And apart from Streety.

Abbott for Notts County looked a very good player…

His dad (James) is a very good friend of mine. George has got a big future ahead of him.

Will be interesting to see if Grant can cherry pick some of the other league 2 talent. Adelakun at Salford looks decent.

Before the game today I thought that Jatta might be a decent replacement for Street.
After the game I have changed my mind as he didn’t get a look in from our two CBs.

I also like Jatta from what I've seen of him this season, not just because he scored in both games.

At 31 years old and playing in the national league not a chance. Watched Boston numerous times this season and hazel has never been the stand out player. Big lad holds it up well but never going to play in the football league. Can't even see him still being at Boston next season with them going full time they'll be after a lot stronger than him

He did but on the highlights i am sure he is in an offside position when the ball is played to him.
Perhaps the linesperson didn’t think he got a touch.

Hard to say really. Maybe Nixon plays him on but I'm not going to get the set square and protractor out for this one!

Suspect after the season he's had he'd cost a decent fee anyway.

A couple, Graydon from Fleetwood and Mbappe. OK, one of them is probably out of our price range but next season we have to think big. Name of the game next season is consolidation so why not go for Mallik Wilks and /or the boy Kieran Green (as Mickey Walker would say) from Grimsby.  Decent prospect. We are a very attractive proposition right now. Exciting times, let's see what the summer brings. Can't see Luton, Cardiff or Plymouth causing any problems! Bring it on!  :rtid:

Sterry and Molyneux.

Oh and there’s that Sharp lad.
If TSL, Crew and Street fancy another then we’re looking cool, take inspiration from Leyton Orient….,

I’ve seen a couple this year:

I quite like the look of Declan Rice as an engine for us

I know Virgil Van Dijk is getting on, but he could do a job in league 1

A cheeky bid for Mo Salah might prove fruitful

And finally a keeper, I’d say let’s take a punt on Alison

There you go Mr Bramall, start with these and super Grant can try and squeeze them into our squad somewhere

A couple of those have big egos and would want to be the star players in the team so there is no way they would come to us.

Tyrese Fornah out of contract from Derby, played on loan at Salford. Big and athletic midfielder he could be just what we need to upgrade our team.
Title: Re: Players from other clubs you fancy
Post by: BradwellRover on May 04, 2025, 01:33:14 pm
In terms of League 2 players, I liked the look of Fornah and Nmai (both Salford) as well as Svanporsson (Grimsby).

I think we need to be looking higher for a few though, particularly for a bit of experience.

Ossama Ashley would be the smart choice over Fornah. Spurs may want to test Abbott at League 1 level, he looked class for County.
Title: Re: Players from other clubs you fancy
Post by: streathamdave on May 04, 2025, 07:44:41 pm
Agree with Svanporsson from Grimsby. Already a good player and would improve in this team and under Mccann.  Joe Lewis from AFC Wimbledon if they don't come up. Both realistic and both would add good competition for places. Not seen much of him recently but likewise back in for Will Grigg to supplement what we have up top if Chesterfield miss promotion through playoffs? I know plenty will probably say no, but I wouldn't be against getting Marquis back. Matty Craig back? Completely left field pick Erhan Oztumer currently playing in Northern Cyprus. + we need a keeper. No Idea who. Would Love TSL to be back with us or TLT but can't see it being either.
Title: Re: Players from other clubs you fancy
Post by: Chris Black come back on May 04, 2025, 07:47:39 pm
Some wild choices there. Oztumer is 33 and playing in the national league for a country that doesn't exist.

He’s out of contract this summer, which is a positive, but is he a defensive midfielder? Still like the Fornah option, as he’s also out of contract and is a bit taller.

Title: Re: Players from other clubs you fancy
Post by: Ryaldinhio on May 06, 2025, 12:46:03 pm
Goalkeepers. Definitely need 1 possibly two depending on Lawlor contract.

TSL - from reports seems unlikely.
TLT - think this is possible now Hull have stayed up.
Grant Smith - Bromley keeper, played really well against us both times, recent new contract so unlikely.

Defenders. Personally think we need atleast 1 CB. We must focus on Olowu contract, I'd renew Tom and for me convert Bailey to CB, he could be as good as the fella below.

Demetraiou - class player, thought he was on a free but renewed deal recently so unlikely.

Midfield - need to move some on in this dept IMO. Maybe Zain W comes back into the fold? GM said he wanted Close for L1 which I'm not sure on.

