I feel sorry for Hal Robson-Kanu after we've strung him along all summer.

Text if anybody is interested:

Didn't conclude on the 10% and although I paid for it DE has refunded me. I helped when I was asked but things are going really well and DE has plenty of funds without me I am sure .Therefore I can spend my money elsewhere (like everyone else) and just enjoy being a fan which is ideal for me, and I am sure for Darryl.

With regard to the other clubs you mention I am planning on spending a huge sum of money on Eastleigh as its my bit of fun and is something that is a challenge to me. I am sure you spend your hard earned money on your hobbies. I am happy to redevelop the site with whatever I can get planning permission wise to help the club by self sufficient. More stands plus hotels, commercial etc etc and try and get the club as far up the football pyramid as possible. I have probably spent about £6-£7 million so far and I am sure that I will end up spending an awful lot more than that. With regard to Northampton - despite all the rumours - I am considering spending about £24,000 with them on sponsorship as KT has asked me to do so for next season. That is a token gesture to a friend. I spent more on Wolves which no one mentions - but have now stopped completely.

So moving forward I will spend a lot of money on Eastleigh, I might sponsor Northampton a token amount - only whilst KT and DB is there. With regard to OUFC if I was ever needed, which I am sure won't be the case with DE, then being involved at Eastleigh won't affect my ability to help.

In fact OUFC's biggest financial challenge is owning the Kassam - I would be surprised if any OUFC fan would contribute more than me. I am sure that makes me as big an OUFC fan as lots of die hards, even if I don't make as many games as I used to.

Nothing probable before the weekend and will be a loan.

I can't believe I am reading people trying to link us with and make a reasonable case for us signing a player who has supposedly held talks with top La Liga clubs this summer.

This is right up there with somebody suggesting Ashley Cole towards the end of the last January window.

I've always found this rumour re the Eastleigh chairman baffling. What would he get out of paying compensation for Wilder? Did we have to pay him back when when Sheff Utd paid us compensation for Wilder?

I don't think it's a rumour, the chap in question (Stewart Donald) was fairly explicit about it as far as I can recall.

He, as a friend of Chris Wilder and a previous part-owner of Oxford, felt the move would be good for all concerned so donated a portion of the compensation required to help make the deal materialise.

Anyone know why the Fleetwood game is not yet available on Player?

It's there.

Are you using the app?  If so there's a separate highlights section, they don't get bunched in with the main 'news' feed any longer.
87  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer Transfer Targets on: August 05, 2016, 14:54:15 pm
Will he come in on Monday? If he does Im guessing it will be a 6 month loan then and he wont be allowed to play in cup competitions (as we play Barnsley on Tuesday). Am I then right in thinking if he comes in for the whole season he will be allowed to play in cup competitions.

I would guess if it is Nyatanga (I think it is) that he will actually sign on Wednesday

Interview on Player said it would be a season loan.

The centre-half replacing Cresswell will be on a loan basis according to BBC Northampton on Twitter (expected within 24 hours according to Page).
89  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer Transfer Targets on: July 28, 2016, 11:27:26 am
To be fair, if Sonupe is given a contract I don't think it will be as a first choice player, he would be behind D'ath, Potter, maybe Hoskins plus any new signings in the Winger pecking order.

I would think It would be a speculative signing in the hope that he fulfills some early potential and develops into a first team player. Surely worth a punt on a 1 year deal?

Sadly with his injury issues I think Potter is behind virtually everybody in the pecking order.  Having missed almost the whole of this pre-season he isn't going to be in the first team plans any time soon and recent history suggests he's unlikely to stay fit for long when/if he gets there.

I don't understand why the details of trialists have to be kept under wraps like a big secret - by their nature trialists are usually either unproven youngsters or players who have been discarded/released - hardly gold dust

If you've got the player 'in the building' and playing games for you you've got a marginal headstart on other clubs (including those clubs who may not be aware of the availability of the player or may not currently be considering them as a target).  Keeping the trialists secret until the last minute just helps to preserve your slight advantage/headstart.

If we announced yesterday 6-7 decent trialists who'd be featuring tonight you're basically inviting other clubs to come along to a scouting event and you're diminishing that advantage.

Believe it or not this is more important to the club than keeping you waiting 24 hours to see the names of the trialists on the night.

Kane Ferdinand also!
92  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Sh*tboro our new feeder club on: July 22, 2016, 09:16:25 am
Andy Clarke moved directly as I recall.

According to Port Vale there have been no approaches for him........

Just to confirm - those of you with a Cobblers Player login can indeed watch the live stream of this through the QPR Player.  Early doors but picture quality fairly decent so far.
95  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer Transfer Targets on: July 19, 2016, 12:58:45 pm
Jeremy Casey has tweeted that he expects the squad to be strengthened this week.

Lets all calm down.

Sounds like loans though.   Seems fundamentally unhealthy to me that your best players should be loans (i.e. with £0 potential sell-on for us), particularly in the forward positions where market values are highest.

Given Smith and O'Toole are out of contract in 12 months we don't seem to have many (any?) really valuable assets at present. Maybe Rod if he continue to progress but that's about it.  Worth thinking about in a week where Oxford have sold on 2 of their young forwards for over £4,000,000....




96  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer Transfer Targets on: July 19, 2016, 09:30:47 am
Rob Hall has just signed for Oxford, he's the type of winger I'd have liked us to sign. Gave Buchanan a torrid time at stadium MK.

He's injured for at least the next few months with a long-term cruciate injury though.  Interesting player but not ideal in our current situation.
97  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: QPR Season Ticket Discounts on www.ntfcdirect.com on: July 18, 2016, 20:39:19 pm
This game is being streamed (video rather than audio) live on QPR Player so in theory anybody with a Cobblers Player login should be able to access this as the logins work across all FL clubs.  Will be commentary/analysis from a QPR perspective though obviously.

Just check and I'm able to login/watch the current premium content on QPR Player so assuming there wont be an issue accessing the stream tomorrow night with my Cobblers credentials.

Funny how everyone sang Matt Prestridge's contribution last season - and neither could he stop injuries during a game but he sure as hell seemed to keep our squad fit for the first time in many a long year.  Clearly Chris Wilder didn't rate Prestridge. Not.  Harbin is a rugby league coach and I am not convinced that training methods can cross codes.  Look at the mess that Clive Woodward contributed to at Southampton.

Not quite the same. Harbin has spent over a decade in professional football, it's hardly a leap into the unknown.

I've possibly missed it but where does it say about separate entrances/exits to the toilets?

It's in the 'Player' interview, not sure if it made the Youtube edit.

In case you don't want to listen to the Kevlin interview, main points are that Rob is happy with the squad in the main, we are looking at some long-term loans but they're taking longer to come to fruition due to loan changes and the Euro's meaning clubs are going to be using some of them for friendlys, and we are looking to add "a couple of wide players and a forward. "

Is that actually 'and'?  Haven't relistened but I got the impression that those players included the loan targets? i.e. there's 2-3 in total set to come in?

Would give us a squad of 24 I think (including Paddy Kenny) which tallies with what RP said earlier in the summer regarding squad size (23-24).
