Why would Ibhere come here for a few months , he may aswell stay at Cambridge, UNLESS Curle is offering him 18 months

Agree with this - just to say that it looks like he didn’t train last week before missing yesterday’s match so either he is injured (should fit in nicely here) or he’s been in talks about a move.

Don't forget Cambridge signed Alex Jones from Bradford on Friday. Could mean they are looking to allow a striker to leave?

We may as well wait for the return of O' Tool as a hold up target man rather than bringing in a granddad or two in my view.

That may not be this season

I've got no issues if its a short term fix till the end of the season.
He's playing regularly and still under contract at Cambridge until the summer, so I'd imagine we'd offer him two years. If this happens it'll just prove how bargain basement we are.

Don’t get me wrong Jabo Ibehre isn’t exactly at the top of my wish list either - however if it’s a choice between him and a 19 year old who hasn’t played a league game then I know who I’d prefer. As others have said he’s hardly going to come here unless he gets offered 18 months or more - perhaps he’ll be a goal machine in the conference.

Ibehre seems pretty nailed on. Would be happier with Bayo though... Not so much with an unheard of 19 year old from Barnsley.

I don't know. We are lacking someone to hold the ball up, if he's good at that he could be useful and do a job this season and maybe next.

I heard he was now just a week away from a return. We will see I suppose. Could do a job for us up front if needed.

Cambridge fans describe Ibehre as a striker who plays like he's running in peanut butter...

If Williams goes it would be a serious tipping point.

Crooks and KVV were both excessively expensive, both obviously wanted out and had the pedigree to find clubs further up the pyramid. No problem with either sale.

Williams is a very different kettle of fish. Only joined in the summer and has 7 goals in 24 games with three assists (the same as Sam Hoskins BTW).

He should be the fulcrum of our attack, not warming the bench and certainly not replaced by a 35 year old with an inferior record.




The day Sam Hoskins scores 7 goals in 3 seasons let alone 24 games will never come!

I say we sign this guy, just so we can see Dr Feelgood referring to him as the Meistermeister in match threads...make it happen, Keith.

I heard that Nicolas Meister to the Cobblers was a done deal! That should be good enough to get it all over social media  Grin

I for one cannot wait until this window is over, and we see what we are left with to try and keep us up.

If Pierre/Turnbull/Williams go and we don't replace them with someone experienced (ie not a loan player who hasn't played league football) then I really fear for us.

We do need a big man up top, playing hoofball to Morias and Hoskins will never work. Junior can hold the ball up well if it is played into him but will never beat a big centre half in the air. Sammy has a pretty decent leap for a little fella, but the same applies.

Williams over Ibhere all day long for me, his work rate is far superior (having seen a younger Jabo playing for MK Dons) and he certainly will score more.

Completely agree Williams is miles better than Jabo Ibhere.

Andy Williams is 32, no spring chicken but he has his attributes. Ibhere is 36 let's get a grip. We could sign Elton John and you'd have some people trying to make sense of it "he'll do a job".

If we let Williams go for Ibhere , we might as well pack up now .
Williams was rubbish on Saturday but at least he knows where the net is
