£200k for a young unproven player at our level isn’t bad business but shows our place in the world. He’s certainly not the player that left us and could have gone either way. P*sh have nailed it when it comes to cashing in on talent. Wonder what the £250k for Richard Hill equates to today? There’s an example of how things can quickly turn sour!

£258K in 1987 would equate to around £750K in today's money, less than we got for Goode.

Emmmm compound inflation is about 3.3% linear so it’s nearer to £800k, unfortunately that doesn’t really tell the full story, it’s not just the inflation on the capital it’s the overall market place, their is way more money in football now, mainly coming from advertisers and of course broadcasting, streaming etc so the whole value of footballers has been inflated, so MR Hill would have probably gone for well over a million.

It's all relative I guess as there weren't many lower league players going for (the equivalent) of £750k back in the 80's. They are disproportionally higher these days so difficult to compare. In real terms it's probably a bigger story than the £1m or so for Goode, which is relative peanuts. Edit....or what MW said

Edit....or what MW said It seems crazy to think the world record transfer in 1982 was £3M then in 1984 it was £5M both for Maradona.

It' taking a long time to appoint JB's experienced assistant, or have I missed something.

Someone somewhere mentioned Calderwood as he still lives local, but as he's still in the play offs with Blackpool atm, things will have to wait. Someone else mentioned Parrish (currently at Wolves) Someone itk must know something?

My Dad and I went for a hospitality tour during our promotion year. Wilder was asked a question about the Toney transfer and was openly livid about the fee we received. He clearly had a sense that he had the potential to make it big.

The problem is that at our level and track record we are never going to make the mega bucks. We need to get into the same dealing league as P*sh to be seeing the £5m+ sales. They also go onto become players they never would if they hung around. If he’d stayed and had a good season we may have seen £1m+ It’s just nice to look on and see a local lad being successful, especially an ex-Cobbler. If it wasn’t so far north maybe Wilder could have had him back.

Good player, would certainly be a thumbs up from me. My only concern would be how his knee is holding up, didn't he have a really bad ACL injury and keeps re-injuring it?

In that case, he's bound to end up here then! Nuttall anyone?

Yeah he fits the cobblers criteria, been injured, doubtlessly talented, loaned to FGR then released. He would need to prove his to prove his fitness first with a very robust medical, we need to move away from signing injured players FFS!

This afternoon’s headlines: 1) Lee Nichols signs for Huddersfield - not that he was ever going to give us a second look!? 2) KC signs a 2 year contract at Oldham- proving the very relevant adage that Dominic Cummings has been chatting about all day ... “the s***ter you are the more you progress!” Aka “The Peter Principle!”

"My three children were born in Northamptonshire so I like to think I'm an adopted Northamptonian and it's the same for Rico and Sammo. It means a lot to us because this is our county.

3) Ex Cobbler, Mark Hughes, signed up by Joey B. - 34 year old but might do a job fir them?

Forgive my ignorance but how are clubs signing players when the transfer window is not open. They may have been released by there clubs but there contracts run until 1st of June don't they, or have I missed something.

They have pre-agreed the terms for their contracts at their new clubs in advance of their current deal ending. Technically any player over 24 in England can agree to move elsewhere domestically free of inter-club compensation once they enter the final month of their contract, whether their club has placed them on the release list or offered them a new deal. They can actually agree terms with another club outside of England after entering the final 6 months of their deal - although that's not so much of a problem when you have a squad such as ours!
