Crooks to Rovrum latest rumour...
Yeah, a decent fee I hear. Perhaps we can use it to get in a proper wide player. If McWilliams has a long term injury we could be a bit light on midfield options. |

Goff has gone to Banbury on loan.
This is good news, and confirmed my earlier breaking transfer news one at least one in and at least one out before the window closes. |

With McWilliams out it would be madness to sell Crooks, but it's the sort of decision I've come to expect as an NTFC fan.

Exactly this - and what's the betting that the fee is undisclosed and we replace both with prem/championship rookies on loan. |

He still has 2 years left on his contract, we do not have to sell. Although, do you keep an unhappy player or cut your loses?

We’d definitely need 1 more in if Crooks left. McWilliams, Foley and O’Toole are good enough for this league but not sure that would be enough to get us through the season, we’d need to be lucky with injuries and suspensions. Big fan of Crooks but if him going gives enough for a decent replacement and the mythical wide player we’ve needed for 2 years then I’m all fo it. |

That's the pain in the ar*e of the transfer window closing on Thursday but the loan window staying open for another 3 weeks after that - I can't see that there's any chance of us bringing any permanent signings in before close of play on Thursday. |

They’ve been talking about the ‘vultures’ taking our best players for weeks now, you’d hope they have a replacement already lined up as part of selling him
Still think we need 1 possibly 2 quality wingers as well

If we haven’t got a list of targets to replace each of our players then someone’s not doing there job. If there is time for someone to leave there’s time to replace them.

You don't know what will/may happen, even the great 3xbeds doesnt know. There are a few on here who think he is rubbish, some think half the team is non league standard, some would even sell Taylor, some even think Cornell is rubbish having done ok on Sat. Perhaps we ought to thank DA for persisting with Cornell even tho' we have an untried goalie on the books. |

I suspect that the next few days are likely to be pretty eventful - quite why clubs leave it until the last minute when they've had 3 months to sort things out is beyond me.
PANIC!!! |

With the enigma that Crooks is, Id sell. 1 million loss becomes close to break even in one shot. Factoring in a fee and his wages. |

DA previously said they are prepared for every eventuality should any player leave...
Like most, an untried rookie is not what's needed to replace Crooks...
Just hope we don't accept their first offer, unless it exceeds what we expected in the first place...
We are always short changed when selling our assets...
Stay strong KT!

Isn't part of the problem that we've said if the buying side meets our valuation they can leave ? Go back on that and we're asking for a problem - an effective verbal agreement would appear to have been agreed. |

What fee have you heard then or would class as decent for him? |

If Crooks does go, we will definitely need to reinvest on a quality central midfielder. The idea of Foley or even worse, Jack Bridge as his replacement doesn't inspire me.

New-ish here.
Is Jack Bridge a professional footballer?

Surprised I have seen a fair few thoughts online from folks saying they would be happy for Crooks to go. Thought he was comfortably the best player on the pitch Saturday and him leaving would be a huge loss. The lack of creativity in the squad would then be a huge concern.

In my opinion it would be a real shame to lose Crooks, he is a stand out player in this league and I would like to think with him in the team we have a better chance of getting out of this league and back to league 1 than we would without him.
