Liam Shepherd, 30 year old Welsh right back who was released by Salford, is rumoured to be joining this week. |
Ended up re-joining Newport. | |

Taylor has just announced on Instagram that he's leaving the club "due to circumstances beyond mine and the management's control, the option to stay at the club has been taken away." | |

That’s a shame. If it wasn’t his or the clubs decision, does that mean it’s the injury? |  |

From his statement it feels like it was the club's decision but not Danny and Nicky's. If that makes sense. | |

More likely that Samsons transfer has fallen through and the club won't take a lower sum, therefore DC doesn't have the funds to pay Lyle a decent wage. i.e. it's all out of everyone's control (except obviously the person holding the purse strings). I don't think there's any talk of Lyle retiring? So the injury can't be that bad. Wasn't it just a bad calf strain? I know that can be serious, but it's not like a shot knee or ankle.
I note that Lyle appears to thank practically everyone connected to the club, apart from one man.
DC, understandably, seemed very keen on keeping LT, so I hope this doesn't start to create tensions within the club.
It is certainly a massive loss to the club, not necessarily on the pitch, but LT is the sort of person that you need around the place to continue to shake off the losing mentallity that years of mediocre has created. [Post edited 7 Aug 10:21]

As DC has said repeatedly, the Club has to be "lean and mean" so it looks like Taylor is a victim of that. And obviously his age and long term injury don't help. |  | | |

From the press over the summer, DC has repeatedly made it clear that he wanted LT at the club, so it's going to be a massive disappointment for him, but if there's not enough money to pay LT a modest salary, then that's it.
On a separate note, from the numerous players we've sold over the last two seasons, bringing a small fortune into the club, was it a third of those sums that goes to the academy?
Talking of the academy, how many that started on Saturday came through our prized asset?
I hope Lyle finds a club that's worthy of him. | | | |

Feel a bit sorry for Jack tbh. A hugely experienced and versatile defender, and quite a coup persuading Northampton to let us have him, and all anyone’s talking about is Lyle Taylor.
He’s definitely going to fill the Kels-shaped gap in our defence. | |

Looks an excellent signing, especially with his experience of playing alongside the skipper. | | | |

Thanks for the feedback chap, he does sound very promising indeed - Danny Cowley certainly thinks so to give him a 3 year deal. Not surprisingly, Jamie was a major factor in persuading Ben to choose us over others, looking forward to seeing him develop. |
Ben Perry has done his ACL and will be out for the season - terrible news! | |

Grim news indeed. That said, we do have cover in midfield, even if they aren't exactly the same type of player. | | | |

Hey guys,
me again...
Just wondering how Powell is getting on in his early showings? I've been a fan of his for our u21s. He's a good footballer, good engine to get up and down, he loves getting forward and has a 'heavy' left foot with good delivery, particularly with cut backs.
Very sand news about Ben Perry! | | | |

Yep and it's not about to get any better it seems. I've heard that Edwards will be going too and that there's an offer for Jack Payne that's being considered. That's one rumour that I'm really hoping isn't true! | |

I’m amazed that there’s not been much talk about JP before, if there’s a fire sale, he’s our number one asset (apart from the Cowleys).
I guess that if you’ve already decided that you are going to dump your ‘mistress’ then you’d take whatever was on offer before you do the deed. Likewise, you’re not going to spend much on her either.
I wonder if she’ll go down one last time? | | | |

If Edwards and Payne follow Thorn and Tovide out of the door things will look bleak. There'll be barely any time for new players to be brought in even if Mr Cowling lets the funds be used to strengthen the squad.
Geography was the strongest factor in the Cowleys taking the job at Colchester and it is surely the only thing that might cause them to stay in these circumstances. Danny always puts a brave face on in public but the brothers must be unhappy at the situation.
It is so disappointing as given a reasonable budget I believe Colchester United would be title challengers this season. I still maintain there isn't a better management team in the division. | | | |

Whatever happens, it’s another year where the team isn’t settled until a quarter of the season has gone.
DC/NC leaving is unthinkable. They must have covered their wages in increased gate sales, something that other clubs will be aware of. If we can’t outbid Chelmsford for players, you can just imagine the budget for another manager. | | | |

I actually think this is a good piece of business as he's never really impressed me and I highly doubt he can run at "10 metres per second". Good luck to the lad, a four year deal at a League One club is a great opportunity for him. | |

You can’t really step in his way when a massive club like Lincoln come calling.
He wasn’t the finished article, but you can be sure that he’s better than anything we are likely to get to replace him. | | | |

Talk that JP is off to Burton Albion? If so I look forward to people saying it’s a good bit of business, I’m always up for a laugh.
There are only two scenarios where our 30 year old player of the season should go to such an pisspot club. Either our main man is desperately short of money, or he just doesn’t give a shit. I don’t see any other explanations. Either way, it would be a disaster and must not happen. [Post edited 27 Aug 7:36]

It would be a terrible piece of business and an absolute disaster for the football club. Would also show how dire our current situation is. I'm starting to get concerned. | |
