Summer 2020 Transfer Window

[Irchy cob]

Like others I am happy with the signing - I don’t know where he’s going to play as Hoskins is our main attacking midfield option but it’s good to have some depth I suppose.

[Manwork04]

Hopefully he replaces Missilou, who isn’t even a footballer, he can’t pass a ball 5 yards.

I think thats one of the issues. He can, but Curle dosnt want them to play 5 yard passes!

   very clever

[everbrite]

+1 well said.

Me too

[guest2995]

Looks a good signing to me but not sure where he plays if we play wing backs unless it’s behind the front two .
Does he realise we play without a midfield I wonder ?

[Monkey]

Seem pretty stacked in the AM position with Hoskins, Korboa, Warburton and now Sowerby. I know the other 3 have played in other positions but, positions that are also well catered for.

[Irchy cob]

I’m sure I read somewhere that he can play centrally and on the right and has played right back so I’m guessing rwb wouldn’t be a stretch.

[GrangeParkCobbler]

Looking at his playing/scoring record I find it hard to believe he was/is an attacking midfielder..... he scored 3 goals in 77 league appearances for Fleetwood, his last goal coming in JANUARY 2019..... makes Hoskins look prolific!!

Sammy was out top scorer last season

Why do people always look for the negatives, he scored 4 in 25 games on loan at Carlisle which equates to 7 in a season. Although overall 7 goals in 102 appearances equates to 3 in a season but of course it depends where he was being played. Obviously he must have been doing something right as he played in the majority of Fleetwood's games last season. Presumably kept waiting for him to sign until Fleetwood signed their midfielder from Accrington.
Where will he play?. Well our resident experts say we have no division 1 calibre players so where ever he chooses. Doubtful that he replaces Missilou as he is our defensive midfielder and several on here seem to be impressed with him.
I see that Tim Oglethorpe's IQ is now being questioned as was Paul Merson's previously. Tim sees things through claret tinted glasses and can be ultra positive when predicting results but he has a good knowledge of Cobblers history and sometimes provides other interesting facts regarding the town or city where we are playing. On wednesday night he was pointing out the tower block in Bristol where only fools and horses was recorded although I could not see it on my radio.

Being negative is part and parcel of being a cobblers fan it would seem. Remember the negativity when we signed Morton. Look how that turned out

[Deepcut Cobbler]

That's the beauty of radio, you can see or imagine whatever you want to see or imagine based on the description...

I’m surprised you didn’t know that as you seem to know everything else Theobald.

[southofthecounty]

I think Sowerby should be a good signing.

On more important matters, my wife has just carried out her annual appraisal of our squad via the pictures on the club website.

Apparently Nuttall and Warburton are the best of a bad lot with Mills, Racic, Bolger and several of the youngsters coming in for particular criticism. Her overall assessment of our recruitment: We need to sign some better looking players because she wouldn't pay to see any of this lot play.

I don't consider myself particularly well qualified to comment, but my god, have you seen the picture of Mills with his hair down? WTF?

My wife has shown no interest in the Cobblers since Lee Nicholls left.

[Winslow Lee]

Does anybody have an idea of how much we payed for him? I hate undisclosed fees and wish the league would make all clubs announce the amounts of each transfer.

Deepcut has shown the way, get her to listen to radio Noddy instead? That’s what I did with my missus. In her head she imagined Joe Bunney looked like Ryan Gosling.

As they do in Portugal. There are a variety of reasons why they do it, sometimes it’s a condition of the buying club, sometimes the selling club, or both? However it can be a bit pointless as they may have to pay a sell on fee like in the case of Goode. Therefore the previous club knows, making the information freely available to a third party. However if you really want to know, both the selling and buying club have to put the dealings on their tax returns to the inland revenue so it’s probably possible to find out eventually whether the club like it or not?

Media up North are reporting it as a "nominal undisclosed fee"......so not that much!

[Welly Cobb]

He was obviously out of favour for Fleetwood, so was never going to be a lot. I remember Barton griping about an insulting fee being offered for one of his players recently, I'd guess that was us.
