The great big short Summer Transfer and "What the hell do we do now" Thread

[finbar70]

Arter is a great player

Annoying when he's playing against you too, exactly the energy we need. I'd feel pretty happy playing any of these 3 from the 4 of Arter, Silva, Colback and Freeman. Freeman could even play further up alongside Grabban, and Lolley/New Winger.
Good options

 

[Will.NFFC]

Arter and a winger and we’re talking!

 

[Basha73]

The academy has improved significantly though from the times of Westcarr CP & this is something that I do know a fair bit about, certainly those aged 16 - 20.

We've always done pretty well, as far back as Dawson(s), Jenas, Williams, Gemmill etc etc etc (& further).

Current crop are very good though and with FFP, this focus is not lost on NFFC - hence, the continued investment therein. Our academy is genuinely very well thought of and is certainly a positive!!

I do wonder if we'll go for Cat 1 at some point?

We certainly should go for Cat 1 even if only to limit the prospect of poaching.

I was told that we can only apply for Cat 1 at a given time within a three year cycle; we cannot apply at the moment because we do not have an on site education facility at Wilford Road.

It was also mooted that Wilford Road in not capable of housing an educational centre due to restrictions on planning

I would be very happy with Harry Arter. He may be 30, but a great addition to the team. Please sign him up!

I am only familiar with the Medical Centre in West Bridgford, where I have my very own Pre Match Parking Spot marked "Doctor"

The "Doctor on Call" sticker I got at the Car Boot sale comes in very handy

That’s a bugger. At the moment we tend to keep hold of our young players on the basis that they will get chances but there’s always the prospect of one having his head turned and us losing out big style when they move for such a minimal fee.

Arter is a good passer and skillfull. Has always been slow. Scored a goal against us last season.

He is about as good a midfield player you get at this level

There are supposedly rumours linking us to Jota at Villa, but I cannot find anything on line to that effect.

Before you ask, Plummer, he is 29 and has no resale value

 

[radfordinlondon]

Agree on SL though, I'd not sack him this season full stop unless we are bottom 3 at Christmas.

You should post like this more often 😆😆

Cornflake, popsheet please.

It stems from this

Thought the reason we didnt was caught up in the fact a PL can walk in and take your best talent?

They can do that now

 

[Calvin Plummer]

Arter would on paper at least be a significant upgrade on our current options.

 

[DR Forest]

Britt 22, Antonio 24. The type of signings you are arguing against us making lol

At no point have I argued against us recruiting players in that age range, I’ve merely defended the merits of players over that age from some posters’ apparently obsessive intent to impose on others their personal and incorrect viewpoint such players have either no resale value, are ready for the Knackers yard or both.

I've consistently said I want a balance in our recruitment, that includes experienced players but that I also want signings of that ilk. Which is what you've been arguing against. Nice to see you backtracking once more.
