I don’t think Tshimanga will go anywhere he’s too important for them, Chesterfield have spent big and gambled on getting promoted this season. If by the end of the season they haven’t been promoted I can see him moving on.

I think Chesterfield are just trying to put eyes on other teams assets, I don't think they will or would want to sell Kabongo Tshimanga.

If they gain promotion I think they will try to encourage him to stay on for that season, see how he does and then sell on the the highest bidder. It wouldn't surprise me if in his contract there's a percentage clause for Boreham Wood.

Cal Roberts isn't going to any National League team any time soon, it looks like a game on their part.

I might be the only one who thinks losing Cal Roberts wouldn't be that harmful, I actually think performances improved when he was side lined. Less emphasis on his position or creativity which hasn't quite been to his standard this season. No surprise either that his performances have lifted after this news but realistically he isn't going anywhere.

There is also no way, Notts would sell a player to a team in the same situation as us.

Hopefully his performances continue to impress, when he is in form it does benefit the club.

Cal Roberts is a class footballer and exceptional winger. I think he benefits more from playing wide in a 4-3-3 than he does playing more centrally in our usual 3-5-2. He's not a wing-back either.

Also have to remember that he was out for a full season. It takes a bit of time to come back from that and start reaching the standards before the injury. The signs have been there and he looks to be starting to head back to those levels, which is fantastic news for Notts and terrible news for NL defences.
