As suggested on the matchday thread, let’s kick off the traditional summer transfer speculation. I’ll start with our current loanees. I doubt Palace would release Owen Goodman, and if they did, would we want him or even be able to afford him? Of the rest, I’d definitely like to see Alastair Smith and maybe Riley Harbottle sign if they were released. As for the rest, they’ll be heading back to make room for new choices. |  |

Can't believe how would be DC's type of player. |  | | |

I'm not sure we should be signing a player who was part of a defence that leaked more than a burst water main last season. |  |

I got the impression watching Danny Cowley's interview about recruitment that the club are some way short of where they would like to be at this stage.
I am expecting several players to leave and between 8 and 10 new recruits.
My hopes for a promotion season in 24 / 25 have diminished a little over the past few weeks.
Let's hope for an influx of quality signings and the sooner the better. |  | | |

Last I heard he was under contract with Lincoln and as they had paid a fee for him when signing last summer would expect one if they agreed to transfer. | | | |

Feel a little similar if I am.honest as does seem a lack of rumours of pur activity in the transfer market.
Brindley in my opinion is a pure joke. | | | |

We really need to keep hunting for better quality and let Bromley & Swindon fight over him.
The fact is we have brought a 1st choice GK and a right winger in. We need one or 2 decent defenders and a decent goalscorer plus replacements for Mingi & Fevrier (and possibly McGeehan & Chilvers if they don't renew their contracts with us).
Obviously we also don't know which contracted players DC is looking to move on and which players at other clubs/free agents he is potentially targeting are also looking to move on.
It'll be an interesting few weeks to come but hopefully they'll be productive | |

I'd take Alastair Smith in a blink if he was available/ affordable. | |

Indeed so and maybe reason we have been raising funds from player sales.p | | | |

Wondering if Danny Cowley is aware of Yassine En-Neyer?
Why is this player not listed in the squad?
Why did Colchester United sign him? | | | |

Dodgy looking rumour, from a suspect poster on X/Twitter this morning, I highly doubt it is true but I would be surprised and gutted if he went there instead of us, always assuming we are trying to sign him of course! Bromley FC are close to adding Lincoln City midfielder Alistair Smith to their ranks after agreeing a £100k deal.
The midfielder who impressed on loan in League Two last season at Colchester United is keen to make a permanent move with plenty of first team football.
Contract has been agreed, player to undergo a medical. | | | |

Let's hope it is Alistair Smith and the rumour he was on his way to Bromley is proven to be groundless. | | | |

Hope springs eternal!
Surprised at least 1 of the 4 offered new contracts hasn't signed. Maybe waiting to see what rabbit's DC can pull put of the hat?9 | | | |

Another young kid from the academy 😂. I want this Simon Basesys job… he has a rite touch. Job is to go out and find players…. He just whips down the training ground and get his pen out. | | | |

Lincoln City have signed Tom Bayliss on a two-year deal after the midfielder was released by League One rivals Shrewsbury Town earlier in the summer.
Yes, granted not a U’s signing , but given that Smith was loaned out and not getting a game, might have some significants on his availability. |  |

It's all starting to make sense now! The Cowleys are the future.

"it is anticipated that the number of small-sided football teams will overtake the number of adult male 11v11 teams"
With less than a week until pre-season training starts, we've got the perfect squad for 5-a-side team. | | | |

We will have to borrow some of the opposing teams players to muster up a team. They will have to either borrow a shirt or chuck on a bib 😂 | | | |

Bibs - pah. In my school days it was shirts v skins, but then again our PE teachers back then were clearly psychopathic latent homosexuals, or so it seemed  | |

RS, it is unbelievable.
Another talented footballer lost by Colchester.
Another give away.
We desperately need some signings this week.
