Think the only two players we would want a fee for would be Smith and Hoksins, although I think we would be daft to let Sammy go now we are back in L2.
Smith will hopefully find a new suitor, just hasn't worked out here for either party.
Possibly (or hopefully) they would be looking to move on BAS and Sowerby but who knows what JB has planned.
I wouldn't mind Smith staying, he has more to him than BAS. As others have said Hoskins will be invaluable this season as he can play a number of positions and always gives 100%

Be surprised if he hasn't, as any L1 midfielder who can score 9 goals is worth a punt from any L1 Club seeking more firepower in Midfield. As I understand it both Watson and Jones players are still employed by NTFC up to the end of June. If this is the case they may have signed prelim' contracts (in Jones case) with their prospective Clubs. These agreements are not water tight.
If my understanding is incorrect please advise otherwise.
I think the "transfer" can be cancelled by either party before the actual date. Watson is a strange one, yes he finished our top scorer but until JB took over he looked average. Any club looking at him will take the full season into account. Clubs will be wondering what watson they will get

Emmm we have basically got rid of a midfielder who scored 9 goals in L1 last year for one who scored 7 goals in L2. Not really sure what’s too exciting about it tbh. Still let’s see him play first.
Its nice to see the club sticking to deadlines. I assume watson was hoping we would offer him more money and that has come back to haunt him. Watson doesnt even have a new club lined up

Guessing as no news on Watson at this point he will probably go the same way as Jones. Does JB dare to start the season with Pollock and McWilliams as the midfield two? I know we still have plenty of signings to come (maybe) but is the team as it stands on paper that bad? GK Harriman Dyche Horsfall Mills Hoskins McWilliams Pollock Pinnock Chuk Kabamba Lots of work to be done. I hope we had a ready made replacement for Jones.

Yep, same as always. This time last year people were saying how good KC was as spotting talent. Yet we lost a top striker in Oliver because he only came in on a 1 year deal, but had to keep Warburton who was given 2 (or was it 3). Whatever, he got that one arse about face
I think this proves the step up from non league to the EFL. In the last few years we have taken a gamble on Warburton, Korboa, Lobjot, Herbert no of which have made the grade. Courtney Herbert can be seen playing Sunday Morning Football for Standards Leap

Forgot about the contract x2 does not expire to end of June. Seems most of us let our expert views run way ahead! Jones signed when he was no great shakes in first spell so we gave him a chance ; now we need him😔. If we could keep the defence together plus Watson we might do ok! You Still think Jones is the king pin for us?
Jones is the one we need to keep. We don't want to see another bolger situation

Yep, deadline was the end of last week. JB’s first big test … Groundhog Day or Brave New World?
Tell them to sod off JB. If the offer isn’t good enough for them, move on. Yeh, I know the cliched bollocks about a footballer players career being short but here’s some more **** sayings for JB/LJ/RW to ponder on - and then do the right thing. “a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush” “Loyalty is a 2 way street” “The weak wait while the winner acts” “Fortune favours the bold” “Action may not always bring happiness but there is no happiness without action” And my favourite from Norma Jean herself … “A woman doesn’t need anyone that doesn’t need her!”
You know what you’ve got to do JB - pull the trigger!
They are still under contract until the end of the month so could still sign the deal. Agents thinking they can get players a better deal in L1 or L2 must be mad. No clubs really have any money to pay over the top in wages. Sometimes its better the devil you know

If that's the case we should withdraw the contract offers and get on with looking at others.
Doesnt mean they will leave. They could be in advanced talks, but if they are paying less than we can offer they may well stay

Parrish as assistant? The club are having a bit of a dig at him on Facebook this morning talking about him scoring a tap in against Cardiff in the playoffs...
His Twitter Account Slogan HARD WORK beats talent, when talent doesn't WORK HARD!!!!!! Seems to fit with JB's stance
