Colchester stars available for loan

The former Watford boss has sent out a circular to Football League and non-league clubs listing players that are available. Scott Vernon, Alan Maybury, Matt Lockwood, Sam Corcoran and Russell Malton are all on the list and could be set to follow Jamie Guy and David Perkins, who recently secured loan moves to Port Vale and Chesterfield, out of the club. "I like to run with a squad of 24. I will be straight with players and I don't want to keep anyone here that doesn't want to be," Boothroyd told the Daily Gazette, "But it won't be a case of ostracising them. Over a period of time, competition for places will add to us and we'll be grateful for that in five or six months' time. "Everyone here is a valued player and I don't believe in outcasting people and sending them to Antarctica."
