Regarding Langstaff, best case scenario would be to sell him for a large fee and get him loaned back for the rest of next season, like Grimsby did with Mcatee last season.

I agree with all that. I think even if we go up Macca will go. I imagine we are paying him around 1500 a week. Let’s face it if a champ club comes in they will quite conceivably give him 10k plus and there’s no way he should turn that down or the club stop him as it would just not end well.Quote:

TBH I’m more concerned about what would happen if we lost the gaffer rather than any single player!
Chicksen would be no big loss he can be easily replaced he’s been off the boil for a long time now.Quote:

The bros explained on one of the podcasts recently that it’s pretty much impossible to sign overseas players at League 1 and League 2 level given the restrictions in place. It’s only really at Championship level that it starts becoming possible.Quote:

Indeed, it's fair to say that many of these players are shining so brightly precisely because of the way we play, and if they're wise, they might calculate that the grass isn't always greener at another club where they probably won't find the same spirit or style.
I agree. Every player at every level has their price. No doubt there would be negotiations to be had so that any deal is the right one for the club and the player. At least a seven figure sum possibly with a sell on clause for Notts and a lifechanging wage rise for Langstaff. He seems like a well grounded, humble person so deserves whatever comes his way from his success at Notts and Gateshead. He's 25 so he's got around another three seasons until he's at his peak. For us we can only hope his goals are the extra that gets us back to the football league either automatic or playoffs.Quote:

What a season it is and we have so much special quality in this team. Let's hope we can find players like Langstaff and RR in the future because they will be greatly missed when the time comes for them to leave Meadow Lane. We've not said that many times this century.
Were you sat behind me in the Pavis last night because all those blokes did was moan about the players ?Quote:
