Are free agents not still able to sign up outside the window?
Good point, but a bit more of a comparative market when the clubs are free to sign anyone? |

Any club that would likely compete for Jacob's signature (in our division) I suspect is already over the 2.5million wages kitty, so Im guessing that rules out most clubs? Not sure how it works, but Id have thought that would be the case?

But isn't that true in all walks of life ? I know, in the past, I took jobs that hadn't paid as much as I previously earnt but if you are out of work, you take what you can get. Surely a player, like Jacobs, would give it until a few days before the deadline and then take what's on offer with release clauses in the contract. A bit like Gabor Gypes a few years ago.
You need a job to get a job. Some employers appreciate those who help themselves by taking a job not always suitable for them. Footballers stacking Supermarket shelves; so beloved by the tabloid headlines! |

Any inbounds imminent this week?
Feel after the weekend we definitely still need some depth in the defence most urgently

I doubt the performance will have changed much in terms of priorities - one cb, one midfielder, one striker. Interviews last week spoke about dominos falling, so I guess this means we're waiting for a chain of transfers to happen before we can land who we want.

Strange times at the club...... No rush in updates regards the owners and the trust....... No rush in signing the four players we’ve been after..... Not going back in for players we’ve tabled bids for..... It’s all very quiet behind the scenes isn’t it Could be about to get very exciting....... |

I wonder if the current spike in COVID and seemingly inevitable second wave has impacted the transfer policy. Where as a few weeks ago it looked likely fans would be allowed back in grounds in some capacity at the start of October, who knows now. Maybe the club is being more cautious with the finances.

You have to think this. We're following France, Spain and others as positive tests per day increase rapidly meaning more restrictions to come. I'd be very worried for some of our rival's finances. |

Already languishing five places below us in the league, I suppose desperation has set in and they're willing to take chances with the finances again.

In fact, a mate of mine was in the BP garage near Sixfields and overheard the Pompey head of recruitment on the phone,
"Look, just pay him what he wants, he even looked half decent in that Aidy Boothroyd side at Northampton.
...
Yeah, I know hahaha, they were weren't they!?"
True story.

Ironically when you think about it, it would cost more for clubs at the minute to allow small sized crowds in than it would to carry on playing behind closed doors. This will remain the case until season ticket holders get the arse and want their monies back. Im not talking Cobblers here specific, Im talking across the board. Clubs have banked their season ticket £, and are currently not having to pay for matchday staff, police costs, stewards etc..all the usual stuff. Obviously this situation is not sustainable, just saying! |
