Any further news on Josh Rees returning, RR ? Or has that fallen through due to 'budget constraints'? I haven't read that he has signed for anyone else. Vassell is on trial at Luton so we might miss out there.

he is decent enough at this level,

Going to go against the grain here, I rather pleased he's signed. The man has passion, something that's been in short supply at TUFC of late.

Glad to see you sign Courtney, really hope you have an excellent season.

remember where we were last season, hardly gonna attract top class players. Decent enough for me.

Not good.

I thought Richards and Moore need to get fitter!

That's great news, Roadrunner - and your info is usually spot on. I rate Josh Rees - good player. I don't know anything about Vassell 'cept he was a regular in Truro's team that reached the play offs and I think he scored a few goals for them.

Courtney got a touch like an elephant hope he doesn't sign , don't rate him at all shame we don't AV a second team he could lay in there

yes Ive heard also that Rees could be on his way back. And that vassell is training with us.

We have a really good left winger in Sparkes, and two excellent strikers, so need someone to play on the right to play a 4-4-2 and utilise all these players.

Richards would be a good squad player, but I can't see him being in our first choice XI with everyone fit, unless we are planning on playing a very narrow formation. Lathrope, Young, Richards and Chaney would all suit this, but then you're left with Sparkes as the only winger in the squad and England have already shown what happens when you go with one winger and then play a formation with wingers.

Priorities for me are a right winger, temporary right back, Harrad and then another central midfielder.

Nicholson described Andre Wright and Jason Rees as 'cheap' loan signings the other day, so it could work quite well to sign Richards and Harrad, who are unlikely to be first choice, and then bring in similarly funded loan players to be the first choice right side as presumably the loaning club would want them to play if they're paying most of the wages.

Is there any clarification he has re-signed before we jump the gun

This could be a big season for Chaney if he's given the chance, the form he showed at the end of the season could see him being a key player.

Would love to see a right winger brought in but to me it looks as if Kev will play quite a narrow system possibly a diamond.

Lathrope
Sparkes AN Other (possibly Chaney/Richards)
Young

This would be more suited to Chaney than as a winger. Conceivably he could also play Lathrope, Sparkes, Richards and Young in the same narrow midfield.

On another note - I heard that we were speaking to Josh Rees - is there any truth in this?

Unless Kev has plans to put Chaney out wide?
