I think it would be incredibly naive for us to expect any money from transfers to go completely back into the playing squad, Premiership clubs can't do it so there is no chance we can.

We need to keep him and build but if a really good offer comes in,who knows ?

sorry its a case of selling and using the money to bring in quality for me, we need to remain a league one club. create a situation if possible, get teams out bidding each other. there must be proper interest in bart and we could use the money to boost the squad.

plenty of decent league one keepers, let him chase his dream.

i feel we hold him back.

I agree that the need to remain a league one club is the biggest priority, if that means selling and using the money to support the club off the pitch then so be it, i just feel that if we sold him at this stage given that it would be Pilks as number 1 with no cover then we would be skating on very thin ice, just imagine if Pilks got injured and we had already used our allocation of loan deals and the league refused special dispensation to sign another keeper, who's in goal then?  Aileen??

 

I wouldn't say we hold him back, if anything we are the prefect showcase for his talents as we couldn't defend a kids sandcastle.

we should keep him. it would be definite relegation if we let him go.

 

we need his talent in the goal, as we are struggling with defense lately

In games like today, Bart was the difference between winning and allowing a side creep back into a game. Majority of league one level keepers would have let some of their attempts, Colin Slater had a couple of moments due to their efforts.

I would not sell Bart, I'd offer him a nice contract which would see a 3 year extension.

Get him and Liddle to sign it now Notts.

4 - sell, 10 - dont. interesting opinions so far, i think i would still sell him and hope we can get a keeper, along with improving the midfield and defence. other teams might not get through as easily as some do, just a thought?

I have to agree, that it is in front of Bart, where the problems lie and where we need to strengthen. Surely he must stay, I personally think he is worth 12-15 points a season.

I agree - Inexperienced would be a huge task, we need to see Fabs trialed better with a League Two team. I'm not against seeing him start against weaker sides but I wouldn't risk it against bigger clubs, as Bart really does impact games.

If Bart's supported in defense - He tends to keep clean sheets or is only beaten by the odd goal.

Earlier in the season I can remember comments on PoN's wall stating he should be sold because of his performances, it seemed a small section blamed Bart for the struggle but I think he's had his best season. He's been called upon far more this term, having to make saves and pushing to get the players fired up. He was very vocal yesterday, I actually thought it was funny when he kept yelling to Fotheringham 'Keep it on the floor' - 'On the floor, on the floor'. Somebody wanted to boot it every time the ball came near him!

Bart has grown alot in the last few games, really since SD and GA came in. Credit wheres its due and all that. Well done Bart and well done management team!

 

Fabs when fit would grow into the role, just not sure now would be the time to grow into it. Then again we might not have a chance to decide if Bart leaves. Pilks in goal to cover until his hand is fit.

 

Wow. Kev Pilkington in goal for Notts. Again!

Extension has to be our main word at notts. As hissing said, bart has been very different since D&A came in. Bart, Liddle & Leacock HAVE TO SIGN 2-3 year contracts. If Derry, Abbott, Ray, Jim, Aileen want to perhaps realize a dream of playing in the championship, they have to keep this spine, I have good feelings about this group. We just need to weed out the dandelions from this team, which i think Derry will do, correctly.

COYP

We should keep him. Hes helped us alot. we managed when we got rid of kasper but he was an expensive player. Bart is a player that we need so we really shouldn't get rid him.

No definitely not. If we are ever going to build a team capable of getting promotion then we need to keep players like Bart. Although Spiess has potential he is not anywhere near as good as Bart yet because of age and experience. He also seems very injury prone and as much as I love Pilks, selling Bart would mean spending more money on another keeper!
