Jesus how many more midfielders do we need??

If there’s even the slightest chance he would come back, which I doubt there is, we need to pull up the anchor and launch us boat as far out into the ocean as we can get it.

Would he be the same player we had five years ago? It's a long time in football.

I’d imagine he’s still significantly better than what we’ve got…

He was excrement. God knows how many scuffed passes. Very weak in the tackle, and his positional know how was non existent. I thought he was one of the half time lads just wondered on the pitch.

Was it really five years ago? Christ. Anyway, rumours are that Wrexham are in for him. Of course.

I would definitely have Jon Nolan back here, he might not be the same player he's had a cruciate knee ligament, only 29 maybe be a bit slower then he used to be might but still a good player who Hurst knows well.

Would image he has a contract lined up if he's been released. He's had a lot of trouble with injuries of late but he's quality if fit

Yes please, but although I think it's possible, it feels unlikely.
Could be tempted into working with Hurst again for a fourth time.
Here's hoping.

| Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong Update: I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly |

I imagine the temptation of Hurst is much less than the temptation of big bucks from Wrexham. I doubt we can come close to matching what they will offer. He's hitting an age where he will be looking to get the best deal he can in his last few good years.

This is the issue and he also knows that they’re so desperate and have been so public that they’ve got cash that he’ll exploit that and get a deal well beyond what he’s probably worth or what is certainly well beyond what most sensible non league teams would pay…

Ipswich supporting mate says he's had setback after setback after a debilitating injury. It's a pass from me, and we should avoid Scannell type situations occuring again. You can't have one judgement for one and a different judgement for another with similar circumstances, or let nostalgia cloud rational thought..

Old memories alone should not bring back a player who has had well over a full season out.
Wrexham can afford to risk a contract, but we would need to be totally sure tbat he is fully fit before committing, if he was willing to return down the leagues.
We all know how he was before, has he still got it in him?

I’d take him if we could get him, we’ll not be one of his options as clubs in the EFL will take a player of that quality despite the risk
I saw this and it got me thinking can players with really bad injuries take their insurance still as long as they don’t play in the league? Isn’t that how Mike Marsh ended up at Boston?

Think that’s how Croudson was able to play for us in non league.

Not for me, with scannell, grant and to a lesser extent Wright on the books we need players that can play.

I necessarily wouldn’t be so dismissive with this one. Michael Reddy is a great example of a player with ability way above our level that we were able to attract only because of his injury record.
The fact Nolan hasn’t played in over a year will no doubt put a lot of clubs off, but if he could come here on a short-term deal to the end of the season to prove his body is still capable of the rigours of first-team football then it could be win-win for all concerned.
Sometimes links between managers and former players get overplayed, but in this case Hurst has been the manager that signed him in each of his last three moves. His career was going nowhere prior to January 2016; Hurst has clearly been a positive influence for him.

I suppose a pay per games played deal could work ?
If he would go for it?

Why would he? That's something you'd go for if you're desperate for a contract.

I think the link between Hurst and Nolan could be a big feature if Hurst was interested. You could argue that Hurst is also the a manager that got the most out of him too.
If he came here, proved himself and got a move then everyone is happy. He influences our team positively and his career almost starts again…

Because they’ll be a queue and our “pay” on offer won’t match theirs.

Perhaps his family situation (whatever that is) may come in to play at this point in his career?, where do they see their future geographically?, particularly if he can’t play for much longer

I would certainly take a gamble on him, we know that if he is anywhere near what he was then he's a quality national League player, as others has said maybe he needs to drop down the levels just to prove he can still play and put himself in the shop window, can't see it happening but if I was Hurst I would be doing all I can to tempt him back.

I don't think we can take another gamble on an unfit player, can we? Grant has unfortunately been a complete waste of money this season and Scannell has been the same for 2 seasons. LJL not nearly the player he once was either. It would be a big gamble to sign Nolan, especially as he isn't likely to be cheap.
That said, you could see him perhaps joining until the end of the season to try and get his fitness up and put himself back in the shop window. Depends on whether he's got offers elsewhere.

He went to Chesterfield from us, then Shrewsbury. But clearly he likes playing for Hurst, otherwise he wouldn't have followed him around.

You are correct; Hurst clearly couldn't have signed him when he first left Town as he was still the manager here at the time. I'd forgotten about that Chesterfield stint. Good spot.
