Per manager on COWS Todd has been doing full training with the squad and looking good. Bene is improving and getting a scan on his hamstring today but is unlikely to be available for Saturday. Mebude and Clay are still at the club and could play as trialists for the reserves against Falkirk next Tuesday.
If seems to be taking an awful long time to come to a decision re Clay.

I wonder if they are thinking if Todd gets back to full fitness and back in the first team, then are they going to need Clay. Seems to have been here a long time for no contract being offered, you would think the player himself would be wanting to get it settled or get off to a club where he is going to get a deal

On the other hand, if they aren`t going to sign a player to cover left back, Otoo is the only alternative there and Clay would provide additional cover in midfield. From what I saw of him in the reserve match v QP he would be a capable addition. I can`t believe he has hung around so long, presumably without pay, unless an offer is likely.

As you say wee eck, I think it`s positive he is still training with us. Without inside knowledge it`s hard to say what the position is.

considering what he has gone through since the turn of the year they are never going to sign Mebude without seeing him in a game first, even after that it might only happen if Sutherland goes out on loan.
would i sign Clay if he is after similar money to what he was on down south, to be a backup and basically only play if there is an injury in another position? no chance.

McPake must be very persuasive if he can convince players to continue training with us indefinitely with no guarantee of a contract at the end of it. Cooper was understandable as he was probably desperate to get back into full-time football but you would think a seasoned pro like Clay would have plenty of other options available.

I noticed that when Clay got revealed as a Sutton player last year he was jointly unveiled with Josh Coley.They got relegated from the English leagues in the end so maybe there aren`t many options available to him at a decent level? He wouldn`t be likely to be hanging about here if other offers were on the table.

We had a guy doing some running during the warm up with a squad number for 30 odds. Maybe the fact he had a squad number might mean he has signed....

Why sign someone today so they can get a weeks training under their belt with the squad when we can leave it to Friday afternoon to save a few hundred quid.
Sat is quite a big game, would really like to see some quality brought in today and maybe if fit enough they could make the bench and give us an additional option on at.
If it’s a player requiring international clearance maybe our current owners have helped find this player and are trying to get it over the line?

International clearance is just the term used for the national association clearing it.
We have not utilised the loan market at all this year though - 1 of a possible 4 in Scotland and 1 from unlimited amounts from England - really poor going. Was this not a reason for us not signing players earlier in summer?
