According to the echo (on twitter) one permanent.......two loans with one being a keeper.
I'm guessing permanent is a centre back,loans a left back and as said a keeper.

Player movement out of the club expected also - my guess would be Matt Taylor. I don't think I saw him in the minutes silence video from Friday.

That's good news as the budget must surely be at tipping point right now. I assume the player moving out is either Vaughan or Taylor as they are probably the larger earners, if it's Taylor then one of those coming in needs to be a centre half. If it's Vaughan then we are covered there with Barthram and Wynter as injury cover.

Yes, I believe GJ could bring in at least 2 players with Taylor's wages if we were still living in the world of our captain being our highest paid player when he was signed.

I think GJ understands that with the budget in or around its limit, he'll need to move players out.
I would imagine with his contacts Gary is working hard to move Taylor, Deaman, Vaughan and OSJ along so he can bring in his identified targets

The impression I had was that we've signed most of GJ targets now so I am not expecting too much more inwards movement only to change focus and get the players out to balance the books.

Is it confirmed Mal? I've not heard anything concrete but I can imagine he may interest one of our principle promotion rivals this season perhaps FGR or Wrexham?

So...what does that mean? Other than he's decided to not bother wasting his time here? He hasn't been signed by anyone?
Would have thought we'd still be paying him until someone takes him.

I've heard rumours OSJ has been banished and is not training with the CTFC first team, I wonder if the same applies for Taylor and Vaughan.

If it is Vaughan who is leaving then of the five listed players he is the one I would have been more inclined to keep. His attitude has generally been really good and we know he's a decent player at this level albeit wasn't up to the standard in league two. Still we have Barthram now so no need to retain him on league two wages.

Out of the 5 Taylor and Vaughan would be on the highest wages I'd imagine so if we can get shot of those then hopefully that gives Gary a bit of flexibility in his budget.

I have a feeling GJ has already spent their wages Exile and now need to balance the books.

OSJ and Vaughan were both training with the first team on Friday if the minutes silence video is anything to go by...

Was it definitely OSJ DingDing or could you have mistaken him for Jamal Lawrence?

Certainly looks like him stood next to Pell.

Interesting, will go back to the person who told me he was frozen out in that case.

Would strike me as a strange thing if either of them were frozen out, unless it's an attitude thing. They'll both be on the low end of the pay scale you'd think.

One of them wasn't in the video, but it looks like OSJ that's in it to me...

Would be a shame as he was meant to have great potential - but I would guess nobody knows better than Russell Milton.

Sure I read he's been let go.

Buckle gave him a 2 and half years contract. My apologies he was put on the transfer list.

Can't we all wait rather than speculate on the squad ?

I hope we still get some announcements on player movement today, I'm excited to see who else is part of GJ's master plan in operation bounceback.

By the looks of things, at least one of them was at training this morning (and won the bleep test), I expect the others are too.

Likely we're just waiting on training to finish.

To be fair this was something from someone else not really one of my "sources" who give me heads up on stuff like signings which was why I was more open about it and sceptical about it's truth.

JP is around and about today (judging by his posts) so doing the player / GJ videos, perhaps after training then the announcements ?!?

I wonder how the youth team lad (Adam Page is it?) from last season is faring and if he might get a deal

Where is Ryan Burge? I thought he was going to preseason with us.

Surely we don't need any more central midfielders given we have seven already (Pell, Storer, Hanks, Munns, Wynter, Hall and Williams).
