I would sell Crooks over JJOT any day of the week if it was a straight choice. Like Drilling said, there are way too many question marks over Crooks not to say he isn't a good player but in IMO JJOT has a better all round game and for me you know what you are getting with him.

Like some have said a Midfield of McWill and JJOT would be a force in this league alone.

I’m with you here - I think Crooks could be a definite asset for us this season but the “outstanding”  tag that seems to be doing the rounds is still a bit premature for me - a bit more consistency and maturity to stay out of trouble is imho required - having said that the same could be said about JJOT so what do I know........

Out of the current squad, would like to bin off Kasim, Bowditch & Coddington...great work from JED giving them all 2 year deals  Roll Eyes

If Crooks goes for a decent fee & we replace him, then so be it...

As long as young Shaun stays....MASSIVE potential!

I'm always worried when our manager comes out and speaks about players not leaving unless we receive an exceptional offer. It's like he's softening the blow for the fans: we're losing a player but at least we're getting good money for him. I think this kind of statement confirms an imminent departure that  fans won't be happy with. Hope DA can allay my fears later on.

I wonder if DA will provide any updates later at the open forum or if he remains cagey.

The manager surprise surprise doesn’t always tell it as it is .
It’s a difficult balancing act because he knows players are likely to go but has to be careful how that comes across .
Notice his reaction when asked what his team would be against Lincoln - I think he was genuinely stumped because he doesn’t know who will still be here .
He will be under pressure tonight if he is having to keep things quiet for whatever reason .

Passing moulton college this morning I called in and caught the last 10mins of training. All players seemed to be their. For the whole time I watched Austin and crooks were involved in a conversation followed by a handshake. Crooks then went to shake the hands of all other coaches. Not saying he is leaving as this might be normal for him.
Would he really be training with us if he is about to sign for another club?

Disappointed if he’s gone, but if it’s too Sunderland for a decent fee you can’t really argue it.

That’s what I thought but then again he wasn’t training when I saw him. That’s not to say he wasn’t for the previous 2 hours as was only watching 10 mins at the end. It was the shaking hands with Austin and the other coaches that caught my attention. It was only an observation and probably absolutely nothing in it

Whatever happens I’m sure we all know that any transfer fees will be undisclosed so none of us will be any the wiser.

I like Crooks and would be happy if he stays, but if he goes, he goes. We're not talking Eden Hazard, we're not even talking Ricky Holmes quality.

I will say I'm pleasantly surprised that so few have left so far as when any team is relegated usually some of their 'better' players moving on in the summer is to be expected.

He's replaceable though and any fee and freeing up his wages will allow someone else to come in who could well prove to be better anyway.

I'm starting to lean this way too. Crooks out, proper winger in could make us look stronger overall.

I disagree, I personally think he's one of best players and think we would really miss him. A midfield partnership of Crooks and McWilliams against Barnet the other night looked very strong. Agree that we could do with a good winger but I don't see Austin using Crooks on the wing so wouldn't really be a like-for-like replacement. Lose Crooks and our midfield looks a lot weaker. Really hope he stays!
