Saint_lambden Posted 30 June, 2022 Share Posted 30 June, 2022 3 minutes ago, david in sweden said: Keeping Shane Long for one more season might be a wise decision. He's not going to start too many games but with so many new/ young players on the way in, it might be good to have an older head around on match days. He's supposed to be a professional footballer, not a club mascot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 30 June, 2022 Share Posted 30 June, 2022 (edited) Any news on Perraud? He was reported by the OS in mid May as having a fracture in his foot and would be out for 5 to 6 weeks. Hope he’s back very soon, otherwise KWP is our only fit first team full back. Edited 30 June, 2022 by The Kraken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still injured, hasn't returned to Staplewood yet. They're concerned he might not be fit for the start of the season.

With current personnel we’re looking at some quite unpalatable potential options: - Valery/Stephens RB and KWP at LB - Salisu at LB - Back 3 with Tella/Redmond at LWB - Putting faith in Vokins or Small stepping up Got to have faith the club know the situation and putting decent contingencies in place.

Lighthouse Posted 30 June, 2022 Share Posted 30 June, 2022 You'd have thought he'd be back in time for the start of the season, even if he's not 100% match fit. Bone fractures tend to be fairly definitive in their recovery time and not the sort of thing which would take twice as long, seemingly without reason. Even if he wasn't I wouldn't be unduly concerned. None of our options is exactly ideal but they're not disastrous either. I'd be hoping to start seeing more of Small this season in any case, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyinthesky Posted 5 July, 2022 Share Posted 5 July, 2022 Am I right to assume that from the squad that finished the season Forster and Long have definitely left but there is no definite news on the future of Theo Walcott or any of the other players with question marks over their future? Meanwhile we have 2 new keepers, a central defender and relatively strong possibilities of two new midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much yes,I think we petitioned the Premier league to allow us to play with 2 keepers. They said are you sure as after watching last season I wouldn’t want any of them in goal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we don't bother with any proper local games against League Two (a few options - Crawley, Wimbledon, Sutton) or non-league to ease the players into pre-season anymore. Would have been pretty easy to give two separate XIs 45 minutes against a much lower standard for the fitness and just getting back into the match environment and mentality. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
