Knows Phil, great pedigree to get in county championship side, sign for fleetwood and then sign for the league again.

Hulme listed on stockport forum as tomorrows signing. will judge that in 4 weeks after hes scored 3.

Welcome to the club. Elliot Osborne does look like a really decent signing.

I am finding it difficult to keep track of all the signings and really have no idea of how the new and existing signings will fit together! I assume a striker will be coming tomorrow.

Going to tell B.4D too or have you got double standards as well? There's been loads of OT on here for years, lad. It's not likely to change until people start taking the other forums seriously like Chester "City" fans do. Anyway, by rights, most of my OT posts should probably be on here, that business probably has quite a lot to do with Altrincham F.C. first team at the moment. Yes, and we used to have a fair bit of OT talk on the supporters' coach too. They were fairly lax about it. (We used to have booze on it too believe it or not - those were the days!).

P.S. Graham Heathcote also liked his cricket, and was well known with Urmston. Probably one of the best ball players we ever had. Certainly he could cross it as well as anyone else in training before his knee went. I suppose it's similar skills for a good cross as you need in cricket. Boxers often seem to make good players too, I think Joe Palladino was a boxer.

Just had a look in the OT. Crikey. I think I'll stay in here thanks but will say a couple of things.

Firstly Hugh, you understand it's a RESPIRATORY VIRUS... right? Can you understand that much? The tennis lad was more likely to be suffering longer term effects of COVID than adverse effects to the vaccine. If he got Omicron in early December then I'm sure he'll be suffering to exercise like I am - this stuff is serious.

So the vaccines don't work, right?

Let's break the scientific reports into footballing analogy (fair play to Amsterdam Alty for trying).

Being vaccinated is like United having De Gea in goal against City, rather than the youth goalie. You might still lose, but it will be 2-0 instead of 5-0. Hey, if you're lucky you might keep a clean sheet. But it's better than sticking in a youth goalie and hoping for the best.

Secondly, quoting Joey Barton as a voice of reason isn't quite the 'gotcha' you think it is  ;D

Didn't know there was an Other topics section here. Nore will I ever visit that again after the nonsense I have just read.


Hoping for a Striker to be announced tonight. I assume it is Hulme which is a good option that should stop the rot. On a downer though I would have liked us to go for someone younger and new. Carver or Charman would have been good shouts, although I suspect Charman would be out of our reach with some of the attention he has been getting.
Title: Re: News..
Post by: andrewflynn on January 07, 2022, 08:43:12 AM
Hulme returning would work for me if it was a loan until the end of the season on favourable terms for us. A permanent return would be a big step backwards, but I do think he would see us through until the summer.

Best striker we've had at Alty since Colin Little, bringing him back is an absolute no-brainer for me. He left to take up an excellent deal and who can blame him. The fact that weve spent 18 months trying to find a replacement and not even come close says how good he was for us. A forward line of Colclough, Mooney, Hancock, Kosylo and Hulme will be a great watch.

Not wishing to wee on anyone's bonfire but he has not played at this level.
My concern (one of them anyway) is that we would expect more than he is able to deliver despite his outstanding desire and work ethic.
Players who come in as heroes or saviours are amongst the first to come under increased scrutiny and subsequent criticism

In my opinion we can remove the off topic section... no one wants to come on here and talk anything but Alty. Social media has evolved to a point where we can all continue with our lives and Hugh can spiral in to the world of pseudo science and mis-information without polluting this sacred space with his nonsense. I've heard you can use Telegram to talk about this sort of thing... or gab.com I believe that's where the crazies like to live these days.

Back on topic, If it is Hulme we announce today that's fine until the end of the season, but I'm expecting we make a marquee signing in the summer that has all of Jordans traits but in the body of a mid 20's lad rather than mid 30's.

This sums up where I am with it (Hulme, not the other nonsense) - particularly if it gets Josh Hancock's mojo back.

The other lad from Nantwich that's been mentioned has already reached 15 for the season, maybe one to monitor (as I'm sure we're doing already).

