He didn’t say, but he only played half of one half. No doubt Tim will get a better look in the next friendly.

I said this last season, but the club have very high hopes for the current U21s:

Hall, Cartwright, TLT, Ashbee, Coyle, TSF, Smith, Vaughan and Sandat are all seen as players that can break through at some point.

Compare that to the crop that just left, it’s looking promising for sure.
I hadn't realised Longman is still our player and only 23, Tim will also be assessing him as one of the youngsters, second chance?
 
Yeah he’s gone.

Spoke to my pal at the club briefly today and he said the RB signing should be announced imminently and at least one, possibly two new faces in time for the final friendly. Guessing the RB announcement is to soften the blow of Jaden going.

Sincere Hall, Xavier Simons and Stan Ashbee have really impressed.
Final friendly in turkey or of pre season ?
 
Longman - He's young and has championship experience and can score the odd goal out of nothing. Put him in a progressive team (which hopefully we will be) he can hopefully take his levels up a notch.

He's also a utility man can play all across the front and even all the way down each side even as a make shift full back. If we're running with a smaller, tighter first team squad him (and Bree - another utility man) could be vital.
 
Turkey as I'm presuming he's been told the same as me. I'd presume ( just my opinion ) we'll see Jaden announced first then incomings

You would think the media / brain team would hold off annoucing the incoming signing until the Philogene sale is due to complete , to deflect and counter any negativity regarding the sale of Jaden for a mediocre price.

We haven't really sold him for a mediocre price though. Ipswich bid £18m with a 30% sell on clause. Villa have matched that. We would have had to give Villa their sell on but means Villa now have to give us 30% whenever they sell him again.
 
Longman is nowhere near as bad as many make out. Granted he’s probably not what you’d want to rely on as a first choice attacker if you’re wanting to get in the top 6 but he’s perfectly fine as a member of the squad.

I also think there’s potentially a lot more to come from him. He’s got good technique and can hit a wicked shot.

He did play 36 first team games for Millwall last season, at least he didn't spend his time in the stiffs. Hopefully he will have gained some valuable experience from his time in South London.
