Is there any further Player news ? We're getting towards the latter stages of June now. I know there is a little bit of a way to go still until the friendlies, is it possible that any trialists might be signed up to make up the numbers ?

We currently only have 11 players confirmed. Not worried yet but hopefully we can retain nobby and Rmw (probably not) but I suspect IA has some signings ligned up.

I know there is a little bit of a way to go still until the friendlies, is it possible that any trialists might be signed up to make up the numbers ? I would imagine a number of trialists will be looked at, both in friendlies and in training when the squad returns in a few weeks. It seems Nobby is all but confirmed for next season which takes us to 12 players signed up. If that's right and IA is looking at a 17 man squad again then another five signings between now and August seems realistic.

Have Monlouis and RMW both gone or going ?

IA mentioned in his Herts Ad interview the other week that RMW has an offer on the table from Barnet. Another poster stated that Monlouis is looking for a move upwards too, but we haven't heard much about that.

Yeah, although l don't live in the St Albans area but occasionally read the Herts Ad online and of course see stuff on here, l did hear that about RMW, but just wondered if he had actually gone or not ? And Monlouis, well l guess we'll find out more in the course. You certainly can't blame young talented Players for wanting to progress, but it's just a shame to lose good Players like that, but maybe if Monlouis hasn't found a new Club by the time pre-season starts again, we'll see him back at the Park

In terms of where we are now, Player-wise, then, compared to where we were this time last year, are we about the same, same sort of Squad numbers, does anyone know ?

He is in marbella training with some of his friends who play in national league from various clubs and also high level coaching as he's mates with yannick Bolasie from Everton. Looks like he's taking football very seriously this year

still awaiting the signing of a big skillful lump of a striker to compliment Merson.

RMW would definitely be a loss should he leave. I've not been too convinced by Monlouis though, i'm not really sure what he adds to the team. If he was to leave I don't think we'd miss him.

Good Afternoon, Heard us Tranmere have taken two of your players on trial. One being Sam Merson and not sure on the other one. Can any of your players make the step to to league football?

Let's hope so, we've only got about 12 Players as it is so far and that includes Sam ! It seems to be so hard for us at the moment, getting Players on-board. Having the neucleus of last Seasons Squad though, might be a good thing thou.

Not playing squad but GK coach Rhys has resigned to spend more time with his family. Thanks Rhys for all the good work you've done with our keepers over the past four seasons

Shame he couldn’t coach any of them to deal with set pieces or command the penalty area.

Have we started pre-season training ? I am surprised at the lack of information about the squad for the coming season. Perhaps the budgets really are a problem for us, and there certainly seems to be a lot of activity elsewhere amongst the contenders in National South.

Well l'm going to the Northampton Town home friendly, our first game, like others, l'll certainly be interested to see what our Squad will be like. It's still looking like the 12 we have, as has been said on this Forum, plus, maybe, if they haven't got Clubs by then and are not doing anything else, Monlouis and RMW, plus some trialists.

Or maybe Ian Allinson has been away on a well deserved holiday?

Perhaps the budgets really are a problem for us Don't buy into it for a second, St Michael! In comparison to a number of clubs in our league and the low key nature of the players we've bought in so far the budget is undoubtedly an issue. Even if the budget stays the same I think we need to be realistic about the level of players that we will attract. I imagine the reason we haven't made any further additions is player wage demands.IA stated that even players in the Ryman/Southern League are out of our price range. You'll probably find that as pre season progresses, players without clubs will realise that their demands are unrealistic and will become more realistic.
