I've seen some utter useless (and many very 'lazy') players play for us in these last few years and despite so many of our fans claiming Hoskins is crap, I absolutely do not agree with that.

I would be very disappointed if we sell him for 'a few quid'.

As for Smith, I think it may be best for all parties to part. I think there is a decent player hiding in there somewhere, perhaps a very decent player. However, if Brady can use his wages/budget somewhere else in the team then a fresh start may benefit everybody.

I'd be fairly disappointed to lose Smith (because he has potential if used right) and very disappointed to lose Hoskins (because despite the derision he's an integral part of the team) - there are other players I'd happily lose but those two aren't on that list!
I know where your coming from because they will be replaced with bargain bucket, last minute cràp like we did with BAS.

He definitely isn't exceptional or special or ireplacable, but if I list all of the players we've signed since we've signed Hoskins, there's not many that have performed better consistently. Far more misses than hits.

Hoskins at L2 level is the best we can hope for, what does it say if we offload him and Smith and bring in loans or poor replacements?

Is the answer we are running on a shoestring??

But let’s wait I’m sure the board have a couple of quality strikers lined up on a permanent basis.

The question is what will KT do when it becomes v clear he’s getting nothing from the council?
My guess is administration!

Appreciate he polarizes opinion but SH isn't a player to let go, unless he wants out of course. Whatever money we get for him will probably pay for the open house. He won't be on huge wages either. Probably 10-12 goals we'll need to find from elsewhere.

Why would he want out? Guaranteed starting place, and regular salary. Most footballers spend their time moving up and down the country.

Let’s all be honest SH is a decent L2 player, this whole merry go round reminds me of Cardoza’s asset stripping when he knew the writing was on the wall.

I would bite anyone's hand off if they are silly enough to pay anything for our "super" Sammy!

Drive him there myself in fact!

More money each week and the chance to continue playing at a higher level.

So if Plymouth come in, and offer you a bit more, you would upsticks, and move to the other end of the country?
Not for me.

Not for me.
If I was offered £1 a month more then no
If I was offered say £1500 a month more for 2/3 years then I would.

Smith passing a medical might be an issue , otherwise i think we would offload quickly .
We would not want to lose Sam - he is an asset at division 2 level and has pace .

He’ll be well aware of the mixed fan’s opinion of him, so never going to be a club legend. It’s a notoriously short career and could be the difference of being on £75k to getting £100k a year for all we know. Might not be married with two kids settled in a Northampton school. If he got the opportunity I’m sure he’d consider staying in league one and a new challenge, especially after reading that fixture list!

With Kabamba signing and Chucks putting in some good performances at the end of the year it makes sense to try and offload some of the 4 attackers at the club to bring in players in other positions. Given the choice I’d keep Hoskins and Smith and offload Rose and BAS, but it’s no surprise there’s only reported interest in the first two mentioned and not the two I’d let go.
