He has all the attributes and (if you believe what comes out of the club )just the player who fits our signings profile
Young for a sell on, hungry to impress…

Unfortunately it seems the reality is much different and in reality we don’t follow this mantra or pay money for young strikers which doesn’t tally with the soundbytes.

I wonder if this is why foyle left…
I’d heard that he’d identified tishimanga for us but we wouldn’t meet the asking price and he went to chesterfield who will now make a million quid profit instead of us.
I think from memory we offered 40k so I was told (I’m sure someone more in the know can correct me)
But we did try to sign him and from memory again ‘narrowly’ missed out….
If the 40k offer was right then I’d very much doubt we’d offer 100k for anyone but I’d be delighted if it was us.
It’d be like us to loan a player to them whilst watching another league two club buy their star man on a permanent contract.
Who knows a miracle may happen.


I wish you could donate £100k to enable the signing of said player - proper Billy Big Boots perhaps at times?

I think he will do a job. Not a stand out signing but steady.

Frustrating its another loan, someone else to try and develop for someone elses benefit.

I assume the high profile signings are just round the corner...

Don't necessarily disagree with part of this summary - under the circumstances we will soon know how good Idris is.

I know you thrive in the yearly NTFC transfer markets but you chuck around sums of money under the disguise of young players 'benefiting' the Club. Yet on your own admission you don't attend any games Roll Eyes.  More than a few days ago you suggested big news was on the way! Although I did not fall for this speculation; so remind you again what is this news based on and when will it materialize or is it just mindless b0ll0x Shocked

You’re like a loyal old lapdog who can see no wrong in anyone which is quaint but have proven on here to be a terrible judge of character.
Are you still in denial as regards DC.
Your unswerving obedience to the club is lovely but let’s wait a while and see if you come down on the wrong side of history once again.

May I ask if you ever receive emails telling you that you’ve won the lottery but need to deposit a small amount before getting paid out??

As usual you avoid a simple question - again please quantify your earlier statement this month that 'good news is on the way'
Am awaiting your comments with interest.
Regarding DC I supported the Trust in their actions regards DC Roll Eyes and donated money to the cause - did you?  Some of your comments like lapdog and unswerving obedience may possibly suggest you are 'loosing' your grip on reality. By all means throw insults and untruths but your constant digs at Club policy merely expose you as someone who delights in unsubstantiated rumours.

We clearly haven't got a pot to diddle in until the land issue is sorted and the owners inevitably move on. Genuine question (as I can't remember) did Cardoza ever cut the playing budget really tight?

The best the fans can do is get behind the squad we have and galvanise in the relative adversity that could lay ahead. It's worked in the past and we're still at the right end of the table.
The alternative if the next results don't go well is booing at JB and the players, with probably very little directed at the top. We know how it goes.

Ipswich fan says Tyreese Simpson was recalled from his Swindon loan as Ipswich have an option of another year on his contract which runs out at the end of the season. He reckons that if Simpson had been out on loan for the full season they would not be able to trigger the option. They have offered him an extended contract which he is refusing to sign and therefore could have walked at the end of the season. They expect him to go back out on loan, go get him.
As an alternative Joe Pigott is getting minimal game time at Ipswich and has slipped down the pecking order, Bonne, Norwood, Chaplin and Jackson all appear to be in front of him. He has plenty of experience and done well for Wombles.

Agree with your sentiments, same side as at Sutton with Rose up front; might as well be BAS but understand he is/or recovering from an unknown injury? Presumably Kanu could also play up front although it sounds he is a shoe in for Lewis!

On Kanu, from the Chron:
...................has struggled to establish himself as a regular at Posh though, making 69 appearances and scoring 11 goals in four and a half seasons. He has also had loan spells with Boreham Wood and Port Vale.
Might be useful up front?

You think £100k would cut it??

I mean....most seem to have forgotten that we received £300k for Caleb Chukwuemeka just five months ago and then received a further payment when he made his debut, and we also received a further sum of money under the EPP when Carney made his Premier League debut. Its also possible that we received an add on when Goode made his PL debut earlier this season too.

So with all that money coming to us, and then to see we are still scratching around for loan players in the last week before the window shuts, even if he could donate I doubt that Shooeys £100k would bring much in.....  Wink

Can he play left back just in case?

Alas, a Posh reporter is quoted in the Chron as saying about Kanu that "there have been flashes of potential though, mainly from the right wing-back position where his natural speed and athleticism served him well."

Square pegs and all that...?

Kanu could prove to be a decent signing as long as we're not
relying on him to be the lone striker/Etete replacement.

I'd like to see him playing in the three behind the striker along
with Hoskins and Pinnock: that could be a dangerous combination
at this level.

What we desperately need IMO, is a targetman: preferably a mobile
one, but above all else someone who can provide a physical presence
up top and link the play. IMO, he doesn't need to be particularly prolific himself - let's face it Etete wasn't - although that would be a bonus. At this point I would take more or less any proper lower league striker: Akinde, Hylton - any proper 'man footballer' (to quote the great Garry Johnson) who could give us a bit of menace up top.

The starting line up and formation against Salford on Saturday should be fascinating. If there are no other movements in or out by then I'm assuming Kanu up front. Continuing believing Rose is the answer has surely been answered already. No.

I notice Kabamba continued his no scoring form for Woking last Saturday (as a sub) and last night (whole match).

A targetman from Saturdays opponents perhaps?
