The Roos departure could potentially be our best bit of business in the last decade if true.

Looked good against Viborg, looked poor against Forest. Ironically the best striker against Forest was Iwunze.

Luton have bulked up around the front line so if we make a competitive, incentive-based offer we'd likely get him. Same with Iorpenda who's stalling on a new offer and contract runs out next season (they've also brought in around the AM/Winger positions). If we don't get em now, we might get em in Jan depending on if they get in or not.

I don't think Langstaff would be a Patto player. Sure he's intelligent, but he's more of a poacher, more akin to the likes of Inzaghi etc but Patto has a reliance on strong players. I'd guess that Acquah is more of the striker that Patto wants to start.

The terrible thing about this is his agent. He is seemingly brandishing him around all the time in the faint hope he'll sign for another big European club. I like Jatta - I think he's intelligent and technical but isn't the big bastard many people want, probs including Patto. There will be another striker or two if the club goes all Jarvis and gets Mai back to a Scandinavian club, I just have no idea what players they could be.

Unless Jatta or Ndlovu are sold, I doubt we'd need four strikers unless we're shifting our formation. I'd hope for Mellon personally over Acquah. If we sign Acquah, it kind of guarantee's that Jatta is staying and Ndlovu is back up.

To add the meltdown of other forums to this one, Emile Acquah has been heavily rumoured.

Michael Mellon from Burnley being mentioned.

Sam Curtis and Darius Lipsiuc mentioned for us. Don't know enough about either to say what they're like or if they'd fit straight in to the squad. Age suggests not directly first team.

@ARLukomski excellent work with the doc!

We look most frail in the AM roles which I'm sure is priority to this summer. Roberts will be a squad player as I believe Grant will be if he's not moved on. I can't see Jones play there as it was tried and ultimately classed as a failure early last season. Optimistic though, strong start so far.

Well I'm off to it using the pretext of missing the playoffs and needing my Notts fix. Just no-one mention to my partner about the many great coffee shops, bakeries and a nice beach jaunt if the weather is nice...

Haha that's all I've heard/read so far. I think it'll be a couple of "mutual terminations" next week, and then the fun can really begin!

Quite similar to when we signed Bishop, Ravenhill and Davies who were all the majority players (and captains) of respective clubs.

I've been thinking of going to Aarhus for a little while so I'll have to give this a look. Hopefully timings and cost work in my favour.

In terms of rumours, apparently we're in talks with Max Sanders from Crewe.

From a Cambridge fan "Gibbo is a good signing for Notts. We would've kept him but he wanted to move closer to home for his young kids. Played most of his earlier career as a FB but excelled with us last few months as a wide CB, overlapping and getting I think 6 goals and 6 assists. Last season was by far his best with us - he struggled a bit at times in league one but was still a useful back up even then. All Cambridge fans will wish him well I'm sure."

Abbott is still 20 as well and won't count to the registration numbers. If they're willing to give him another shot at League 1, we'll be front of the queue. Spurs have a couple who we could continue our great lineage of loans. Akhamrich who bagged 6 in 19 for Brizzle Rovers is a similar player to Luker, Olusesi looks to be a very good creative midfielder, Matthew Craig who got some decent Notts lineage (grandad is Ron Still) and is a Scotland under 21 and lastly Melia who's got a ROI cap and experience at St Patricks.

Personally, I've got a hankering for Issac Hutchinson (Brizzle Rovers), Ryan Glover (Barnet) and Tyreece John Jules (Kilmarnock).

I'm so looking forward to it. 10 years ago, Leicester were Premier League champions, now we'll play them in the league. I think the bro's will be excited about the prospect as they did when we went up to League 2 and they really went all out. Top half finish for me Clive.

I'd suspect it'll be a League 2 team, offering him a starting position at somewhere like Crewe/Grimsby/Chesterfield. I don't think he perfectly maps into our gameplan, and as much as I thought I wouldn't say this, but given that he's gonna be a squad/bench player, I'd much see that given to Grant, given what he offers in pressing/gameplans.

I'd give both Platt and Rod a year extension. Platt can go out on loan if he doesn't perform. If we go down, at least we could tie him up for a season in league 2. Tsaroulla I'd give an extra year and extend Norburn as well. Hinchy, Grant, Roos, Bennetts and Maz I'd respectfully release and I wouldn't sign Tangen. Enoru and Griffiths I'd loan out. Traore will almost definitely be sold as well. Main priority is those AM spots and obviously I'd love to see Luker and Iorpenda back, so that's imperitive. Also depends what happens to Jatta as his price will be premium and we're likely to get above a mil for him. If that happens I'd be straight in for John-Jules at Kilmarnock and ask if they'd take Roos as part-exchange.

I think it's 50/50 for me personally. We're a very dogged team that MP has got firing when we think we're onto a loss, but injuries are likely to slow momentum at any given time. Say if Belshaw gets injured (as is the epidemic across League 2), it could be catastrophic. I'm dying to see Palmer, Jatta and Luker back, but seemingly from what Patto says, we're not gonna know for a while which I think could invigorate us. I did like Bennetts and Tangen last match and I'd love them to play where Grant and Hall play because, and I'll try to be nice, they're a total detriment to scoring. I'm obviously vying for a automatic prom because I've gone and booked a hol over the playoff dates 😅

See you in August guys ;)

I mean he loved his time here, I think if we were in League One, it'd be nailed on, but alas. I think he'll get the offers from all over, Peterborough, Eredivisie, MLS, Liga Nos midtablers. (and just to add, his agents/management company is based in Netherlands). However, if he's still out of contract say by Feb, a cheeky 18 month contract surely could be an option.
