We sold KVV for 100k (Sc***horpe press said so) so made 25k loss on transfer fee but saved x amount on his wages for last 18months. No point keeping a player that didn’t want to be here or even sign in first place. Good luck to him. Have a feeling he will be back in lg2 next season.

Jon Marquis scores his 19th goal of the season. If there was one serious f**k up by this club , it was dismantling the side that won the league and not opting to sign Marquis . Rob Page just didn’t get it .

Couldn't agree more. Marquis was keen to sign as well.

Yet again the joy of hindsight expertise! Can you show me your and others comments saying to keep Marquis because he is good enough to score 20+ in League 1? I have no problem saying I and my friends thought he was a player who gave effort but not the finishing quality for NTFC. I await you showing your comments from 2 years ago!

Yeah hinsight is a wonderful. He certainly never set the world alight while he was here, yes he was extremely hard working but he would often miss more chances than had score, certainly never looked a lg1 20 goal a season forward and I would say very touch and go decision as to it you would offer him a new deal. If only we could all look in to the future.

After his first loan spell with us he went on to play for Cheltenham where we knew the danger he possessed and duly scored the winner for them. So when he returned for his second spell no one was in any doubt of his work rate and eye for a goal, all the attributes we needed then and still need. He has become seriously prolific since so he wouldve been shipped out yonks ago for an undisclosed 100k anyhow.

So who are we signing then Ron? Oh that's right you don't actually say Anything cohesive I hope we don't sign anyone. Wait until the summer and blood some more youth for the remainder of the season. There you go. Far more cohesive than you trying to spread a bitter campaign against our owners on every thread. Just keep it to the development thread! If you want to actually talk about anything else Cobblers that's great and would be most welcome, just make sure you don't revert to type and add in one of your usual digs!

See you can do it!

Football is subjective. I really wanted us to sign him, but then again Im a big fan of hard working 'type' strikers; Super Scott, Grayson etc. Thats why I like Hoskins a lot. And thats why I never particularly liked KVV, and Im delighted that he's been sold. Although I did warm to him a little this season. Id also sell Crookes, who cant be bothered half the time. He might be skilful, he might be our best player. But if a player cant be assed half of the time, then I don't want him at my football club!

Grayson and mcGleish worked hard and there was an end product with Hoskins, (cant fault his workrate) there is none

Whilst I understand your viewpoint, why my shoulders sink when I see Hoskins in the side is whilst his running stats are good, his lack of awareness and end product is mind numbing! If you want runners sign Mo Farah! Our team needs a Crooks alongside McWilliams and Williams type of player.

Just trawling the top scorer list from the conference (sad, I know, but I find myself doing it every January).
The names that jump out at me are Blair Turgott, a 6ft tall former West Ham winger who has scored 11 goals for Maidstone and Luke Armstrong a striker who has scored 10 goals in 16 games on loan at Gateshead from Middlesborough.
We haven't signed a highly rated conference prospect for donkeys years (we tend to leave that to boro). However, I would suggest that these are the type of players we should be looking at.

It is good to encourage and blood youth players. Howerer in order to get out of league 2 we need hardened pros and some quality.
We will always be a lower league yo yo club.
And I totally agree that Page dismantling the Wilder team was suicidal.
The ciub lacks ambition and have let their supporters down.

I agree with Drilling re Crooks. He has the Rudolph van Reluctant disease and needs to get shifted out of that dressing room as it is a bad influence especially in the younger players. He has a real talent but chooses when to use it. I also agree with the last sentence above by AbingtonCobbler.

The numerous bags of s***e we've signed since that title winning season and the useless managers we've gone through are the reasons I highly doubt Marquis would have got near ten goals in a season let alone twenty.

Do you feel we are promotion candidates this season then? Very rarely have we signed anyone in the window and it works out. Moloney and Holmes, anyone else?

Heard it's done and they deserve it, but so do several others. Will be interesting to see who joins them.

Heard its done ? From the same source as your other rumours, or is this a different source that might have substance.
