I wonder if he'll be a starter. Not sure we saw the best of him last year but he was very good back when he was at Gillingham. His experience at MK seems to have knocked him a bit but if we can get him back to his best we'll have a very good player at this level.
Did anyone else see that Egbo declared himself as "unemployed" on his social media?
Listened to Robbie on BBC Essex this morning. Typical prickly start and he's not got any more charming but spoke a lot of sense and gave a bit of clarity on the situation and future plans. He was never going to go into much in the way of details but he did give the impression that whatever decision he makes going forward it'll be the best one for the club.
The other party have now made a similar statement. Doesn't say much but it does say they haven't given up on the club, should circumstances change, and will continue to look at League One and League Two clubs.
I guess it depends if the rumours of a greatly reduced playing budget are true or not. Evidently Taylor revealed that his offer was at 40% of his previous deal and Egbo has already announced that he's "unemployed".
The majority of last season's squad are under contract so unless we sell anyone (Edwards and/or Tovide perhaps) they'll all still be here come August. Obviously Kelleher has already signed elsewhere but hopefully Taylor, Flanagan, Egbo and Vincent-Young all decide to stay but even if they don't it frees up money for replacements and the nucleus of last year's squad remains plus we've got Oni to return and players like Lisbie, Jolliffe and Connolly are a year further on in their development. For me this the best position we've been in in the summer for quite some time.
So pretty much the same squad, aside from a few players, that outperformed every team in the division apart from Doncaster and Bradford over the last 30 odd games is now "relegation material"? That's an interesting view to take. I'm sure Macey, Iandolo, Bishop, Payne, Edwards, Tovide et al probably don't see themselves as relegation fodder.
Bit surprised by this one. Probably not the most difficult player to replace though and I do wonder if he might have found himself further down the pecking order again depending on who we sign/retain in that position. Also he has a young baby and might prefer them to grow up in Ireland. All the best to him, he gave his all whenever he played and scored some important goals too.
Was at the stadium on Monday and saw the pitch being cut. Looked great from where I was standing although ground level and peeking through a hole in the gates probably isn't the best view!
