Yeah, its definitely him.

Maybe just training with us? CB is our strongest area at the moment, not sure why we'd need another one?

I would say that's most likely. Apparently had some recent fitness issues and was released end of the season so probably just keeping his fitness up.

EDIT: Sounds like Exeter wanted to keep him but couldn't afford to offer a new deal to him

As many centre backs as possible after last seasons mess. Can’t ever have too many.

Jamille Matt would be a good replacement for Chuks. He has a year left on his contract at Newport.

This. Especially as JMT and Walsh are definitely guaranteed to have a couple of months out during the season.

I have no issue with another CB either as long as:

a) they're capable enough to fill-in and not just a squad number. If the likes of JMT, Cargill, Martin, Walsh etc get injured we need someone close to their level to step up and not an Ebanks-Landell/Wootton/Downing type - otherwise it might as well be an academy defender that fills in.

and

b) it's not at the expense of a good forward/Aneke replacement if this CB demands decent wages - there was an interview with Exeter's manager talking about how they would have to get rid of a couple of players to meet Brown's wage demands suggesting he wouldn't be cheap.

So you want someone who's really good but cheap. Don't we all? Sadly one tends to rule out the other.

Also, on paper EEL, Wootton and Downing seemed like good players. They all had pedigree at a higher level, and could have been great for us.

Not just good and cheap, but willing to sit on the Subs bench for most of the season