J.McDonnell - 21yr old Northern Irish Notts F was on loan to Colchester this yr. Probably suit Notts F for a loan higher up, NI link with GM.
Charlie Crew - this lad will be quality, I'd like us to try for him again. A step up the league so may suit Leeds and Charlie too.
Fornah - stood out a mile every time I watched Salford. On a free from Derby, may fancy L1 and if his family are Derby it's commutable. Wages may be an issue.
Malik Wilks - available on a free, wages?
Adelakun - I would have him back, whether GM would is questionable.
N'Mai - looked a real handful and links up well with haks so should be able to do the same with the likes of Molly/Gibbo.

Upfront - hard to call. I think we will end up with an unknown on loan here because once the ball starts hitting the net value raises exponentially. Personally I I would renew Billy he will do a job at any level and get us 10goals from the bench but also his experience in the dressing room. Maybe Joe will move on, I'm not sure in that either considering the squad and budget etc forwards always carry a premium. Cant see anyone bidding for him so expect he will stay.

Street - highly unlikely but been a great player for us, will have no issues at L1. Doubt Lincoln would want to sell to a competitor, but business is business. He could be our only 'purchase' of the summer.
Nathan Lowe? - Mark Robins recent interview saying the lad did what he had to but not ready for championship??? Clearly had an eye for goal at L2 level.

Sure GM and the team have a totally different list!!!

I remember when Town beat us on the opening day of the 23/24 season Cornelius, on his debut, was the best player on the pitch. The general consensus locally is one of surprise that they've released him as he was a regular starter and one of their most consistent performers, albeit they where a poor team. Only 24 though, and wont have been on massive wages there....

The 2 I remember causing us problems in that game were Abraham Odoh & Sam Folarin. Slightly diverging career paths since then - Odoh’s in League One with Peterborough and Folarin in the NL with Hartlepool.

Cheikh Diabate 23 year old centre back released by Exeter would be a decent signing.
Ricky Jade Jones, winger/striker, 22 years old leaving at end of contract Peterborough .
Kwame Poku, 23 years old, winger, leaving at end of contract Peterborough.
Aden Flint, 35 centre back, released by Mansfield. Goal scoring defender, we could do with one who is a danger on set pieces and a bit of presence at the back.

I remember Bramall at Rotherham was well thought of from what I heard -and him getting transferred recently -

Rotherham signed him for a fee then sold him to Portsmouth in Jan 2005 - now he's been released - so he's a free agent he' san  X-Arsenal youngster  for what it's worth and has .

he's 29 but only 5 ft 9 in -  not the usual Rotherham giant "mode"

Markandy from Blackburn, on loan at Chesterfield until Jan then loaned to Orient (didn’t get off the bench the other night) Chesterfield fans still rave about him and feel him leaving contributed in them not challenging for the auto places.

In terms of League 2 players, I liked the look of Fornah and Nmai (both Salford) as well as Svanporsson (Grimsby).

I think we need to be looking higher for a few though, particularly for a bit of experience.

Svanthorson could play at league 1 I think , I'm not sure if anyone would meet his valuation though as he has a year or 2 left on his contract ; imagine he will play higher than league 2 though - the Faro lad we signed in January will be very good aswell I imagine and we are in for another this summer . The analytics doing good

I imagine the only player playing in league 1 from us next season is Hume who is out of contract and good as an attacking wing back back but can't play in a back 4 so will be interesting what sort of team go in for him .

Interested in how our Harry get's on in league 1 aswell , I doubted he had the technical capability to play in league 1 or higher will he be a starter for you there?

Just a slight point, if a club signs players from countries like the Faro Islands, Caribbean Islands, or the smaller European countries Luxembourg, Malta,Estonia etc expect a lot of postponements due to international call ups

To be fair to Clifton the role he plays in for us we don't need him on the ball too much, it's more about affecting the game out of possession.

Not as much of an impact as Clifton, considering he came as an attacking midfield player. Clifton has the happy knack of appearing at just the right time, in and around the box. To be honest Grant has really upped the ante with the signing of Robbie Gotts. Both Clifton and S’Barra are going to have their work cut out just getting in the squad!

We’re still missing that defensive ‘mester’ in my opinion, but I don’t think the manager has finished with the midfield, yet! Maybe Crew could return, who knows.

Certainly is Usher and AC isn’t the only one they’ve invested in to try to achieve promotion. They must be paying big wages too because Colins was on big money at Bolton. He could be a great signing for them but since he doesn’t tackle or head the ball and goes missing when things get tough, there aren’t too many at Bolton who’ll miss him.

I think he’s a player that always catches the eye but I think he’s a bit positionless. Doesn’t offer enough in centre mid as he’s defensively poor. Not really a wide player.
