Is Al-Hussaini joining a possible hint that Wanjau-Smith isn't back as soon as first imagined or will he be a replacement winger / full back option if Galvin hasn't extended his loan?

Galvin has extended his loan until mid December, which is great news!
Interview uploaded as well. Don't think I'd heard him talk until now...

Also added Sandford to the injury list, but I assume he'll be returning to his parent club. Woods, Hadler and Alabi currently missing in action and not necessarily injured. Wanjau-Smith nearing a return and Luque seemingly taking part in light training with the squad but not currently doing anything too strenuous. Galvin's loan due to end 'mid-December' - tomorrow could be the last we see of him if he doesn't sign on again.

What do you mean by 'not necessarily injured' ? Havn't you heard about Tom Hadler and his concussed little toe. Its really poorly by all accounts. Suggest anything else and there's somebody on this board prpared to brand you as a liar.

Will adjust Sandford at a later date: confirmed earlier he's heading back to Millwall for treatment.
What do we do now? Hadlers so far out of the mix it's crazy and people have put a question mark over Mersin in general.

Seriously, what was the point of signing Al-Hussaini and Adarkwa and then not playing them at all.
Just a total waste of time signing them, and I can't imagine their clubs will be interested in loaning us players again.

Sandford recalled by Millwall for his rehab I assume that is for his shoulder and not because we have driven him to drink

By my reckoning, we have made use of 11 out of 19 retained players and 7 out of 13 in coming. The latter dependent on how you judge them being used. Either way that is 32 players, but only 18 getting on the pitch and arguably only half of these, at best, able to cope with the NL - and even fewer of them to any effect. Pouring money down the drain on wages? Certainly looks like it and definitely not a good business model.

Pouring money down the drain on wages? Certainly looks like it and definitely not a good business model. I was saying this yesterday to someone - if we are carrying players at this point, who haven't featured for the club for some time, surely at the very least they need to go out on loan. We are harbouring players deemed not good enough, yet bloating our squad with yet further players on loan. Surely financially it makes more sense to trim the fat first and then bring in some quality from somewhere? Earlier in this thread we were talking about Shaun Jeffers and Mohamed Faal being possible options for us up top from the leagues below - both now in the top 3 scorers in the NS with a combined 30 goals. Surely would have been a better option than loan signings who barely feature and well, Alabi, who has the physical presence of a paper bag. Dorking have seemingly done OK putting the ball in the back of the net with their two NS strikers...
