If he can’t build a functioning team around those 3 he deserves the boot.

Its a daunting task. well said. we just lost 28 goals out the squad.. And Kemp was more than goal. I wonder if he's going to try and tighten it up and change style a bit assuming we make appropriate signings. I know there is absolutely nothing to say that he will. |

Even if we’d lose say 25% of Young/Kemp/Huttons attacking functionality by employing a much more solid robust system we would have still likely been better off… |

So the 20 professional players still at at the club for now are...
L Ward
Hutton
B Ward (not formally recalled I don't think?)
Clayton
Blake-Tracy
Brewitt
Genesini
Kokolo
Devine
Godwin-Malife
Minturn
Shade
McEachran
Khan
Cain
Uwakwe
Kinsella
Dworzak
Hepburn-Murphy
Austin
For a bit of fun, how many do you think are still at the club Feb 1st (counting out on loan as gone)
I'd guess at 16... busy month ahead. It could be easily be lower, and three gone already (Young, Mahoney, Kemp)

Yeah fair enough I'll call Young gone even without the official sad video!

In fairness we could do with shifting a few. I'd keep FBT, Clayton, Hutton, UGM, Kokolo in a squad that could challenge. The rest i don't care about. |
