Him and Notts County's fella have a Twatathon going on and it's a tight run thing at the moment.
And that's coming from a club who has Steve "No one likes me and I can't get through an interview without mentioning Alex Ferguson, give me more money to spend, shut up and do your job tubby" Evans...
It would be the most Mansfield thing ever to make 12 above average signings (for us) in the first fortnight of post season then fail to get your main striker and implode within the first month.
We will see......
Best news I've has all day about Coulthirst couldn't give a toss if we don't sign another striker as long as he is elsewhere.
Cue him scoring against us.
Sounds like we have missed out on a striker target and guesses on our forum now ranging from Omar Bogle to Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu.
Again basically no one knows.
Funny how everyone deeply believes in their own clubs financial model and everyone else is just talking bollocks.
And yes I include ourselves in that. Truth be known no one on this board knows the true financial position at their club or anyone elses. Basic fact is you either worry about it...
I agree he will manipulate anything to engineer a few more quid. It's probably more like £400k for both players and if all the Fry / Macanthony add ons are realised like Bostwick scoring the winner in the Champions League final etc.
Angol (untried but young), Rose (steady but won't get us 20 goals), Spencer (target man), Sterling-James (unknown from Solihull) no idea where this "big name" striker is coming from at this stage but we need something different.
Mellis and Digby been getting decent write ups pre season and...
As much as I love Matt Green he is just not effective on his own either got to play him with Rheady or your "number 10" has got to be pushed right up.
He can play up top on his own and he will run all day he just won't get more than 12 goals.
Will be interesting to see how the manager makes the step up as well. He has taken everything in his stride to this point but he playing style aside you can draw comparisons with Paul Cox and he just lost the plot completely and was way out of his depth although he has now bounced back a bit...
Taking my own allegiances out of it and considering all the very valid arguments I still can't make head nor tail of Chesterfields situation.
If Allen is still looking to sell then why is he lumping in money to a certain extent especially on a guy who no doubt will be quality at this level but...
So Curle is not getting his own way again and blaming everyone but himself, sounds familiar.
No matter how you justify it £4.5k on one player on this league is madness. He could do his cruciate on day one and that's that. I'm not comfortable with our spending if I'm honest but at least we...
Baxendale had one of the best debuts I've seen at our place and scored 2 clearly talented and great attitude.
Downside is he struggles with the physical side of League 2 as he is very small but would take him over Hawkridge any day.
Despite obvious differences this is not a dig but the guy who has been bullying teenagers on twitter has described the O'Grady deal as the biggest financial outlay in the clubs history!!
Good signing but is he just trying to drive them over the financial abyss before they all abandon ship??
Our lot back in today then go to Malta early next week. On our forum some have begun predictions on a starting 11 but if anyone gets it spot on I'll be stunned. Only 2 I am fairly confident on is White and Benning at full backs. Still being told 2 more incoming but no inkling as of when but...
Possible I suppose and as someone said earlier would be a bit odd Marriott going if Collins wasn't done and dusted.
At the same time it's odd if it is done and dusted that there has been no announcement.
