Remember when Charlie Austin almost became a Town player in 2010-11. We really missed out.

Cisse was listed as an attack minded midfielder when on trial with Barcelona, so either that information was incorrect or he's recently had a position change.

Jugsy - unfortunately now all loans count and have to be registered in the 25 man limit. So he would take up a space, as does Cam.

Ruiz Not Interested in Moving to Town
at 03:49:49

Guys, the coach said the 'important club' line, not the player. And it seems to me the Spanish translation to English was a bit jumbled. I do not think he meant disrespect, but more so meant a club in a top division.

Luton Eyeing Al-Hamadi

We tend to panic and reach for players around deadline time - ahadme, panutche and Ali all fit the bill. Some of these flyers work (eg Burns) but often they don't. Nothing against the player, but he's not at the required level.

Remember the track record - Ali had a great half season in league 2, and before that was bounced out for free by a number of lower level clubs. His only success had been non-league.

Town Academy Awarded Category One Status
at 04:42:39

Now, let's actually set about developing a player or two for the first team squad. Luke W graduated from the academy many years ago now, and Cam the only other academy graduate around the first team squad.

Blues Among Clubs Linked With Scotland International Miller
at 13:47:56

No realistic chance here. There's so much buzz about the lad I would also be surprised if he doesn't end up with a Premier League club...but don't rule out a buy and loan. Maybe we can loan him from an EPL club.

Good use of money from Orient. They sold Ethan Galbreith to Swansea a few days ago and used part of those funds for a like-for-like replacement. Kudos.

Players Return For Pre-Season Training
at 05:31:37

Marcus, we're in desperate need for 2 centre midfielders and two forwards. No questions.

Anything else may be a luxury. But we already have 25 senior players, so with every incoming there has to be an outgoing...and if, say, Baggott goes on loan we'll need a left sided centre half. If Cam goes on loan, we may need a 3rd centre midfielder.

An Outstanding Football Coach
at 06:31:21

For whatever reason, he's been sidelined under the new regime and doesn't really have a job. Don't blame him for moving on.

ITFC invited me to train/play for two years with the youth teams when I would visit in the 'winter' on return trips from Zimbabwe. Scowcroft and Naylor era. Bryan Klug was a through, even tempered coach who just wanted to make every player better. Funny, at that time he seemed so old to me, he was low to mid 30s!

Assistant Keeper-Coach Martin Leaves Town

I assume this is simply a matter of cost cutting. An asst goalkeeping coach is a luxury afforded only to Premier League clubs.

Cajuste Offered to Udinese Report

Timmy, Three of the 4 recently capped keepers for Sweden all play in the Championship...and one midfielder bizarrely plays in Cyprus. Another in Austria, which is ranked lower than the Championship. But agree it's getting less likely...and JC will have suitors in first tier leagues.

Tuanzebe Linked With Trabzonspor

I'm guessing we're not offering a very long term contract. No way we would have offered Burgess a three year deal, so he made a prudent financial decision for economic security. Can see the same thing playing out with AT.

Burgess always performed well for us, and improved immensely over the years. Understandable move. He needs to be playing regularly before the World Cup. I wish him the best.

Eight Youngsters Offered Terms
at 03:53:09

Our academy used to be the crown jewel and now it's a problem. Something has gone wrong and I hope management knows how to reverse the trend. Luke Woolfenden is the only grad in the squad, with Cam Humphreys the only other one playing at a good level with a chance of breaking through. A club like ours needs to be developing players to be sustainable.

That's obvious PT...otherwise we'll have a (soon to be) 23 year old keeper who has never played a league match. We'll kill his career if we don't loan him out.
