I believe we will see some proper players incoming before the end of January.

Management are fully aware of the issues we are facing in terms of personnel and the outgoings (Goodson and Jackson for example) appear part of a larger plan to me. They wouldn't be off in the absence of players coming in.

Unless CCC will be getting game time at Fleetwood I'd hope they see how well he has developed with us and allow us to keep him but I do think he will be gone come the end of the month.

The way loanees develop at our club can't go unnoticed which makes us an attractive prospect for the Club's around us with great academies, such as Fleetwood and Crewe, to send prospects to us.

Though I sincerely hope we can sign some players players permanently who can make an impact.

With all the players we have recently sent out on loan, as well as the ones we have lost recently, I am hoping for a bigger name forward signing in the next day or two.

The biggest issue is finding one that isn't cup tied in the Trophy, if we're planning to have a proper stab at it.

Given Aaron Bennett's name has been shared a lot (and he's been seen at games?), given he knows where the net is, he probably wouldn't be the worst idea up front - although if CCC leaves, someone like him would be needed to go straight in at 10 instead. Either way, at least he wouldn't be cup tied for the Trophy.

I think getting a decent striker/forward is more important than worrying about the Trophy

The potential financial benefits to be gained from progressing in the Trophy would strengthen our power in the transfer market.

While I think Trophy success is long overdue and a realistic target this season, the money received for winning a tie (at home anyway) just provides compensation for the half gate receipts we have to give to the opponents.

I'm sure a lot of us aren't necessarily thinking about the financial aspect of the Trophy, given it's not the most lucrative of competitions (hence why the big clubs often don't bother).

I think we just want to win it.

Starting to look fairly ominous, however we're in a strong position if he did indeed sign a two-year deal last summer as reported - especially given we seemed a hair's breadth away from losing him for absolutely nothing in this summer just gone - and he's got significantly better since then too.

If there are 'a number of EFL clubs' interested, it should certainly strengthen our hand when it comes to securing a suitable deal.

The management team surely wouldn't want to lose two key players in one 'window', so I can see this one dragging to the summer - either that, or if it's a team from the EFL wanting to strengthen their options rather than put him straight in, loan him back to us until the end of the season.

With regards to Goodson, it should also be noted that

Alty reserve the right to recall Zak after 28 days


I find it hard to believe that we won’t discuss our needs with Boston in this regard and they wouldn’t not be taken aback if we recalled him in a months time.

I think the total prize money if we win it is about £100k which is not to be sniffed at and will be a much bigger chunk of our budget than some of the bigger clubs in our league. The prestige and trip to Wembley matters more to me though.

That must be..

1. Someone to stamp his authority on games,

2. Someone to keep us on track for a top half finish,

And

3. Someone who's a class player.

Don't fancy the ambulance driver. For me, that's a Ner (actually, Ner-Ner, Ner-Ner) 😉
