Thought this was a tread about transfers and transfer speculation, not a place to argue and have silly disagreements. Find another more appropriate thread for that pleae. Thank you

Every thread goes off topic in the end. Why can't someone open a 'bitching' thread in general chat so the rest of us can read the other threads in peace.
You can't fight in here, this is the war room. Oh and yes Nevers, Singapore Cobbler joined the ntfc forum back in the last century, guess what, I was living in Singapore.

I very rarely post on here but this was a transfer thread and many people have offered great opinions and information throughout the summer. However, everbrite is just absolutely pathetic and obviously has way too much time behind a keyboard. Anyone who gives him/she the time of day is just wasting their time. I think it’s an attention thing. How sad. Please don’t think you are getting your attention but just trying to get everyone else to get back to the subject. Everbrite please don’t respond as I always scroll past anything you have to say as I’m not interested but the last page is due to people biting to your stupid posts. Does anyone have transfer info?

You clearly did scroll past the comments............don't tell people what to do on here otherwise it kicks off I don't have any transfer rumours Last one I heard was Stan Collymore was going to come here when he refused to play for Osasuna but they blocked it I think that one was probably horse sh1t though I did hear we almost signed John Scales once Thats all I've got

So with Crooks to Middlesboro imminent, it was confirmed we'd make a sell on %
Figure of 1m has been mentioned of him to Boro so youd think at least 10% is a sensible minimum to expect right?
Be interested to see if we invest that back in the squad!

I still find O’cools recent post unnecessary long winded and perhaps your attention might be more useful to to remind him in the art of précis.
CJ asked about scouting (relevant to thread), and I shared what inside knowledge I had. You derailed the thread (again) by being a git (again). In the future, if you can't handle reading a long post, try scrolling past it.

An interesting post amongst pages and pages of non related tit for tat. I wouldn’t expect any of the funds to be reinvested though!

This is supposed to be a thread about players coming to the Cobblers who we are supposed to support!!
Not a thread for morons to argue the toss between themselves!!

No transfer rumours from me, but I'd love to see a rumor from ntfclad that proper striker, a poacher, is on the way in.
I attended both the Sileby and Forest games. Jury still out on the GK's, although they look better with distribution. 3 at centre back look decent.and young Max has a chance of making it. Think Fraser with Guthrie is a solid pair and wouldn't be surprised to see the latter made captain. The new right back I thought was MOM - solid in defence and whipped some nice crosses in. Last trialist did ok I thought - enough to challenge Mills. Good options in midfield, and Pollock like having a top new signing. Good strength in depth and a few goals in there. Two new proper wingers, not afraid to mix it and will cause defences big problems.
And then the strikers... erm... Kebamba looks pacey and ok, but not full of goals. And that's the problem. I don't have any confidence in any of our forwards to score regularly. I never think, "Rose will score today". Same for all. No Rico, Gabbiadini, Bayo, McGleish, Marquis, Morton etc that gave you that confidence.
Looks like another Morton/Collins/Marquis type loan is the best we can hope for?
What happened to Alex Jones coming back? Thought he had the best chance of the bunch.
Precis - We need a proper striker.

My guess, a young unproven striker on a season long loan via a club that either Carr or Foyle is close to.

If we get the player on a free, it's only half the salary of the standard of striker everyone is expecting. £100k doesn't go a long way these days.

But they must have some budget set aside still for a Smith replacement, so maybe a marquee signing isn't as far out of reach as possible? Who though?

Agree, but I was only responding to the 'riches' being touted as coming from the Crooks transfer to Middlesboro'.

As I’ve said before isn’t the problem that if you are a marquee league 2 striker you are not looking to sign for another league 2 team, you are looking higher up the pyramid. Ryan Bowman signed for league 1 Shrewsbury and Danny Rose signed for us when we were in that division, neither of who I would call marquee league 2 players. You are going to have to pay silly money for a rival to sell you their prize striker and then pay silly wages for him to want to stay in league 2. Lloyd Jones rejected a better contract from us to sign for a league 1 team.
