Cornell is a free agent after being released at the end of the season, so would be free to sign on a permanent deal.

Only thing Id ask, is why you've left out Harriman? A VERY decent player at league2 level and not bad at all in league1. Maybe you've just had a glitch and temporarily forgotten about him?  Grin

Good point - yes I must confess I'd completely forgotten about him! I agree that he's more than competent at L2 level and at 28 should still have the legs to be a starter.

In that case we probably just need to sign a utility back up defender who can cover the full backs and possibly do a job at cb if required.

Re: Sammy - he's pretty much the definition of an ideal L2 squad player: can play virtually every position, rarely gets injured and will run his bollocks off. I think the abundance of signings in wide areas suggest that Hoskins would have to go it some to claim his usual starting berth this year, but who knows?

Real shame about Jones, he could definitely play.

I thought he looked very good the few times he cameon last season.

Ha ha, thought so!

I also reckon we need a utility back up defender, as well as another specialist centre back. We'd then have 4 players who could play in the full back positions (McWilliams is good there), and 3 centre backs plus young Max.

That would leave us with a squad of around 21/22 plus the kids who are on pro contracts who have yet to play.

I think any other 'shopping' would be dependent on players leaving, and then being replaced.

As for Hoskins, unless we get a stupid offer for him (150k plus) Id be very disappointed if we were to cash in. He rarely gets injured, can cover all over the pitch, chips in with some goals and assists etc. Those type of players are at a premium at our level, without a doubt in my mind he's the most under appreciated player we've had in many a year!

Northampton Town are leading the race for Kabongo Tshimanga from Boreham Wood . The prolific striker scored 18 goals last term.

Yeah, Leon Lobjoit scored 52 in a season for Buckingham. 2016.
And where has he ended up?

Interesting that all of our outfield new signings have been given 2 year contracts but the 2 'keepers only get 1 year. Does this indicate we have missed out on our first choice targets who would have got a longer contract?.

But if Harry Smith goes we will have to get another centre forward. Hopefully it's BAS instead!

Buckingham play at level 10 I believe, Boreham Wood play in the league below League Two…
Tshimanga looks exactly the type of striker that Boro would go for.

That is why they are playing in the championship next season and we are in league two.
I’ve said we should copy their game plan as ours sure hasn’t worked.

At least we now have an infrastructure in place but the proof of the pudding will be in who we actually sign to score the goals…..

My guess is we will still go down the free transfer / loan route and if that’s the case it’ll make all the spin regards identity and infrastructure look like a load of old piffle.

We’ve got the right people in (carr / calderwood etc) now for the bit that costs money.

That’s the bit that we fall down on and Peterborough don’t.

Let’s see if there’s any actual ambition this season.

We paid fees for a number of players last year, Sowerby, Rose, BAS etc. who were all very poor. It’s about getting the right players not whether they are loans, free or bought, Oliver (free) Morton (loan) did ok to name a couple.

Imo there’s no comparison
Posh do things properly and speculate to accumulate (the onus being on strikers who make the most money)
Britt asombalonga was purchased for a record fee and sold on for 6 million
Dwight Gayle £500,000-£4.5 million
Toney bought and sold for massive profit
Clarke Harris bought for a million and will no doubt be sold for many more.

I’m sure there are many more.

The difference is that they are spending proper money in order to make things work….
We are spending 50k on Harry smith etc,an expenditure of roughly 10% of the posh model.

To give an example if posh had signed Callum Morton on loan they’d have put cash on the table and made the deal permanent in order to make a few million.

We didn’t and signed Ryan edmondson on loan
