amazing that this is the one position where we seriously lacked cover even before this news

Was he under contract? Presumably there'll be some benefit for us. Such as a Stevenage central defender?

well we must have agreed a transfer fee
but a Stevenage central defender not so good as Lokko - no thanks

Terrific, we've lost a great talent and now need two CBs with the season 4 days away

I'm hoping we hear 'an offer we couldn't refuse ' type quotes pretty soon.We can't possibly have let him go for peanuts considering the lack of numbers at the back at the moment.

Well I for one would like to thank him for his contribution last season that played a big part in us staying up and wish him all the luck in his future career. Pretty sure jay would have wind of this happening and I am sure he is already on the case. Barnet looked like they had plenty of spare players with the 34 man squad they brought to the Gallagher and the Stones are a far more attractive option now we are up with the big boys.

I'm afraid now we're in the National, league clubs will be looking all the time, and now we're full time there's no reason for the players to have to think about it!
However, I'm sure Jay and the club wouldn't have accepted the offer if they didn't have someone lined up, so keep calm and fingers crossed!

Great move for Lokko but it,s a terrible business deal for the club, even if they have sold him for 20K plus which is being reported, what it does mean is that we are 4 days away from the season starting and we do not have any fir first choice CB, even if a new guy is brought in today it will still be a while till they all gel, and is there a player as good as Lokko still available?

There is a view (rightly or wrongly) that the clubs management focus is that it is all about money. Given the critical time factor, our need for a strong back ( especially centre back) it is hard to comprehend money before a strong campaign. What is the point strategically paying the money for a strong core team to only punch holes in the commitment just before the start of the season. Myopic muppertry at best.

It's not the best timing for sure but can you really stand in the way of a young player given the chance of league football?
There are are 46 games in a NL season, let's see who Jay can bring in
Good luck to Kevin, # living the dream!
