Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

This is pure speculation on my part, but I do wish the club had shown a bit more ruthlessness with certain players. Or, if they have been privately, I don't know why it can't be made public.

MB surely knows who he wants and who he doesn’t. If players like Mengi, Chong etc. aren’t part of the plans, whether for footballing or financial reasons, I sometimes think we’d be better off just being open about it.

Something like: “They’re great lads, but it’s best for all parties if they seek a new club. As a result, they’ll be training separately from the main group.” Clear message, no confusion.

Right now, and I could be totally wrong, it feels like we’re being reactive to outgoings rather than necessarily proactive. Same with Doughty. Surely we knew there was a good chance he’d be off, so why not plan accordingly and crack on? Bring in the players we actually want for the season and move on from those we don’t.

Because if we wait until late in the window to offload someone like Chong, and we’re not ready to replace him, are we going to be a player short?
