Hemel latic Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 1 hour ago, adamoafc said: If it is him surely a short term solution and makes Fondop redundant as I’m sure despite Garner being 5”11 was a target man and won loads in the air in years gone by but that may have changed. If Nuttall is completely persona non grata the we have no big lump cover for Fondop should he get injured. Don't think Garner (or another target man) would necessarily mean the end for GN9.

Norewgian Gunnar Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 If players go on loan and earn less do the club owning the player not make up the balance of contracted salary. If so we would still be saving money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parent club will receive a contribution (full or partial) from the borrowing club. Edited January 31 by Sparkleking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Garner has played a lot more in league 1 this season than I expected him to have. An interesting signing this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I guess Mellon didn't rate the forwards currently on our books due to the fact he signed 2 stikers. Surely Willoughby and Reid will be moving on. Moving Nuttall on might be more tricky one feels. 26 minutes ago, Norewgian Gunnar said: If players go on loan and earn less do the club owning the player not make up the balance of contracted salary. If so we would still be saving money If you have ever played football manager you will know that loaning a player will come with the caveat of paying a certain percentage of the players wages so let's say Willoughby goes to Fylde on loan for the rest of the season they might only be able to pay 20% of his wages and we pay the rest which we might agree too aslong as he doesn't play against us. We make a small saving and make sure he can't do any damage to us either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyyou Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Not a prolific scorer these days but he's always been an aggressive, hard working forward. We have interesting forward options with him, Fondop, Norwood and Dallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Good pedigree and has played at a much higher level. Slightly surprised we have signed another striker though and not sure how you fit Norwood, Dallas, Garner, Fondop in to the side. It’s crazy how football works, before we signed Norwood we were all absolutely buzzing with our strikeforce of Nuttall, Reid, Willoughby and Fondop. We then obviously signed Norwood who of course is an upgrade on those but to then sign Dallas and Garner in the same season shows a couple of things: 1. Our pulling power at this level. 2. How much money we are pissing away on surplus players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Branston Pickle Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Think this'll be a good signing, plenty of experience and aggression which we lack at times. Should hopefully be an improvement on Fondop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 That should signal the end for Reid as well as Willoughby & Nuttall. Even Fondop will be lucky to get a sniff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many reckon Fondop is a useful impact player off the bench so I think he'll still have a part to play this season. In the longer term, Dallas is only on loan so I can't see MM starting next season with only two veterans up front in Norwood and Garner. Expect to see big Mike gone and two younger strikers in.

Crusoe Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I’m probably putting two and two together and making XI but they normally announce signings’ squad numbers in the articles. I assume that means Garner’s number is currently occupied and shortly to be vacated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
