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.

At the risk of being bannished to that place in East Cheshire beginning with ‘M’ one observation i have on CCC over the last few games of the season was that he seemed desperate to get on the scoresheet rather than looking at who was around him in the box that were in better positions to ‘slot the ball’ home. Certainly a couple of chances at Bromley and there were a number of frustrated reactions as to why he shot instead of passed from his team mates in the box. Maybe its the ‘selfish striker’ mode i dont know, but as good as CCC is maybe , and im not saying he isnt before i write this, a more team focus no 10 is needed. I wouldnt want to see him leave as his skill is great but maybe his awareness in the box could be worked on and trick the opposition into thinking he is playing 23/24 style of ‘going it alone’ to draw defenders into him but then break out 24/25 style to pass to those unmarked so the team benefits from his ability scoring more next season

Just my thoughts. And getting packed ready for the knock on the door from the extradition team to cart me off to ‘M.;?)?;ld

Looking forward to 2024 season

He did have a decent amount of assists though…and there were more chances created by CCC that were missed.

I see sarcevic is leaving stockport he's a nunber 10 /attacking midfielder from what I can gather, probably stay in efl though.

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

I didn't realise that Sbarra is only 25!

CCC dropped off, I've mentioned it before to others. He was a world beater up to Jan(ish) and was merely the best in the league for the end of the season.

Anyone think Joe Sbarra  might be interested in becoming the jewel in the crown of the best attack in the league? leaving after 5 years at Solihull must mean he's league bound... but I dunno, for the first time ever in my life I can't see why we wouldn't be considered as a top 3 choice for any NL/L2 level player.

Hm. So it's not a done deal then. 🤔

Unless he's being a little disingenuous. (don't think so really)

Chris Parry has responded to one of those rumour sites who'd announced a deal had been agreed, saying he might want to check that again.

I reckon we're well off agreeing a deal with anyone just yet.

I think your points are perfectly valid, yes - all the more reason for him to choose his next club VERY carefully as he's the type of player that needs to be given licence to roam (with minimal defensive duty) and there's very little of them in the EFL setup in general.

Also I agree that the next number 10 might be a little more functional, more of an orthodox attacking midfielder rather than a secondary striker maybe.

Four divisions step up is a biggie though.
I hope we can ease him in gently.
I'm sure Parky and Sorvs have been looking at this for quite a while and will have a pathway mapped out.
Come on you Supers 👍 🇦🇹

I’d heard about this one last month, so I reckon we had him lined up for a while. Raw numbers excellent & he’s of a good age. Suspect a loan to a Conference North club will depend on how he looks in pre-season. A parting gift from Rob E.

I think a loan out to NLN (or maybe a decent NPL outfit) must be on the cards, although I think that was the plan for George Wilson but he impressed enough in pre-season to be kept around the first team squad.

Welcome to the club, Lucas - and good luck!
