Ex CAFC Director of Performance Services (Will Abbott) is now the Performance Consultant for Estoril. So he’s either advising Holsgrove for or against I guess.

Andy Scott is Head Of Recruitment there too. 

Christ. Abbott and Scott. May as well be asking Hilts and Bartlett what they thought of Stalag Luft (I'm trying to pitch my references more at the average age group on here)

Seriously people… why are we obsessing over holsgrove when Cawley has confirmed multiple times now that there isn’t another CM coming in…

Yup... and I got told countless times I didn’t stand a chance with my now wife... but a little kidnapping here and there worked wonders... and now look at me... Reporting live from inside at His Majesty's pleasure!!

Now you know why I post here so much, got nothing else to do for the next erm... five... te... rest of my life

Exeter City striker Jayden Wareham has been the subject of a bid from Wycombe Wanderers - 

Don’t look like Wycombe will be signing Kanu ??

Was there ever any more light shed on why abbott left ? Seemed quite sudden from what I remember

New contract pending for Ramsay as per Jones quotes on Cawley Substack 

I have heard that Ramsay has signed a new contract already.

I was told Lloydy signed months ago, TC extended before Derby at home even kicked off, and Ramsay has signed a deal already. The person who told me about Ramsay heard it from a very good source. 

None of it has been wrong so far, have 0 reason to doubt the Ramsay rumour.

I feel very confident about Charlton Athletic at the moment, and have well and truly been humbled 😂

JRS signing would make it about an 8/10 window for me. If we signed Holsgrove (seems unlikely) looking at at least a 9. 

Best position we have been in for as long as I can remember.

I don’t understand why we are delaying in announcing contract renewals. What is the point in the club delaying announcements

Because they had two days of fantastic engagement and good news and it gives them time to make good videos

Holsgrove is going to QPR, why are we still banging on about him?

Based on?

Ronnie a few pages back...🙄

Coventry contract runs out end of season, so far it seems the new formation and players suit him and he’s upped his performances, if he continues I’d like him to sign, maybe NJ wants him to prove himself before the contracts offered?

Whole bunch of reasons. They can announce it after a win, get some good engagement and content out of it that’s been thought about properly. No real reason to announce it instantly tbh.

I personally think he has already proved himself many times over the years.

Abbott didn't want to work with Costello.

I’d agree, and if Kayne is getting a contract seems like Coventry should too

I long for a day I don’t read the word “Holsgrove”

You're be reading it for months & years to come.

He's the new Hayden Mullins. 

Or Andy Delort……

When we signed Coventry, we paid a smaller fee but gave a large sell on, so maybe thats pushed his importance down the list. I agree though, he looks good and deserves an extension

He hasn’t proved himself as a mid table championship player, which is the next stage of this teams evolution. Granted he’s had a good start to the season.

Yea good point, although rumours Kayne is getting a contract and he ain’t even fit yet! To be clear I’d be really happy with them both getting extensions tho, think keeping and building this team is part of NJ plans.

I’d give my left bollock to see Docherty score the winner against Spurs in what could be his final start for us. 

I must check the rumours thread to see who he's linked with!

Interesting he only talks until January as well, not all season.

Obviously he can only comment on what he himself can or cannot achieve. Who knows what plans Michael Appleton may have once he comes back?

Ejaculated quickly, I thought it said.

Bleddy 'ell, I must need glasses! 😔 

MrScientist

Im off to a Rak Sak and crack wax if he signs.

Interesting about holsgrove. Would love for us to get him but I think Coventry would then be moved on and he seems to have done okay in a better team. Or mwamba would quickly be shipped out on loan.

Coventry was free but it was a huge sell on apparently they wanted 50% from Wednesday. 

He has had a good start to the season but needs to maintain that level, last season he was part of the worse midfield in the championship last year very much a wait and see with him could lose his spot to Ouma in a few weeks Mwamba progresses and he’s suddenly 4th choice again 

Pavoren007

Seems like jrs is a key target but regardless of what has been shared so far or not, if NJ is a big admirer of Holsgrove and we can ship out 1-2 players more than planned for before the transfer window closes, don’t see why it can’t happen. Doc, Knibbs, Apter perhaps all candidates to move on, Knibbs and Apter moreso on loan.

Sambcafc said:

... we’ve signed Ouma and Chalobah with Cov, Mwamba, JRC, Knibbs and Carey. That’s 7 CMs in various forms with only 3 starting spots. 

Yes, and at least three of those CMs will still be with us when the window closes.
