Happy with both of those... |

Good news about Guinness-Walker although his form has dipped a bit recently (along with every other player), not quite as sure about TJ but hopefully he’ll get better the fitter he gets. Does this suggest that Sammo’s going to get it - you’d have thought any new contracts would be decided by the new Manager?

He's been targeted by the opposition the last few games but that maybe because he is tucking in to assist the centre backs.

I agree, but it’s Sammo who decided to play him as a third centre back which doesn’t suit him in the slightest - an example of why I don’t think he’s up to the job full time. |

They may well have been offered those extensions when Jon was still here. Delighted with the Guinness Walker to the end of next season. He looks a very accomplished Left Back, often a difficult position to fill.

Good news about the two extensions, both have been excellent.

Im happy with both, surprised about TJ though given our other options in that area. Perhaps they are not as close to returning as I assumed they were! OR we are looking to play with 3 cb's moving forward.
Like others have said, they are both good league1 players. If only we had their equivalent counterparts further up the pitch!

If we are not offering Koiki or Brough another contract at the end of the season we may as well pay up their contracts to free up 2 places in January, maybe some others too.

Before we even think of signing someone we will want a manager in first

Been led to believe that we have a recruitment strategy in place that won’t change with any manager. There’s a recruitment team who will operate regardless of who comes in to take the job.
The first name from the Twitter rumour mill (Alan Nixon) is Michael Mellon
Currently on loan at Stockport from Burnley, young Scottish striker who scored goals at Morecambe a few years back. Hasn’t had much of a sniff at Stockport so far

What? Only a handful of football people work at the club and they are all in the coaching area at games. - unless they recruit the turnstile operators and ballboys for their input. |

I would imagine January could be a busy time. I wouldn't be surprised if ALL our loan players went back, providing we can with the terms on each loan. They were all signed by JB and the new man may not want any of them, particularly with two being long term injured (Morton, Mbete). A couple of players could also be released allowing KN some room to bring at least 2 or 3 in during January. Could be an interesting month, there again...

Weve been through this in the past, Salford rated Morton enough, to allow him to leave on a season long loan, and you genuinely believe that they are going to welcome back a broken version? FFS get real. Until the end of the season, he is our problem. Not theirs. |

We have a large network of scouts surprisingly. And a recruitment team that analyses data. |

Only 30 minutes of league action so far this season, 19 of those in the draw against us back in October. He was only on the bench for their recent Trophy game against Bradford so would appear to be well down the pecking order. Stockport though have been rocked by the news that Louie Barry is being recalled by Aston Villa in January, potentially to be loaned out to a Championship side (Leeds, Sunderland and Sheffield United all have Barry on their radar). This may open up opportunities for Mellon to have a bigger impact for the Hatters. |

Morton's wages have , obviously, been split between Salford and us all season. They would have given him a free but he still had a year left on a good contract so a split was the easy compromise. As long as we continue ti pay our "share" I can't see it being a problem as it costs Salford nothing extra |
