Colback and Fox 11:52 - Jul 5 with 2638 views | derbyhoop | I presume they have both been released. You'd think/hope there would be a formal, farewell from the club. |  |

Colback and Fox on 12:31 - Jul 5 with 2505 views | WestonsuperR | I’m guessing we have made them an offer, probably lower than they would like and they are currently considering options, maybe talking to other clubs. Cant offer them a farewell if a chance they could still be with us. |  | |  |

I would imagine that you're correct, but I would think that we would put a date deadline on any offer. |  | |  |
Colback and Fox on 16:02 - Jul 5 with 1953 views | LazyFan | Club is using them as backups in case they don't get adequate replacements. Andersen got the heave-ho when they knew Poku was on the cards. It will be the same for these two. We know we need a LB, CF and DMC in that order. I think we short again with JCS still being out (if was not for Richards, the Matty Rose award would be going to him), I would renew Foxy on the lowest of the low anyway, as he can also play CB as well as LB, which gives us decent cover. Remember, there is no Edwards to bail us out this time. |  |

You make a good point on Fox given JCS issues. If we assume JCS won’t be fit, we have Mbengue, Cook, Morrison, Dunne. But is it better to use the young lad from Aberdeen to play today or use Fox if we have other injury issues? I’d probably go for him rather than Fox. I’d definitely be keen on giving Colback a contract as long as not too expensive. |  | |  |

The lad from Aberdeen is 17yo. I'm all for moving players up from the DS, but that would be a huge risk. |  |

So is playing Fox when he is having one of his bad days! |  | |  |
Colback and Fox on 17:23 - Jul 5 with 1596 views | JamesB1979 | Maybe look to get last minute experienced loan in during August. Unless JCS gets fit by then, we have to assume he’ll be out again. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

The club have aleady said JCS won't be fit for the start of the season but will be back in the early stages whenever that is. |  | |  |

Yes I know. Issue is it seems like another delay. And given his track record, I’m not confident he will be back soon. |  | |  |
Colback and Fox on 19:07 - Jul 5 with 1230 views | BklynRanger | I think CB is one are where we're unusually fine: Cook, Morrison, Mbengue, Dunne as an option, Field too, Akindileni. [Post edited 5 Jul 19:17]
