Hemmings off to Dundee

[pravda_plc]

That's the issue, no one buys duds on high wages, they'll buy the good ones you want to keep

Fair point but we still don't really know what Kristian Dennis is like .

He started last season carying an injury and didn't play many games. In addition he's at his best feeding off a big number 9 and no I don't count John Stead ! We didn't have one last season and we don't have one yet this season.

Kristian Dennis is a goal poacher who is at his best playing off a conventional target man.

True, but I wonder whether we'll ever see that Kristian Dennis. He seems to be perennially unfit with a 'niggling' injury. Yet another player who comes in with a fine record and disappears into oblivion with Notts.

Hopefully he can get fit and show us the player who scored 20+ goals at this level.

I'm thinking beyond this weekend's match. It suits Notts not to have people on ridiculous wages who don't have that big an impact on most games. It suits Notts not to be a financial blackhole for the new owners.

I'm thinking it's never too soon to start winning.

It doesn't suit Notts to start a game without a recognised striker and we don't actually know that Hemmings (or anyone) is on "ridiculous wages" do we? Nor can we say Notts are a "financial blackhole". Just because Hardy's vanity made him waste his money on players his manager didn't even want, it doesn't mean we don't now have owners who will think a bit and not buy on impulse. They have facts and figures of players worldwide and hopefully will use these facts and figures and Ardley's experience to find the right man at the right price, not just someone who played for Liverpool reserves.

I say Hemmings stays until we get a proven replacement.

It could just be the Scottish papers putting 2 and 2 together and making 6. It wouldn't surprise me either way if he went or stayed. If he goes and frees up money for 1 or ideally 2 strikers more suited to us then so be it. I personally have never really been a fan. Frustrated never to have seen Dennis given a run in the team, but like everyone else says, we need a target man. Hemmings and Dennis aren't our strike partnership.

I agree that we need to start winning, but it might be that we have to get some players out before we bring new ones in. I don't know the finer points of our players contracts, but we can be fairly sure that Hemmings was on decent money for L2, let alone the NL. Notts don't have to be a financial blackhole, but if we keep our highest earners from last season on the books, it'll be pretty hard to balance the books.

Mardy, disinterested and lazy. Good riddance.

[DelroyFacey22]

Would be stupid to get rid of him without having a replacement imo, he's the only player we have that scored goals on a regular basis last season.

He's not lazy either, he might look mardy but he constantly chases down lost causes and closes players down

[Bernard_Bresslaw]

with no transfer window for us and presumably an incoming fee he can drive there in his bare feet for all I care

Utter garbage.

No fee according to Scoop, just freeing up his wages
