No pictures of training for the last two days. I wonder why? Trialists or players they don't want us to know are there or not there, whatever the case may be.
It proves how boring this pre season is people are even trying to get a rumour out of there not being any pictures of training today |

There are currently no trialists for the 1st team.

Why would we have trialists - we’ve already got a cast of thousands.

Playing devils advocate we do already have 3 keepers (not that I think any of them are the answer). |

I seriously hope our new keeper doesn't sign for us as a result of being a trialist! |

we may well have 3 keepers but none of them are a No1 - that's my point |

I believe our first choice target opted for Lincoln this week.
Grant Smith? |

Is it just me or is it deathly quite on the transfer front, both in and out... everyone else seem busy except us and the rumour mill is quite too.

I think it’s been said before that the problem is that we are having to wait to try and offload before we bring anyone in - this is going to become an issue if we’re left hanging around for a large chunk of preseason. God knows what’s going on with these players who are supposed to have clauses - again if we get dicked around for too long we’re going to miss out on decent replacements. I agree that the silence on recruitment is noticeable - not a peep out of KT or Austin for that matter - and I’m a bit concerned over a lack of quality in a few areas. Quite a few of our rivals are doing some decent business - Notts county signed Nathan Thomas yesterday and Exeter picked up Nicky law, and Mansfield and Lincoln are bringing some players in. |

Austin said in a video last week that the phone has been ringing for enquiries in to our players but he doesnt get involved in that side of things.
He also said he wouldnt mention any names of players that were being enquired about or ones he is looking at, as its disrespectful.
Kasim must surely be being off loaded as he didnt feature last night or mentioned by Austin as being absent only Crooks & Bowditch.

From Peterborough's chariman's twitter account yesterday:
"Accepted a bid for Junior M & permission given to talk terms tomorrow"
Doubt it's us but who knows.

Sure they said the squad is competitive and won't be mass additions this year. Probably why it has been quiet I guess.

Austin said he wanted a squad of 20-22...seeing as we're up there already, it probably will be the case that some have to go before anyone else comes in.

I’m just not convinced that around half of that 22 is good enough to get us up there competing for promotion. Our biggest issue - in my opinion - is in the attacking areas where games are won or lost, both out wide and through the middle in terms of goals. It would be good if we were in for someone like morais but didn’t their chairman say they wouldn’t be doing business with us? |

I've said it before and I will say it again, anyone who thinks this current squad will compete at the top end of league 2 is a fool. |

If we keep all if our defenders we should be fine provided Austin and Todd put them through a lot of hard work this preseason - we need a good keeper a goal scorer and at least one winger/wide attacker. Obviously if we lose any key players like crooks or Taylor for example it's going to leave a hole.
