Danny Rose anybody? - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Rose_(footballer,_born_1993) Northampton fans think he might be on his way out. Remember him being good for Mansfield, and surprised he's only 27
5ft8 but always been decent in the air and holding the ball up whenever I've seen him. |

I hope he’s better than the current one we’ve got! |

It’s well worth remembering that there are still players out there without a club, not getting paid and have this ego that seems to be prevalent on here, that they are bigger than what they actually are! A player can have all the best will of wanting to play for us (or anybody) but what about if the mrs doesn’t want to move or the kids are settled at school. Wasn’t that one of the reasons that we managed to keep macca from moving up to Scotland?
We don’t know who PH is actually looking at signing, all we can do is really guess at who. Which agents/players/clubs has he spoken to will be close guarded. Are we in for akinde - obviously proven but many slagging off our ‘aging’ forward line already, and I reckon he could get a LG 2 club (Crawley, Stevenage, Sutton) that would be before us in the queue.

This is an observation, not a criticism of our recruitment strategy, but in terms of free agents there's very little out there now - at least in England. That's not entirely surprising given the EFL season has already started now. I think it's increasingly likely that any new strikers will be under contract elsewhere, so either a youngster on loan or an unwanted player currently at a League Two club. Nothing to say either of those routes won't produce something decent, but I'm sure one of the reasons this is taking so long is because there's not a massive pool of options out there. |

Wow, this is depressing. I have never ever been this unenthusiastic about a season. People accepting we’re not amongst the top runners. Another season in non league, and with a potentially average squad. No marquee signings, yet the others around us manage it.
Non league is beneath us. Whether that’s a sentiment from the past or not is irrelevant to me, I personally have no time for it. I have no intention of going to games this season. I hope I get dragged in by surprising results and an uplift in results, but it’s probably not happening.
I can’t help but think the unwanted players we have under contract will haunt us this season. Oh, and of course the players that we’ve signed who are too old and readying themselves for a season on the treatment table, a la Hanson.
If you don’t spend big you rot in this league.
Last season beat the fight out of me, and this pre season has not brought it back.
I like the new owners, but I’m not hanging around another 6 years for success, no way, it’s embarrassing.
Agree with this. I’m supportive of PH but I’ve not been particularly impressed with our recruitment bar Efete and perhaps McAtee. Fox is also a decent prospect but his injury record is a worry, particularly when you look at his appearances in previous years. |

This is my take on it, it’s all well and good a few fans moaning that we haven’t got a striker (neither have plenty of other teams, or ones they’re happy with) but just bringing one in to appease Gaz down the local pub or Dave on the fishy isn’t good recruitment. Hurst will know what he wants… Perhaps a young up and coming lad from an u23s squad will be better long term than just picking up some alleged proven striker that hasn’t played for a couple of years…let’s face it, Amond was shite before he came to us… |

Agreed. I'm as gutted as the next guy that Amond didn't come back, it felt the time was perfect and I'm a massive fan of podge. But lets not forget the guy that brought that gem to our club is sat in the managers office making calls as we speak. UTM |

You’re pretty much admitting yourself that you don’t expect us to challenge. I’ve got this nasty feeling that we’re going to be paddling against the tide for quite a while yet.
Nice straw man you’ve built there. I expect us to be challenging for the playoffs but I don’t believe we have a god-given right to romp the title in our first season back. I also expect that we did have a competitive budget but the recent signings of Wrexham, Stockport and Chesterfield seem to just be an attempt to out-do each other in big money signings. We simply don’t have the unlimited pools of money that those 3 and Notts County. Obviously a rare case, people forget that Vardy was signed by Fleetwood on August 26th, around 4 games into the season. If the transfer window shuts and we’re left with a young lad on loan then fair enough, but let’s not give up all hope before pre-season is even finished. |

Absolutely right. We’ve been starved of success for so long, now it seems they are determined to make it even longer.
Are you insinuating that our owners and Management team are deliberately trying to keep us in the NL, because that is how that sentence reads? It is absolutely sickening to see the numerous negative posts on here, and this before we have even kicked a ball in the NL. Get behind the club, look what has been done so far, ok nothing is guaranteed but FFS let's back our club UTM |

Hallelujah. Someone else seeing through the touchy-feely guff.
You mean another non-supporter jumps ship with his intentions NOT to go to any games this season. |
