Got hammered for saying Mous could be either starting or 1st back up defender come 1st game of the season - looking at oxford mail no reference of even needing a defender? usual KR window 4 wingers needed. Crazy we aren't addressing the full back & centre back situation first.

This has got to be a wind up!? We signed Brown last week, and KR has already said that we are looking at at least 2 defenders..

Do keep up!!!

KR would have to be clinically insane to think Mous could be a first or second choice defender this season.

I think you would have to be clinically insane to suggest that thought would even cross his bloody mind! How many times do we need to say the same things!? MOUS WILL NOT BE VIEWED AS AN OPTION FOR ANY LEAGUE GAMES!!!!

We are looking at bringing in at least 2 more defenders. We have already signed Brown. If we signed another CB, and a LB, that means we have Brown who can cover LB and play CB, as well as a specialist full back and another CB. I wouldn’t be against another RB coming in, but the left side is more of a concern. I’m sure KR knows this..

This will be KRs down fall not properly addressing the defence first he must dream about wingers every night 😴 😳 and no mous should not be in the squad as to me this lacks ambition from the club.

To me, it shows you don’t understand the reason why he’s included in the squad? He HAS to be a registered player, in order to fulfil his obligations at the PFA. Does that mean he’s going to play? No. Lack of ambition my ass!

So he's now got his badge and to meet his requirements he still got to be registered and that still taking up a valuable squad space 🤔
 
Anyone ITK can shed some light on who the bid has been accepted for? Can we expect any signings today/tomorrow?

I think that's understood by most.

I don't expect to hear any moaning from KR on squad limits, though.
 
A good bench mark for what is required is to imagine that any player you'd consider as a shoe-in starter - Stevens (rightly or wrongly he will be), Moore, Brannagan, Taylor, Browne - gets a season ending injury in the first game of the season. Without having to play any player out of position could we cover these five surefire starting positions with decent enough quality (to maintain a promotion push) until January or beyond ? Most of the other positions will be regularly rotated anyway so could get by, for example Seddon in for Brown, Forde in for Long or vice versa.
 
I would have thought that this will be the centre back from America but won't be announced for a few days at least with the MSL transfer window doesn't open until 7th July.

I believe that there's still some work needed to tie Whyte up.

His coaching badges and his position at the PFA, have nothing to do with each other. I choose to look at it like this: Hanson was absolutely useless for us, for nearly 4 seasons - and cost us a fortune! He’s now gone, so I am more than happy for Mous to occupy his place in the squad. Mous has been an exceptional servant for this club, both on and off the pitch. If a single squad place is THAT valuable then our recruitment has been well below what many expect it to be! .

If someone gets a season ending injury on the first game of the season (God forbidden) then we still have a month of the transfer window open to bring in a replacement.

Ok, well say the 4th game then (still 42 to go). You're almost getting down to the dregs with 3 or 4 weeks to go, there'll be a reason why they haven't been snapped up in the previous two months.
 
Surely we have to sign at least 3 more defenders? A LB and 2 CBs, having just Moore, Brown and the new guy puts us in the same position as last season, not enough defensive cover. If we are considering Long as the fourth CB, then we need another RB to cover him.
 
Last week I was told it was pretty Much a done deal but for a loan. Others have suggested it was permanent. I do not at any point pretend to be in the know though and was just passing on what I had been told.
Maybe it's Jodie Jones , as he was at Oxford City & Coventry has released him ?
