Yes, I was thinking that the connection with Lewis Baines might prove helpful.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: CCC
« on: Today at 08:26:23 AM »Sbarra would be fantastic but I doubt it's realistic - as others have suggested, he'll probably get an EFL move.
Connor Hall has been made available for transfer and has scored quite a few at NLN for both Chorley and Brackley - a few years younger than Beck but I appreciate Beck gives us the slightly more Route One option we're missing.
Connor Hall is a player I've always wanted at Alty and I think it's a very realistic signing for us.
The problem is (as you correctly state) we really do lack an alternative route 1 approach, a Plan B and for me, someone of Beck's calibre fits that bill.
Signing both may be viable if CCC departs.

Sbarra is more than good enough for L2. Mark Beck has been released by Solihull and is a more viable option for us.

« on: May 11, 2024, 04:46:26 PM »500K would be unbelievable. I think (should CCC leave) it'll be nearer the Stokes fee tbh but I hope you are right. Do I think Fleetwood would have been stupid? Yes 🤣Fleetwood are getting money because of his age. They will have done % deal though it's almost a standard feature of lower league transfers. See us getting some money for signing and never playing Berry. We'll do the same with Chris when we sell him I'm certain. We know from Watmore though that doesn't always work out so well.
Whatever happens, I just hope it's done quickly (and undisclosed) so the club know where they stand.
Stokes went for over 300 all in I think and he came with a wage free loan back. so that's 500k in value surely. We've gotta hope it gets bidding war silly to push to the higher end. Which as has been mentioned might come with the social media frenzy.
Again, correct me if I'm wrong (and I very well could be!) but I'm not sure age comes into it - Fleetwood agreed a transfer with us, of their own free will, for a player that was under contract with them. How well they negotiated in terms of sell-on % is up to them.
Fleetwood's owner is in jail, they were relegation fodder. I doubt they would have had the wisdom to negotiate anything in terms of selling on fee - they'd have just seen the transfer fee and run.

I'd imagine Stockport will be one for sure. It'd be lovely to revive the Trafford friendly again. Lancaster was great last year and the Dutch one was pretty interesting.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Retained list announced
« on: May 08, 2024, 03:28:30 PM »
I thought that Matty may be on the list, but glad he isn't. What's great is that we have retained the vast majority and this can only be good for continuity. So, with only what you would call 3 (or possibly 4) senior players departing, it provides a clue to the number of additions. I'm hoping for a bit of experience amongst that number, because I think that's what our young team lacks.

Absolutely loved listening to that! Huge congratulations to Marine and their 1200+fans today and I suppose (after last week) it's a case of giving it large to Macc fans on social media all evening 🤣🤣🤣

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: No trip to Bromley next season
« on: May 05, 2024, 07:11:00 PM »
Congratulations to Bromley but let's face it, we should all be mightily relieved that their direct football and plastic pitch have gone. Here's to hoping that the NL change their rules to prohibit these sorts of pitches in the future.

Hopefully, we are trying very very hard to secure the quite brilliant Matty Williams from Chester. Apart from that, I think we should be seeking to secure some older, more experienced heads to bolster our squad which is youthful enough.

Tyrese is an exciting player to watch and I wouldn't be disappointed if he returned, but his injury record is not fantastic and I think that would be a factor.

« on: May 02, 2024, 03:05:13 PM »My County supporting work colleague reckons Croadale would be a good fit for Alty.He also thinks if CCC signs for them he wont get in front of Sarcevic or Nick Powell for a while.
I think Stockport will be in for a shock in L1 so I wouldn't bet on it.

Croasdale would be a perfect fit for both parties but not a cat in hell's chance we would meet his wages.
Should Solihull win the play off final, Mark Beck would probably be available and I think he would be an excellent fit.
Matty Williams from Chester is an interesting one, as is Liam Edwards.
Obviously, we don't want CCC to leave but a very realistic scenario would see the return of Coco in part exchange.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Former Players and chances of them returning
« on: April 30, 2024, 09:48:06 PM »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
To be honest, Matty Warburton was the first player I thought of as a replacement for CCC (should he leave).

Some brilliant posts there. My Stockport-supporting cousin messaged me saying that he was glad we didn't get promoted as we wouldn't be ready for L2 yet and I think he's probably right. I've watched quite a lot of L2 football this season and I think whoever goes up will really struggle.
