The squad in July

[Hound]

Some regular on Twitter suggested both Hoilett and Mbengue were at the club yesterday

I wasn’t keen on Hoilett staying but with the change in circumstances I’d happily have him stay on now

Hoilett is in Canada on Gold Cup duty so no way he was there yesterday. He was there over the summer though.

Well there's ya problem!

Yep Twitter as usual is the problem

Rumoured to be looking at taking Fin Stevens (right back) on loan from Brentford, Champ was maybe a step too far last season as he didn't get a look in on loan at Swansea so L1 might be his current level, might be a decent signing in that case, not sure what the situation with Yiadom is then.

You know times are hard when the club is relying on Brentford rejects

Blackpool want him too and they have already agreed a deal to sign the Shrewsbury central defender we were linked to a short while ago. Needless to say, he won’t be choosing us.

Like Ingimarsson, Sonko, etc...?

Premier League Brentford who have a proven track record of buying excellent young players and improving them?

Owned by a mathematical genius as well. Yep give me Brentford & Brighton rejects over other clubs rejects.

Sidwell played for them too even though he didn`t come directly from them, you came a cropper there Jim.

I would think we are waiting till next week to see if we are allowed to pay a fee for any signings.

Yeah, thats the reason why I didn't include Sidwell

Agree with the others who have posted above, Brentford and Brighton rejects > other clubs.

They weren't rejects there. That's like saying Anton Ferdinand and Ady Viveash were Reading rejects.

Just back down Jimmy, you have lost this one.

Neither will anyone else with any sense.

Have less shit points. Hth.

I wonder if Ejaria can light up League One or if he’ll be as useless as ever. I am guessing that he must be our highest paid player now.

I am prepared to give him a chance this season but he needs to bring his A game. Not sure if the club will try to cash in while he still has a year left on his contract.

Given our situation, I think we should probably look to move him on, unless Selles really, really wants to keep him. On high wages and is probably one of only a couple of players who might be able to bring in a half decent fee.

Could certainly be a good player, I just can't see how it will be here without a serious shake up in attitude.

yeah looking at the interweb that lists player salaries, and i know it should be taken with a pinch of salt, but most seem to have Ejaria in the 14k p/w ballpark. Which tbf is probably about right. The next highest-paid players that we have left are Tmac Yiadom and Carroll - all on 3.5k pw.

As I say, it can be taken with a pinch of salt, but it does give us ballpark figures and goes to show how disproportionate Ejarias' wages are compared to the rest of the squad now, and it's not a sustainable wage in league 1.

Uh oh, Ian is flirting again.

First signing might not be far away. Walcott is at Bearwood today.

Two others training with us as well.
