Close season transfer targets and possible departures...

Been told Notts want Jesse Debrah but 2 other L2 clubs showing interest. Another name being mentioned is Riley Harbottle from across the river.

Mansfield tried to get Harbottle back but Forest want him in L1 this season. So not sure that rumour has many legs

Depends on whether we play the correct type of football for them. If league 1 clubs interested don't play the same style, might be better to send to Notts

Have you watched Forest play? It’s not a possession based style.
His loan move wouldn’t just be to help his development in possession but playing against teams who are technically better than those in L2.
Time will tell as to where he goes.

Apparently us and Mansfield are both in for Port Vale's Tom Conlon.

Now Notts are back in L2 why would anyone want to sign for Mansfield if they could sign for Notts?

I believe one of his relatives Mark (probably dad or uncle) was in your youth set-up back in the 1980s.

Mansfield aren't a bad club to sign for if you're being objective. They're always among the favourites to go up, have a decent, well-known manager, and can likely afford to offer a decent wage. They'll probably finish above us.

Where we have the edge is the style of football we play - but that style doesn't suit everyone.

I think when players sign and bang on about how big a club we are, they are mostly paying lip service. The same players would likely sign for Harrogate Town if they offered more money.

[laddo]

They certainly aren't a bad (L2) club to sign, and of course money talks but that wasn't the question.

Maybe Mansfailed are paying a lot more in wages than we are for the season ahead, I don't know. If they aren't it's not even a question, objective or not.

The list of reasons is long.
