Just seen the squad numbers on the club website. Disappointed that the player names and numbers on the shirt are black not brown.

The official numbers supplier only has standard colours, custom colours are significantly more expensive.

Having looked at our squad on the website i was surprised to see that we've signed a new keeper Matt Kerbey. I know nothing about him but was concerned to see that he was born 1st January 1901. That means he's 121 years old!! 🤣 Surely the oldest player in history.....

They have signed a Blackburn youngster on loan to play on the right side so hopefully all good with this rumour from a selfish perspective.

Buying club doesn't want other clubs to think it overpays for players Buying club doesn't want other clubs to think it has money Buying club doesn't want to put pressure on the player it buys Selling club doesn't want other clubs to think it is now "loaded" - driving up costs for a replacement In my 25 years on the board I can't think of one occasion where we didn't release the value in case people thought we had sold too cheaply I think we all know which player we are talking about. I don't know about others, but I am extremely interested to know how much was paid for the player in question, and whether or not said player is Sutton's most expensive transfer. Reading between the lines, Dave, are you saying that the fans would not be disappointed by the sum recieved for said player? My theory is anything less than a six figure sum would have been derisory for a player of his calibre, but I would not be able to hazard a guess at what a reasonable sum is in today's market.

Hi Baboonfish, I think you may have misunderstood what I said.
In my time on the board, that was never a reason for not disclosing the fee. If you are talking about David, then that was after I retired and I do not know what the fee was.

I've had a quick look at the BBC website at all the transfers in May, June and July and aside from some PL transfers, I've yet to find any sale that isn't listed as Free, Loan or Undisclosed. Seems to me that saying the fee is undisclosed is the norm in lower league football these days.

The official numbers supplier only has standard colours, custom colours are significantly more expensive. Can’t our kit suppliers stump up for them? Seems daft that SUFC on the back is brown but not the names and numbers. Brown last season. Might be more expensive but the black in my opinion devalues it and will be another reason why I will not be buying the kit.

Seems Ogundega is on loan at Kingstonian currently - not sure on the length of the loan however.
