Disappointing

22-year-old Cédric Teguia had a good season and out-of-contract this summer. Reportedly earning £710 p/w at current club.

Matthias Verreth another impressive player out-of-contract this summer reportedly earning €1,500 pw at current club. 

Aren't a lot of sides u-23s? That could include Gordon and Jones.

Maybe naive of me but I thought covid would knock some sense into "football people" but the wages are still absurd.

I thought we would have a few almost professional "squad" players, someone like Cam Hargreaves who would be on not that much and would effectively be semi pro and be contracted to work say 6 hours a week for the Community Trust and similar hours for the FC in some other capacity, such as sponsors or social events or meet and greets at hospitality if not selected.

Would have rolling two year contracts and play about 5 league starts a season but would play in the EFL trophy and early rounds of cups and would be handy to be on the bench to play the pressing game when one nil up away from home similar to his best performance when he won a blatant pen (not given!) v Cov when just constantly haranguing the Cov back line.

If we had 4-5 of those type of contracts for squad players in different positions we could use more of the budget on main targets.

If the player doesn't make it, at least their cv shows they have other transferrable skills and experiences other than just a failed pro.

I'm not sure a full development squad and all the management, coaches, physio etc and all that entails are very cost effective.

Harrison Male was good previously in his Worthing days too.

Surely that is Chris Lines for Bath and someone has added some technical jiggery-pokery to make it look like a proper stadium and give him more hair! Can't remember Linesey doing a knee slide though.

Guillem Jaime a good right back/wing back (can fill in at LB/LWB) who is out-of-contract this summer. 

Connor Ripley maybe a option now vale have been relegated.

I wonder if we have tapped into Anssi's knowledge and contacts regarding potential players emerging in Finland? Worth consideration. Exeter had a couple of Finnish (signed after Taylor departed) players, Niskanen and Sinisalo, who did well for them this season. Dario Naamo looks a good RB/RWB prospect in his homeland.
