Can't answer your questions, unfortunately. Noticed the ' professional deals offered to 2 under 18 players' quote on the open meeting PowerPoint. Only seem to recall a website notification of Collins signing. Hoping someone can clarify?

Collins' signing was announced at a match, at which he was interviewed and introduced to the fans, receiving the appropriate applause.

Flynn did say in an interview that he thought last season's squad was too small

Indeed. Wouldn't be surprised if we have a slightly larger squad this year.

Edwards is a left-sided midfielder but have seen nothing to confirm or deny that he's signed, still listed as u18 player on transfermarkt for instance

Leaving aside loans in & out, injuries & suspensions, and counting only fully signed & contracted players, on any given matchday, what was the maximum number of players Flynny had at his disposal for selection last season?.....

Edwards can play on either side, and is more of a attacking winger than a wide midfielder

So by position we have:

King/Townsend
Three from O'Brien, Demetriou, Howkins, Lazar, Leadbitter, Ekpiteta, Foulston
Willmott + Bristol City loanee?
Three from Labadie, Sheehan, Dolan, Bennett, KMB,
Two from Matt, Amond, Azeez, Touray.

Could we go with this if any of the centrebacks can play wingback?

I think Core Whitely will be higher up the pecking order than Touray, also think Flynn is right that we need a left back. 4-3-3 wouldn't surprise me once a left back is on board.

Yep, I forgot Whiteley. I think Touray could be a good'un. If he had been on loan at Barry from Swansea or Cardiff we'd be clamouring for a loan.

If Mickey D does sign then we will have 6 CB's.Foulston will probably go out on loan but still 5 so likely to play with a back 3 more often than not or,Marvel or MD playing LB could be an option.
