Morton, Nugent, Balboa, Smith and Nuttall would be good enough IMO.
Nice. |

KC says there could be another one or two in by the weekend. He wants more attacking options, a midfielder and probably another central defender before the transfer window closes in October.

Spoke to some Cov supporters who would be gutted to loose Max, they said he’s a fan favourite.
As for today’s news.............underwhelming is a understatement.
I really wish Ricky all the best though and he’s miles better than Warburton.
His new name a defiantly Rocky though..

Morton a no go sadly. Had the nod he’s off to Lincoln.

Sometimes non-league signings don't work out as exciting as you may hope. But they are worth a punt...Jamie Vardy?

Bogle still available for the target man option (alternative to Harry Smith). Just see Ian Holloway (Grimsby) saying it is always a risk to get a player in on a lower wage than what they're currently on as it 'often doesn't work'. He continued to say that he prefers players on their way up, and assuming that Curle thinks the same.
Can see Warburton being made available for loan if he doesn't start well. He should get a chance to shine with Adams and potentially Hoskins out.
Omar Bogle would be a potentially excellent signing IMO. He definitely fits Curle's style and would be a potential upgrade on Oliver. He would be a risk as you say because he's on a 'downward curve' and there might be motivation issues. However, Curle might be able to sell to him as a chance to rebuild his career, get on an upward trajectory and potentially put himself in the shop window again. A one year contract with incentives and a release clause might suit both parties. |

Well, it's was always on the cards but that really is a blow. Gonna need something pretty special now to make up for the lack of goal threat up front, I don't think Mills can be expected to carry us from wing-back on that front.

As gutting as Morton off to Lincoln is...
Curle found him. Curle wanted him before he came.
He was signed in January and didnt have to play half the season cos of Corona, we only ever saw a glimpse of him really!
Have to trust that Curle to do it again, get behind the new signings and a bit of faith in the project.

But Lincoln are no bigger, or better, than us. Is it the Appleton link, but didn't they have a WBA player on loan and didn't play him ? Or, more than likely, are they just going to pay more money than us? Very disappointing, could have accepted him going to a bigger club, but Lincoln??? |

Bogle isnt the target man type as Smith or Oliver is, his aerial ability is actually not great for someone of his size. As has been mentioned, he has been on a downward curve the last few seasons. The championship seems to have been a step too far, no shame in that.
However looking back at his performances in L2, he tore it to pieces. Scored some goals truly outstanding goals. He needs to get his career back on track which is something we could offer potentially. But he prefers the ball at his feet, I wonder if our style would unlock his goal return from a few years back.
Would be an interesting signing though thats for sure.

Losing Morton to Lincoln makes sense due to Appleton. Football is massively "who you know" and this helps prove it.

Not necessarily "who you know" is it? Morton is signing a new contract, presumably he'll be getting a wage increase, and maybe Lincoln have offered to pay more of his wages than we have. Appleton was in charge of Lincoln when we brought Morton to NTFC. He wasn't interested then as Morton was an unknown, Seems all we have done is raised his (Morton's) stock and now will pay the price as one of our "equals" in the Division will have use of his services as opposed to us having them. If it was purely about "who you know" does that mean we can look forward to a load of loan players joining us from Manchester City? After all, Curle played there......  |

I expect Morton listened to Appleton's vision for Lincoln and jumped at the chance to play for 'the best footballing side' in League 1  |

Betting sites have Lincoln to finish 11th-12th and us to finish 22nd. Who would you rather play for?

Well obviously an Appleton team, because even if they got relegated they would have got there playing the 'right' way  |

If you think Morton would be going to Lincoln if Appleton wasn't there then you are an idiot.
