I also like look of Minturn, thought he was solid vs supermarine and didn’t look out of place in mens football, all accounts did really well in short stint at Chippenham last season. I’d keep him also and actually in an ideal world have 1 more centre half so we’ve got a back up for the 3 starters.



I imagine we'll sign the ex Swansea CB.

I assume our link with Villa has disappeared with the previous management team, wasn't it said when we played Man City that they said they would do something with us assume loaning players, not seen or heard anything

I saw nothing at all in writing or in the press confirming this from either club at any official level.

Only a few posts on social media from fans, so I doubt you can read anything into that as official.

All I heard was that Man City were very happy with how the club treated them.

I thought it came from Rob or Clem...maybe it didn't

If you can find that then please do post as I never personally saw that, I am happy to be proved wrong, but I heard nothing even close to that other than that Man City staff and players felt well treated by us.

Yeah they seemed impressed with the set up but there was nothing like that promised.

So what's everybody's thoughts on who we've replaced our outgoings with?

For me, when it's laid out like below, we still need a few high calibre players to come in.

Jojo = Brynn

Conroy = Harries

O'Brien = Minturn (If first team)

Egbo = Shade

Hunt = Hutton

Tomlinson = Devine

Cooper = Brennan

Odimayo = Clayton

Davison = Adeloye

Payne = Khan

East = Darcy

JML = Wakeling

Barry = Massey

A few unknown quantities in there. I think there may well be a few upgrades as well as a few down grades. Bit of a mixed bag. Will be interesting to see how these players compare to their predecessors in 6 weeks time. Be prepared for surprises (good and bad). My spidey sense says that Wakeling will be an upgrade on JML and Brynn may end up being an upgrade. I would like to think Darcy will be better than East too.

There's still some work to be done, either Payne stays and we look stronger than that or a direct replacement is brought in on a decent wage, probably not what we offered Payne himself you'd assume but a player expected to be integral to the squad. 

When I say direct replacement I don't necessarily mean his position or playing style, we may already have that pretty covered, more a player that will be one of the first names on the team sheet week in, week out.  What I mean is a player that would be as important to us as he would be were he to stay.

The money is obviously there for this type of player if we still have an offer on the table for Payne and you would assume work is being done to reallocate it promptly as soon as we know for sure his intentions.

Also, East may actually be an OK player but when you are forced to compare anyone to Reed in that position they're going to look mediocre as he's up there with peak Kasim for me, exceptional player for this level.
