Weekly Round-Up

With just three weeks to go until the season kicks off, things are starting to finally get interesting.

Let's start with the bad news. H has gone to Bolton. There has been a lot of noise coming out of the Vic over the last few weeks regarding a possible return of the iconic iceman, but you just had this nagging feeling that it was taking a long time as H and his agent were hanging on to see if he could get an offer from Premiership club. That offer came last night and this morning he is a Bolton player. Bum.

Rumours are abound that Aidy is moving quickly for Birmingham's DJ Campbell instead. I saw him play for Brenford a couple of years back. He's certainly very fast, but my other memories of him are not all that complimentary, I was very surprised Brum splashed 500K on him. I'll be horrified if the reported £2m we're offering is the required asking price now.

In other silly-money news, possible Watford target Michael Chopra has gone to Sunderland for £5m, and Lee Cook is apparently worth half that, of which 15% will be heading to Watford's bank accounts. Which by my reckoning makes Boozer worth £10m and Marlon King worth more than the GDP of most African Nations.

This week also saw a good work-out at Harefield where a first team beat Wealdstone 3-0 in 45 minutes, and a team of youngsters sent out for the second half also managed to get a victory. Next up is Boreham Wood before the squad fly out to Germany for a couple of games against whoever happens to turn up.

Finally, Scott Loach has apparently impressed on trial at League One Leeds United, this trial is with a view to a loan move to League One club, Leeds United and not a permananent move to the third tier side, Leeds United.
