Pace maybe, but poor quality footballer

Smith was a poor quality footballer with no pace yet people were blarting on here when he left. Jesse did well in some games, not so well in others, but always gave his all. Goes with my best wishes

Ones things for absolute certain. In years to come no one will be thinking of Jesse in positive terms, but they will smith. Had many more better games than bad ones.

I get that and you’re probably right. I just can’t get behind the club signing an injury prone 27 year old from the worst side in the 7th tier whilst letting Curtis and Cole go. 

When you put it like that….

Are we?

Not saying Debrah was amazing but it seems counterproductive to let him go and bring in this guy who, by all accounts from Northampton fans, has the same attributes but is injury prone, and has been out of the professional game at a league 3 levels below in a team that is somehow worse than us, so it’s not like he’s coming in on good form or with any confidence.

Hope he proves me wrong but this signing screams “I have no footballing contacts and no-one wants to come to us” (understandable).

Whenever any poster puts this I don’t believe them. You’ve got in early that he will fail and if he does you’ll say told you so.

He’s not injury prone. Hes had two major injuries. Playing part time was probably ideal to help him get fit. But hey may as well boo the new guy

No. I hope he does well and have never or will ever use the phrase ‘I told you so’.

I hope I am wrong but this is the most underwhelming signing I think we’ve ever made. This is literally on par with Sinnott signing Chris Slater and Kyle Perry. 

We will likely lose Cole, Clark, Paton. This is an awful transfer window. I think fans are right to feel outraged at this present moment. What the <ovf censored> are we paying our hard earned money for?

Where have I booed him? I think he’s a terrible signing and I think that’s a valid view for someone playing for bottom of the 7th tier with 88 games at the age of 27. Wish him well, I’d love him to impress straight away and I certainly won’t be booing him next home game but on paper this is about as bad a signing we could make.

Moore had some weird pull on carol. He signed so many players, and on big wages, with such a bloated squad. New guy comes in and he getting a player from the depths of non league and having all our best players sold. It’s really weird. 

Best players? 🤔 Best potential but have not delivered at all this season!

This is a comment about Brady that I've seen a number of times from Northampton fans.

Just catching up on all this.

Devante: what a POS, but doesn’t surprise me if that’s what he’s done. Trading off his Dad’s name with a bang average career. Never a captain in a million years. 
 

Jesse: Generally liked him, seems a good lad, but not been playing, and as has been pointed out, has a mistake in him. A loan could be very sensible. 
 

Magloire: Yeah, not great playing for Workington, but at least he’s had the impetus to keep his fitness up, and some of you don’t seem to realise that he is one out of XI, and only with us til June. We’re hardly going to go out and sign the ilk of Marc Gueye are we. He looks a big unit, seems like he did ok at the Cobblers, albeit not that many games for his age. 

Well we wanted a clear out and have certainly got our wishes. Can't have it both ways. 

UTV 💪

He can head a ball. In which direction, who knows.

Apart from his head shaped like a 50p piece,  we should have feared the worst from Debra after his clumsy sending on his debut vs Bristol Rovers 2 years ago, an abject 3-0 defeat that showed relegation that season was beckoning.

He seems like a nice bloke and gave 100% for Vale, but my abiding memory of him is vs Stockport this season.  Every time he got the ball at CH Stockport retreated into their own half, knowing that he would give it back to them when a pass forward was attempted.  This became so obvious even Moore noticed it and swapped Debra and Humphreys at HT.

I wanted a clear out of dead wood. Ideally I was hoping Curtis and cole would be staying (Clark as well if he goes)

Do you have people in your contact book with people you don't know then?

  

Heaven forbid a player uses their own contacts to keep match fit. Should have employed a coach potato.

 

Here to get fit? We are a professional football club, not a health farm. Maybe that’s Carol’s next venture for the club, a rehab centre for crippled, failed pros.

Bimble, i didn't/don't want a clear out and have posted so.

At at this rate and if the rumors are true it's a bloody good job the window closes thid Monday (?) 'cause iti t lasted any longer we wouldn't have many players left.
