Squad Appraisal for Next Season

[CobblerForever]

but I think it’s more likely we would be bringing in bang average journeymen struggling to find a club?

The trialists we've been looking at would suggest this.

I know it's moaning but the failure of the club to provide a twitter feed from the Corby game tonight and the clash of the County's first T20 home game with the MK Dons friendly on Friday night (I won't be the only one who would have gone to both) is annoying. In the latter case I thought we were supposed to be building bridges with the other main sporting teams in the town.

The County's start to the T20 campaign is as dismal as the Cobblers friendlies. Which loss to choose to watch on Friday? 😳

[Joes Sweet Left Foot]

Are we suggesting that there are quality players at other clubs who are unsettled and want to move to us, but are hanging around on the off chance we can off load Morias etc? Additionally in the event there’s a couple of weeks to go till the end of the window their clubs are going to accept this? It’s possible of course, but I think it’s more likely we would be bringing in bang average journeymen struggling to find a club?

There's always the loan market. Better to bring in a couple of young talented hopefuls than journeymen like Simpson.

[Another Pedj]

The 3/4 players co nicer need take up a disproportionate percentage of our budget. Are you suggesting that we recruit to the equivalent cost without moving them on? Apart from poor business management imagine the furore if we post another large trading loss

Journeymen are being trial led because they are still here and no targets have and will be lost due to the delay.it is best they move but if they do not,as is their want, but if they are still here at the closure of the window then they will have to try to fight themselves into contention. It's not ideal

[guest2995]

I would be happier and relatively content if we decided to keep Morias and offload Waters who is replaced with a decent centre half .
That would be a good compromise if we then played Bunney in an advanced position on the left.
I do appreciate getting rid of Waters isn’t easy though.
Maybe it has to be a season long loan with a loanee coming in for the same period?

[Another Pedj]

I think the budget remains for the centre half. The issue is the 3 and indeed possibly Williams, I do not know anything, are the forward players.

Easy to forget that we haven't signed a single loan player - I had! Perhaps once tours and transfers settle down higher up the leagues there'll be some activity on that front?

That’s true, there is hope then?

[GrangeParkCobbler]

Curle says in his Chronicle interview that Bunney is still available for transfer despite the fact he's been using him in these games. Nothing has changed on that front.

Also says that Waters and Morais are training well and that they "haven't been distracted by events that they can't control"...…..

What do you think that means??

That they've been put on the transfer list but don't want to leave.

[Lukey]

Anyone know how much we paid for Morais? and how much we want for him?

If he's on a good wages the chances of a club being willing to pay a transfer fee for him are slim.

Given that Peterborough rejected a good offer from Forest Green for a striker who hasn't really played many games above Conference South level I doubt we got Junior for a bargain price and can't see us letting him go for free just to get him off the wage bill.

The Cobblers have for the past 20 years been a secretive standalone club who pretend at every oppertunity to be 'community' and an asset but it's all smoke and mirrors to fool the people.
They are a private land acquiring enterprise that uses the club as a shield to deflect their reason for being.
Burning brides is whats happening not building them.
The Saints and Steelbacks are Northampton institutions the Cobblers have lost their way and are no longer representative of the town , only in name.

Shoo! Shoo! Back to the redev thread with your repetitive nonsense!

[guest3320]

They represent Northampton for me, you are not representative of the fan base.

[BedsCobb]

That's not so Kelvin, you have in 4 years alienated the club from its town, treading water just  relying  on its small loyal core support In which to keep the club financed, a long with our sky share etc, allows the signing of many journey men players as well as allowing us to risk youth players in important games.
This will not build any bridges, build the infrastructure,  build the support base, nothing of value to the clubs future.
The club is in decline and falling so far behind our rivals.
This is an embarrassment to our town and those aiding and abetting the grabbing of council land should hang their heads.

[Cordwainer2]

So that's another thread I can't follow as Beds has joined in with comments nothing to do with the subject matter.

Really? I'd pay good money to watch this!

I'm guessing the Cobb in your name is not short for Cobblers?  "they" "they" "they" sounds like someone talking about an ex girlfriend who cheated, total dislike for said person. Such dislike that I am shocked that you even care about the re development of the club which you spend so much time talking about.

Absolutely correct Lukey.

C'mon administrators Beds Cobb is a troll.         Please boot him out, he brings this forum into disrepute.

I've been booted off here twice  before during Cardoza era for complaining against the lack of redev and the owners inability to grow the clubs infrastructure..
Maybe they should kick into touch those aiding and abetting the systematic destruction of our clubs future growth..perhaps?
