Title: JJ going to Chester
Post by: SuperRobins11 on January 23, 2020, 11:45:30 AM
According to non league tittle tattle on twitter JJ is on the verge of a move to Chester

Money plus a player

Huge loss this will be!!!

I would be devastated.

Our only good enough winger.

Hopefully only a rumour.

No idea why any player would want to play for Bill and Ben, but money does talk

It would kills us if he left

if he is on contract then say no or put £100000 on him

Very poor from JJ.

Managers who previously got rid when it didn't suit and a club a few points above us.

Feel for Parkinson if true.

I think this might be true.  Same twitter account has us in talks with Fylde for Matt Kosylo.  He used to be at Nantwich... Ahem! and from what I can see he looks class.

Don’t believe a word coming from that Twitter account. Linked us with a few players last season, Jordan was apparently nailed on to join Chester etc etc...none of which happened. It’s all click bait, aimed I’m sure at unsettling Clubs.

Disappointed to see people falling for it tbh, one of the many downsides of social media.

Post by: One Foot in the Grave on January 23, 2020, 03:50:02 PM
If 2 + 2 don't make 5, Kosylo averaged almost a goal every three games in his previous spell with Halifax, so would perhaps be a decent fit.

Remember that JJ was married in the summer, so money will certainly talk there.

Walters coming back and rumours about Southport players joining is interesting

It is what it is..."Tittle Tattle"... and it has to be admitted that they have got it wrong on plenty of occasions.  However, a few times they have been correct and I just have a gut feeling that there might be something behind this particular rumour.  I do hope that I am wrong and I will happily admit that I was mugged off if that is indeed the case.

Judas.

Not sure if he's gone for a packet of quavers or a multi pack. But if we can't match Chester after a FA Cup run and our growing gates it's a shamble.

No decent player should leave us for someone at this level.

If he goes  hes had 3 good seasons here and if he gets more money good luck to him , young family and all . Thats life we are the fans of alty not the players , some players become fans etc but we have lost good players before and if the club get a tickle out of it good deal all round .

Rather  lose him than Hulme but its ablow if true .If  he has gone we need this Kosylo asap arguably as good a winger

We currently don't have any wingers good enough to take us the level we need to compete in the playoffs.

I wonder what the fee was....

I don't believe that to be JJ's arm.  More likely to be Joel Taylor who is pictured on Johnno's Twitter wearing a grey top similar to that one.

Remind me not to enter any 'Arm recognition' contests again.

The only thing that is throwing me is the person signing has a grey hoody and JJ in the photo is in a black. Maybe they are signing a couple or maybe it is fake.......
Title: Re: JJ going to Chester

Abraham Lincoln claimed that there were three kinds of untruth - lies, damned lies, and statistics. If he were around now, he would undoubtedly add a fourth - social media. And that's why I practically avoid it.

Disappointed but not surprised. Chesters management duos desire for publicity has always outweighed their ability as managers. You can only assume they’ve also been tapping up Jordan for a while now too.

Guys, just to clarify - the image floating around of John with a Chester shirt was take a couple of months back when he collected it for a fundraiser in memory of his friend who had passed away.

Not saying this to give anyone hope. Just, them’s the facts on that. I’d buckle up for a bumpy day.

JJ has always enjoyed playing for us, why would he suddenly be unhappy. And how can Chester suddenly afford all this money when they are a fans owned club. Same goes with Jordan too. Alty fans have a special bond with their players which is a two-way thing. JJ would be wrong to walk away from that.

Although I know where you are coming from I'm not sure that all clubs might say they have a special bond.  End of the day both players have played for the manager before and its clear they admire them both.  Lets just wait and see.

The powers that be had no choice, there was a clause in JJ’s contract so it says. Craig Mahon takes a better corner than JJ so every cloud and all that.

Use the money to get a disgruntled player from Macc or Ceesay on a more permanent deal.

Good luck to JJ, has been very good for us at this level.
Can't really stand in his way if he wants more money (that is providing they pay wages OK, don't go bust and have their results expunged).


If Craig Mahon is fit and ready to go (which PP says he is) then this could be a good deal all round (providing we've got the "substantial fee" for JJ paid up OK and can get some quality in).
