Tyrese Sinclair released by Rochadale -  possibilty if any wide players leave, Joel Senior and Alistair Smith apparently soon to be out of conract ,probably not relaistic signings but may have been had we gone up . Josh Lundstram still contracted at Oldham but has had a  mediocre season by all accounts.

Ryan colclough??

What's Chris Senior up to?

[Amsterdam Alty]

When CCC goes, we should bring Tyrese in. Newby moves inside and Tyrese/Cranky take the left with Mooney/Justin on the right. Still a pretty bulletproof attacking line that.

Regan is capable of playing higher, and he will. But I think it should be with us.

Lundstram can rot in OL1 he jumped ship because he thought the grass was greener when it turned out the only thing green was him behind his ears. Imagine thinking you were going to the league winners and getting that negative fanbase tearing you apart after two games.

Ali Smith is actually the player we need, but there is no chance he's a NL level player any more. Same for Joel Senior. Way too good for this level without paying them too much.

Honestly, the level of scouting and player discovery we do as a club means we also don't need to worry about bringing back old boys and be confident in the names PP brings through the door.

I rate Newby out wide but has not impressed as no.10 when he has gone into that role this season.
Need someone who is capable of bits of magic in that position.
Haven’t seen enough of Crankshaw but he didn’t look that quick, maybe he can play the 10 role….?
Would love Alistair Smith as a CM, he is what we are missing.

I'd be a little wary of signing Sinclair. He only featured in 32 of 46 games both this season in NL, and last season in League Two. Many of his appearances were from the bench, and he didn't play a full 90 minutes many times. I'm not convinced about his fitness, and signing players from clubs of a lower standard than ourselves doesn't strike me as being the way to progress.

[Timperley The Best]

Its quite a specialised position number 10 .Didnt Kossy play there before ccc came in on loan ?If or more reluctantly when ccc goes the only number 10s I can think of are Nick Haughton who might be efl bound or Matty Warburton who is at Solihull but didnt play at Barnet

We wouldn’t have acquired Marriot on that basis. I appreciate it can work both ways - Oldham signing a few ex league players hasn’t been hugely successful.

I appreciate what you’re saying about Sinclair though. Fitness does seem to be a problem…

To be honest, Matty Warburton was the first player I thought of as a replacement for CCC (should he leave).

I believe Matty Warburton is returning to teaching sooner rather than later

[MarpleAlty]

I think the time for Matty Warburton has been and gone - and I just don't see Nick Haughton as an 'Alty' signing when he'd probably prefer to go and pick up more money somewhere like Oldham.

The one thing I'll say about when Alex has shifted into 10 is (correct me if I'm wrong) CCC has still tended to be on the pitch? Thus they ended up taking sinilar positions like when we had CCC and Aaron Bennett in the lineup at the same time, with neither particularly shining.

I do like Alex's use of the ball and his decision making is pretty decent compared to the rest of our forwards - he's also shown steady improvement through coaching with Parky and Sorvs.

Wouldn't be surprised to see it happen to be honest - I think 10 is his 'go to' number based on his socials so I'm sure he'd take the number at the very least!

[MarpleAlty]

If we're looking for experience in the middle of the park - and if wage bills on Google are to be believed - then Luke Young is set to be released by Wrexham I think.

Within the realms of affordable (if accurate), 30 years old. He'd be one hell of a signing.
