Its been a black hole & all we've got is educated guesswork in terms of the embargo. Rooney isnt stupid & given the time constraints, will know how likely it is he will have to play youth CBs v Huddersfield. Therefore to feel confident about playing trialists tomorrow, you think he would insist on written assurances from the EFL (via the club). If that isnt forthcoming, then like @Tyler Durden says, we need to be starting our contracted players only & am sure thats exactly what Rooney would do. Dunno mate,he doesn't seem to be the brightest knife in the draw to me. We will see but it just seems unlikely that we will have time to sign the trialists in the time remaining...nothing else has moved at anything like that pace in any of these efl negotiations,good or bad Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit harsh on Gascoigne.

RoyMac5 Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 Quote DT: Rooney would not put a number on how many when asked: "I would like as many as possible. We just have to focus, there is still a little bit of work to be done but I am confident we will see some new faces this week...If we can do that, then we will have a very good squad. I still want to bring more players in, of course, we have got to the end of August to do that." Will Curtis sign today?! #COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I'd love to see a signing bonanza, I just can't imagine every deal is at the same stage, ready to go. We'll do right by our own first by giving Davies a contract, then we tie up the Mengi loan. With both those sorted and a better idea where we stand, we can concentrate on negotiating terms with the trialists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we've seen comparatively little of Cashin but on yesterdays showing he has some talent. Maybe better to sign experienced CBs and develop Cashin?

Just wonder if there's already been a gentleman's agreement regarding Mengi? Wouldn't be surprised if we see him join, despite Cashin's efforts yesterday.
