Transfer window

I fully expect there to be L1 interest in Harry Clifton at the end of the season.

The one thing we usually ask about a Hurst signing is who is he, followed by is he any good and a number to fill the squad.

A few weeks later it's he brilliant where did he find him from, Hunt, Lloyd, Emmanuel etc. Of course, this is not the case for every signing but Hurst does manage to pull 1 or 2 rabbits out of the hat each transfer window.

Slowly and surely we are on the move with improvement in each transfer window.

Quoted from Son of Cod

Hunt has come into the fold more and more as the seasons has gone on, I'm expecting him to continue to improve and begin to nail down a starting spot next season.

I had a brief exchange with a Cheltenham fan on TFF regarding Lloyd if anyone is interested...

Reading the second part of that thread, we should forget blowing a slice of the FA Cup money on Lloyd if Charlie Brown’s available - we’d pick him up for peanuts.

This :
-Stamina-excellent
-Technical ability -now adequate
-leadership -excellent
-Goal return -Excellent this season (maybe double figures)
-Positional adaptability -excellent
-Games played -excellent

He ticks a lot of boxes ,he could almost be a James Milner type higher up I think . I fully expect there to be interest and expect much will come down to how much is offered and if H wants a quicker route through than possible with us and finances on offer of course .

We have another one in Khouri who I fully expect to be a regular the season after next ,he has all the attributes to be a fine player ; think Hurst has recognised this as hes never been one to just throw kids in if they are not ready .

Neil Woods and Co are doing a great job as we are seeing 1 or 2 every season ,or every other season getting a decent run and staying involved within the first team .

Was it a 3 year deal he signed last summer? Frightening to think that young kid isn't too far off his prime now and has clocked over 200 games for us.

How much would a League One team pay for someone like Clifton?

If Harry wasn't a local lad I think there would be little doubt he would depart for league 1 next season, unless we were in it. As he's local we maybe have a bit of a chance of keeping him. Although possibly somebody may offer us money that's too good to turn down for a player in the final year of his contract?

He may tick a lot of YOUR boxes, but the question is, does he tick a lot of boxes for a League 1 Scout/Manager?

Word on the street is that H had interest from at least one league 1 team before he re-signed for us, apparently FGR which I could see as at the time their manager was the lad who was it Notts County last season so he would have had great insight into H’s qualities.
