Now that is a player I hope we'd break the bank to sign!

Interesting. But I'd want to look at which of their first team squad are out of contract before making assumptions that the clear out includes the likes of Cuvelier.


going by T P's transfer history, he only likes experienced players. lets hope he dosnt have a change of heart

Im glad he turned us down in the end otherwise we'd never of had Cuvelier and Mantom :D Im suprised about it not working out at Oxford he was decent for us i thought


They probably can't afford him. Gambled on a short term contract in the hope of getting into the play offs


Exactly what I was thinking when I saw he was released. He'd probably attract interest from a few top half league one sides at least so could be a battle to get him if we tried it, but as he has played for us this season and, of course, knows our training ground, then that will surely be in our favour.

Wouldnt mind taking a look at Devaney providing we can keep him fit. Was quality on loan last season, but his hamstring record is terrible. Marcus Bean is a good shout and I'll be absolutely amazed if we dont take a look at Ashley Vincent, despite him being eternally average in this division for about the last 10 years.

I thought the same. Can't see him being much better than Hurst or Nicholls myself.

If he's released, I think he'll go a Division higher. Best hope of getting him is him staying and another loan

Lionel Ainsworth? Just been released by Shrewsbury (obviously couldn't get into the team because of super Mark Wright), but had lots of potential a couple of seasons ago. Still only 24.

Obviously we're clutching at straws here rather than listing actual rumours, but I actually think he might be worth a punt. Isn't necessarily Smith's sort of player as I don't think he works particularly hard for the team, but he looked a real threat when he played against us last season.

What about trying for Akinfenwe,he scored 18 goals last season and surely if Northampton can afford him so can we.

Summer Transfer Rumours 2012

Did you see the T-shirt Akinfenwa revealed under his shirt when he scored on the last day? It said something like "Too big to play football". Probably a quote from a disgruntled former manager!

He is mossiv though, ay he?

I see Hartlepool have released James Brown, shame for him, absolutely quality player but sadly riddled with injuries, talk about him retiring.

Id sign him up and pay him burgers. No wonder he holds the ball up well, takes half an hour to get around him.

Former loanee Lee Holmes could well be on his way back on a 1 year contract.

Is this just a guess? If true it would be a top signing.

About to be released by Southampton. He's been on loan at Swindon and doesn't want to stay with them as he wants to be nearer to his family in Mansfield. (So I've been told)
