Christy Pym finally signed , some won’t be happy because he had an average season but you can do much worse, and I back him to do better this season.

 

[JJ1990]

Well, we won't be signing Charlie Raglan as he's just rocked up at Oldham. On to plan B now whoever that might be.

 

[クレイグ]

Alan Nixon linking us to right back Jack Hunt. We've only got four right backs so would be good to get another in.

 

[Indian Dan]

We’ve been linked with him too. We only have the 2.

I hope you're right, thought he was poor last season and contributed to our defensive woes.

He clearly thinks highly of himself so hopefully he can prove me wrong this season.

When he was a kid his parents took him to Cleethorpes for the day and since then he’s been a big fan of ours and always dreamed of one day playing regularly in Cleethorpes and now his dreams are finally going to come true.

Could he be another Moxon? There's bound to be some out there.

 

[Casey]

I'm very 'happy' with our new signing. He could be the start of a 'New Order' at Crawley

Joy Mukena. A centre half aged 24 who was with St Albans last season.

I have heard he is quite good....I'm believing that...though why we have signed another centre half is anyones guess. I cant see him getting in the team ahead of the ones we have.

Training with us today.

Sounds like Clough wants him in to give Calum Johnson competition while Hewitt is out until next year.

Good pro, would have liked him to stay. RB is prob his best position but did well in midfield last season when we were thin on the ground in the centre of the park. Can also play LB but he is very right-footed. Not the quickest either but will do a good job in L1 / upper reaches of L2.

Yeah he mentioned can help at Midfield too, Clough loves someone who can move about position wise.

Brennan Dickenson is training with the club today too, any Colchester fans?

I agree.

I thought he was average with his distribution, though frequently also there was little he could do.

I expect more from him this year.

Nixon’s play on words, Head Hunt, makes me think it’s Ashley Hunter - which would be a decent addition IMO.

Head Hunter.

[pontoonlew]

Kamil Conteh confirmed on a 3 year deal, extremely pleased with this

 

[Son of Cod]

Great signing if what we've read about him is accurate. Pushing the likes of Bradford and Stockport out the way to get him too. Really interested to see what Hursty's plan for the middle is, I'd expect a fair bit of rotation going on but I'd expect this signing to suit Alex Hunt a bit more than anyone else in the squad.

 

[bantamjay]

I’d be extremely surprised to see him rocking up at Swindon. His family and more importantly his children (childcare) are settled up here and with him coming to the end of his career, I can’t see him moving back down there.

I also can’t see him wanting to drop down to league 2 level either, which would rule us out.

Head Hunter.

I’d be happy with him, he’s always looked dangerous when playing against us if memory serves?

Are Grimsby already in the Going For It list? If not please sort out.

We're on it mate, in the Going For It™ With Cup Money section.

It's Jack Hunt, someone posted the full article on twitter.

Genuine question but has it been reported that we were in for him? We're well stocked on midfielders albeit he's probably light years ahead of Alex Gilliead and I'd never heard of him until 5 minutes ago.

 

[クレイグ]

Dodgy Twitter account linking Luke Hendrie to Morecambe. He's probably low end League Two or even National League standard. Be good to shift him on.

 

[Ellis]

As I said our tap is being turned off, financially outmuscled by the Grimsby boys.

Offered a good deal but couldn’t compete with the Grimsby offer.

I think Grimsby have done decent business this summer with you lot on here have been going a bit overboard but this one looks really good.

Everything I watched/read after we were linked I liked. Not sure how interested we were but can’t help feeling this could turn out to be another Moxon situation for us.

 

[Master D]

Are Grimsby already in the Going For It list? If not please sort out.

They make 4 signings a week, so yes. But it's not easy to keep everyone happy in a squad of 38 players.

 

[Stocky]

Yep, I can confirm Grimsby blew us out of the water with the fee (believed to be very high) and the wages (believed to be very high also).

Grimsby Chairman described as being "the Lincolnshire Todd Boehly" by a few who were close to the deal at our end.

If Hurst doesn't get out of the traps early doors this season, he's finished for me. I said that with a heavy heart because I like the man. But these are promotion figures.

 

[dedwardp]

Brennan Dickenson is training with the club today too, any Colchester fans?

He was the best left-sided player in the league in 2016/17 without a doubt - all the pace and power you could need and an unbelievable left foot with a really clean, wicked strike. Scored some outrageous goals from wing back.

Suffered a bad ACL injury at the end of that season when it was widely expected he was set for a big money move to Ipswich and was never the same afterwards. Lost his edge and seemed to be playing within himself somewhat, so whether it had a toll on him mentally too I'm not sure.

I'm not sure that he has since pulled up any trees with Carlisle and was injured in his first season there too I think.

 

[GTFCfish]

Genuine question but has it been reported that we were in for him?

I just made that up earlier.

 

[EnglishRed]

The few times I saw Conteh last season he looked decent. Nice and tidy on the ball (good with both feet too) and a good size too. I'd say more one for the future than a player who is going to blow the league away this season though.

 

[TheEndIsNigh]

The analyst nerds were enthusiastically linking us with Conteh so he must be a good signing for the cods.

Hurst is obviously too nice a man though to be included with the Going For It mercenaries.