Title: Re: News..
Post by: JTH on January 07, 2022, 11:34:01 AM
I don't really understand the 'unproven at this level' or 'looking back' points tbh. He was 100% guaranteed to start last season and I can't remember anyone  saying he needed to be offloaded. I'm not in a position to say whether he's a worse player now after 18 months as a full time professional and I would suggest no-one on here is either. You could've equally argued at the time if you really wanted to, "Matt Kosylo is a step back for us - went pro at Fylde, now wants to go semi-pro at a level where he got relegated". JH is a target man, a goalscorer and he knows the way we play, it's fairly logical to give him a go if available surely?
Title: Re: News..
Post by: Steve from Sale on January 07, 2022, 11:53:30 AM
It's not just his goal scoring, he was a regular late teen scorer while with us. It was also his hold up play, plus the way other players such as Josh Hancock benefitted also. Josh was a late teen to 20 goal scorer, when Jordan was here. Still remember the neat flick in the 18 yard box for Shaun Densmore's goal, can't remember who against. Jordan will adapt to this league, he did have spells when he went a few games without scoring, but always got back on track. I don't think Fylde was the right fit for him, but with our players surrounding him such as Colclough and Kosylo. I think we are a good fit. Just give him a chance (if indeed it is him that's joining).

Plus, we can resurrect his song!

I am pretty sure your Carver's and  Charman's are out of our current reach.

I don't think Hulme would have been in PP and Neil's top 5 targets but we need to be realistic here. We can't afford or even maybe attract the top strikers.

We desperately need that number 9. Yes Hulme is older but we know what we would be getting. He would need to get up to speed like all the new players but he would be a huge improvement on what we currently have.

Signing or loaning Hulme short term / potentially another season would be a good move and give us some time to find our future no.9 and not panic into signing another poor forward.

Until recently I'd have been very hesitant about welcoming back Hulme, however, having tried (and failed) to find a replacement, I think we are right to re-sign him.  Let'd hope that this IS the answer to our lack of goals.  Welcome Jordan.  #coyr
Title: Re: News..
Post by: Saughall Robin on January 07, 2022, 03:15:49 PM
I'm a bit dubious but if he's the answer then fantastic.
Let's be honest, nobody else has done it for us up front this season.
Wise move to make it a season long loan. Gives him a carrot for when we go hybrid /full time next year.

The only real problem as I see it here, and that’s if it’s true what I’ve been told, is that we’ve had to pay 100% of his Fylde wage, which apparently is in the region of £700/£800 per week. Now I know we’re desperate for a striker, and I mean absolutely desperate and I know that PP has got the likes of Fitzpatrick, Peersy and Dinanga off the books, but with EO and JH coming in on the money they are, the Jordan one is a HUGE risk on that kind of money.

Anyway, I’m pretty happy with these two, I think they’ll provide us with the ammunition we’ve been craving. Good luck boys

As someone mentioned earlier in the thread, he is completely unproven at this level, so I'm not expecting miracles, but it will be interesting to see how he does for the remaining part of the season, and then maybe go for someone more experienced at this level, if required and if finances allow.

God knows if Jordan's return will work out or not, but for some reason I feel a bit more optimistic now than I was this morning.

We've had so many duds at 9, what the hell have we got to lose? It's only until the end of the season anyway.

I'm a bit philosophical about the whole thing really. Sure, we could have gambled on a Cockerline or paid a king's ransom for a Carver. Might have worked, might not have worked, same as Jordan.

For what it's worth, I saw Jordan play for Ashton at Bamber earlier in the season...and he ain't changed one bit. Still sharp, still hungry, still making defenders work hard...

Good post.

We at least know that he will give CB's a game, he won't be as prolific but we may see other's higher up the pitch as he can keep hold of it.

Opportunity Knocks for Alty!  (Older fans will see what I did there). This recording was released in 1973 and season 74/75 saw us begin what is regarded to be the most successful 10 years in the club's history.

I am chuffed to bits that Jordan is back and I know that he will deliver.  I will never forget how he bossed Portsmouth and how close we came to getting a result there. Osbourne looks like he could be special and I'm really looking forwards to seeing Hulme, Colclough and Hancock on the same team.  Morgan still needs to win me over.  We have made some bad defensive signings this season and I hope that this is not just another one.

If you think about it, we are getting similar crowds now to what Stevenage Borough were getting before they got into the league. Ihey were paying more than that for their top player plus benefits. I still think it's a no brainer to bring Hulme back, the only risk is if he gets injured.

You really are obsessed aren't you? I see you have double standards too. Naturally. As you very well know, other people mention this besides me. Other opinions are valid besides yours and your favoured sources of information. Just because you disagreed with something on the ot forum doesn't mean it should be shut down. Get a grip. (In case you hadn't noticed, this stuff has quite a lot to do with football at the moment anyway, just look at Chester "City".)

