Sorry about the tiny size of that, basically says Wanderers continuing to negotiate with Kamau but also subject to an attractive offer from Jets... interesting

Warland and kamau from the same agent as the other new signings. Still been happy with the signings so far
How are the Jets outbidding other teams, let alone teams owned by our co-owner?

Seems more unlikely that we will sign Elsey, to me. We now have a lot of centre backs! Also seems unlikely that we will re-sign NTS too.
The one I haven't seen mentioned on here is Stametelopoulos. I wonder if we are at the point where we will offer him a season or not.
Interesting tweet I also read is that Devlin, Ingham, Jurman, Warland, Al-Taay and Arthur Papas all belong to the agency Footballhousplus (Tony Rallis). Stamatelopoulos is also a player to that agency.

I think we are set at the back now, Pappas seemingly confirming in the story he will play with a back 4. Plenty of cover here now - Ingham, Jurman, Donachie, O'Toole as starters. Hoffman, Al-Taay, Johnny, Warland as backups. Probably signals the end of NTS.
Need some another body or 2 to play centrally - Starters being Devlin, O'Doherty and Gus, Kanta who knows, Johnny in a pinch, would feel better if we signed another CM though.
Up front needs to be the focus, right now we would probably be starting Archie, Lucas and Joey if he stays. Yuel, Kosta and Archbold backing them right now. Need a big time Marquee Striker.

A lot of current and former Jets on this list.
I don't know what to read into this about how we will set up too.
- I think our keepers are sorted. Letting one go was always going to be needed, as 3 keepers on the book in a squad-limited league is a waste.
- Right fullback we have Ingham and Hoffman. Koutroumbis has also filled in there in the past - so could do so if needed.
- Centrally, we have Donachie, Jurman, Koutroumbis, Warland, Al-Taay.
- Left fullback we have O'Toole and Mauragis.
- Centre mid we have O'Doherty, Thurgate, Devlin, Archbold, Kantarovski. Many on here think Koutroumbis is better in a holding midfield role. Personally, i'm yet to be convinced.
- Wingers we have Champness and Petratos.
- Strikers we have Goodwin and Yuel.
I think our remaining 3 spots need to be broken up to a midfielder, striker and winger.
Thoughts?

Id think Kanta will be considered more of a replacement centre back and hes def not getting a run in the mids in front of Johnny K.
Johnny K has been great in the limited time hes spent there recently and its his favoured position. Id love to see him get an extended run there especially with mobile people around him like Odoh, Devlin and Thurgate.
It also seems like anyone involved in that ridiculous kick off move we did last year has been jettisoned from the club. Good news, it was an embarrassment to the game. Hilariously enough I watched an U/13's team do it on the weekend. The had to do it several times because the other team kept going up the other end and scoring. It didn't work for them either.
