Not sure who Huggins is but I wouldn't want Matondo.

We've got enough wingers whose final ball leaves a lot to be desired.

Would prefer to play Kpakio on the wing.

It's not the despair, I can handle the despair. It's the hope that kills you.

A quote from 'Clockwise' with John Cleese. Apt in the circumstances.

Will Smallbone would be the only one I’d take,good midfielder

Re: Free agents?

Wed Sep 02, 2026 2:52 pm

AI searched suitable free agents:

Owen Dale
Hidde ter Avest, experienced full-back cover.
Bamba Dieng
Afimico Pululu – striker
Ryan Kent
Myron Boadu

Not heard of any of them, but I don't pay too much attention to non CCFC info.

If it was indeed BBM that didnt want to sign anyone other than his first choices (that we missed out on) then I doubt he'll say yes to free agents. Could be wrong though :bluescarf:

I agree, but if there's a more injuries, it may become a necessity.