Back to the football, when we signed Osbourne, I was going to say, yet another midfielder. But with Hulme coming in, and Mooney and White back, all of a sudden I feel much happier about things. I don't see how we can go down now.

Being vaccinated is like United having De Gea in goal against City, rather than the youth goalie. You might still lose, but it will be 2-0 instead of 5-0. Hey, if you're lucky you might keep a clean sheet. But it's better than sticking in a youth goalie and hoping for the best.

Secondly, quoting Joey Barton as a voice of reason isn't quite the 'gotcha' you think it is  ;D

Didn't know there was an Other topics section here. Nore will I ever visit that again after the nonsense I have just read.



You click on the link at the bottom of the screen, it'll take you to any of the other forums!

There used to be all sorts on here that was better suited to the other forums, probably not so much these days.

Just had a look in the OT. Crikey. I think I'll stay in here thanks but will say a couple of things.

Firstly Hugh, you understand it's a RESPIRATORY VIRUS... right? Can you understand that much? The tennis lad was more likely to be suffering longer term effects of COVID than adverse effects to the vaccine. If he got Omicron in early December then I'm sure he'll be suffering to exercise like I am - this stuff is serious.

I'm not getting into all that on here. Suffice to say, much of this stuff is disputed, and I would want to see the evidence. That's the sort of thing the ot section is for though.

In my opinion we can remove the off topic section... no one wants to come on here and talk anything but Alty. Social media has evolved to a point where we can all continue with our lives and Hugh can spiral in to the world of pseudo science and mis-information without polluting this sacred space with his nonsense. I've heard you can use Telegram to talk about this sort of thing... or gab.com I believe that's where the crazies like to live these days.

Back on topic, If it is Hulme we announce today that's fine until the end of the season, but I'm expecting we make a marquee signing in the summer that has all of Jordans traits but in the body of a mid 20's lad rather than mid 30's.

You really are obsessed aren't you? I see you have double standards too. Naturally. As you very well know, other people mention this besides me. Other opinions are valid besides yours and your favoured sources of information. Just because you disagreed with something on the ot forum doesn't mean it should be shut down. Get a grip. (In case you hadn't noticed, this stuff has quite a lot to do with football at the moment anyway, just look at Chester "City".)

Back to the football, when we signed Osbourne, I was going to say, yet another midfielder. But with Hulme coming in, and Mooney and White back, all of a sudden I feel much happier about things. I don't see how we can go down now.
Could you do some more posts in the same thread please? You've show yourself to be so level headed recently I value your opinion above all others at this point.

Individual government policy is not equal to vaccine conspiracy misinformation... Stop being a total nut.

The only real problem as I see it here, and that’s if it’s true what I’ve been told, is that we’ve had to pay 100% of his Fylde wage, which apparently is in the region of £700/£800 per week. Now I know we’re desperate for a striker, and I mean absolutely desperate and I know that PP has got the likes of Fitzpatrick, Peersy and Dinanga off the books, but with EO and JH coming in on the money they are, the Jordan one is a HUGE risk on that kind of money.

Anyway, I’m pretty happy with these two, I think they’ll provide us with the ammunition we’ve been craving. Good luck boys

I'm always completely at a loss where people find these figures that are quoted for player wages.  I admit I'm not privy to the finer details of contact negotiation, but can anyone tell me how they can state figures with such certainty?

Not really the place for this but you seem to count almost anything as conspiracy misinformation. I understand this has been a distressing time but do try and be a bit rational. And understand that people taking a different view from yours doesn't mean they're a nut ir killing people or shouldn't be watching Alty. I might disagree with people sometimes but I would never suggest they shouldn't come to matches, and I really do worry about you sometimes.

Incidentally,  some "not actual evidence" seered on my mind after Tuesday night, as I had long feared. I hope this sort of thing won't be a regular occurrence at our matches, and I still think you need to consider your apparent (and possibly dangerous) zero risk fantasy. Risks and benefits like anything else, which may be good for some, less so for others - is that so hard to understand?

I can't even remember the last time we had a transfer fee disclosed, so I would be a bit surprised if we were told players' wages.

Wind it in Hugh, and stop putting words in my mouth. You have no idea what my overall views are and have mistaken me calling you out for your inane and misguided posts as a personal attack. I couldn't give a toss about you as a person.

Grow up a little and stop lurking in the more neurotic parts of the internet. It will do you some good.

Well AJ Leitch-Smith is on £500 per week and hardly plays.

Just been reading back on some threads and came across this. Where did this figure come from?
