Great news. A shame it’s only on loan.
Fingers crossed there’s no send back clause in the contract.
Could be up a good match up at the weekend v Ash Taylor. Although he was subbed off after 30 minutes in the last game so may not get the nod!

Let’s hope he does really well.
Yep and then they make us an offer we can’t refuse, basically anything!

This situation on Smith reminds me a little on what happened to JJOT - would be delighted if all goes well for Smith and benefits us of course!

Any chance we can offload Martin for the lad from Luton, then give the final spot to Ricky!?

Adams set to sign for Oldham...
Would make sense if we could bring in a wing back on loan or six month contract to replace him.

If that’s the case it’s a sad end to his Cobblers career - a combination of him losing a yard of pace and being used completely out of position has meant he’s been a shadow of his former self. I hope he does well at Oldham and wouldn’t be at all surprised if his assist stats go up again if he is played at right wing.

Adams leaving is no surprise, not really been up to it this season, seems to prefer league 2 as his level. Ricky Holmes not found a club yet ?

who says ? That picture on FB i don’t think is Adams but i could be wrong . I would rather off load Adams and get a good RWB in . As for Holmes .... hmmm i think we need other positions filling despite the fact he can do a job - as can Adams off the bench .

Looks like Adams is pretty much a done deal - shame as he's been one of our best players in recent years, but no suprise really as hasnt been the same this season. Hopefully we can bring in a good wing back to replace him.

I texted my daughter to say that Nicky was rumoured to be going to Oldham and she replied that she had seen several 'photos of him in Oldham. If he can agree terms then it looks like we have another available space.

I find that amazing. I'm racking my brain to remember the numerous moaning fcukers who said he was the second coming and that he could single handedly turn our fortunes around if utilised. So the mighty Southend, who would take Douglas Bader on loan if he could get them out of the shyte, have turned down the Messi of the lower leagues. So they've joined the ranks of clubs that have said, "not for us thanks". Clearly they have no insight into the thoughts of the binmen, chippy's, architects et al that frequent social media, who could have put them right straight away when it comes to signings, expenditure, food, the pitch, training regimes etc etc.

I would have kept him, still quality, play him in his right position etc. We may have a right wing back lined up? Desperately need to get rid of the likes of Martin and Missalou.

If Ricky gets a contract to the end of the season I think it will be at the end of the transfer window if we still have a squad place available and we have exhausted all of our other options.

And clog up a slot in our squad?

On his day c2016. He did very little in his latest spell to make me think he is worth a place in the squad. I had the same op as him as its not even back issues thats the main problem, it has a massive knock on effect elsewhere - won't take much to knock him out again and when he's only at 70% as it is... big risk.

All depends on what else is available, I agree my preference would be a L1 or above quality right wing back.
