Aside from transfers I wonder when we will end up hearing any contract news.
Edwards is obviously our big name that is out of contract and sure to have some interest, although IMO it wouldn't be a monumental loss given that Terry Taylor has really come through strong in the games he's played and might end up an important player next season. Bostwick is in negotiations too, although given his fitness issues that one can go either way for me. Rowe is a 50/50 one given we've brought in Omari Patrick and are well stocked in wide positions, and I'm guessing Wallace is a more 'help him get fit' situation rather than offering him a new contract.
I'd like to see us open contract talks with Joe Powell as he's only got 1 year left on his deal, unless we have a 1 year extension clause.

The Scottish press (Daily Record Sport) are now saying we are signing Louis Moult despite Motherwell’s efforts to get him back there. Looks like Flying Tipple’s horse whisperer was spot on! I would expect an announcement tonight 👀 Still waiting Stan!

Apparently Ryan Bowman will be leaving Exeter and joining a League One club this summer. I remember we were very close to signing him on deadline day in January. There seemed to be a rush of information that we were getting Louis Moult last week and now it feels like the trail has gone a bit cold so I wonder if we’re getting Bowman instead.

Maybe, but I also recall that our bid got derailed on deadline day by Cheltenham coming in at the last minute before he decided to stay put and of course they are now in L1 so he could be going there.

Cheltenham journalist Jon Palmer has confirmed that it is NOT Cheltenham that he is signing for. I think the deadline day deal, if true, was scuppered because Exeter would only let him go if they could sign a replacement in time which didnt materialise. Interestingly both Bowman and Moult have played for the new Morecambe boss Steven Robinson at Motherwell before so my suspicion is that they could be the League One club referred to regarding Bowman seeing as newspaper sources suggested that Moult to Burton was all but done (even though nothing confirmed by Albion yet). Would imagine that Bowman would be more of a fit for Morecambe's wage structure.

It’s definitely not them according to one of their local journos on Twitter but obviously journos have been known to get it wrong one or twice (or hundreds of times) so we’ll see.

Bryn Morris has signed, midfielder. We've had him before on loan.
Not sure what to make of this one to be honest.

Just seen Wigan are favourites to sign both Tom Naylor and Scott Fraser this summer. Naylor obviously on a free and Fraser for 500k from MK Dons. Interesting that Fraser could be on the move one year into a three year contract. Did notice that he was relegated to the subs bench briefly towards the end of the season and most of his goals were penalties(twice against us) so maybe he hasn't been as influential as he/we thought he might be. Still a decent fee if £500k is to be believed and shows that whatever happened in January 2020 when we thought he would leave in that window ultimately Nigel didn't manage that one with the best interests of the club especially as he hardly played him after that albeit in a curtailed season. Maybe doing NC a disservice as don't know the full background but we could have done with a bit of cash like that. Fraser refused to sign a contract under ANY circumstances, even if we were promoted. I thought he was a brilliant player but I'd have put him in the reserves as well for that.

I've been going through the Mansfield Town forum ,and they seem to think along with getting Brayf and Lucas , they seem to think they are in with a good chance of getting Kane and Ryan Edwards . I'm on that forum every day and I've not seen anyone suggest either Edwards or Hemmings are realistic options. There has been a debate as to whether Hemmings is good enough and would they welcome him back. It seems to have gone cold with Lucas and Bray. But I know as well as anyone else that just because it's quiet doesn't mean NC has given up. Seems he's in the market for a younger defender and one more striker. Is that Lucas? Selfishly I hope so but it would take something special for him to leave the club he loves.

I thought he was a brilliant player but I'd have put him in the reserves as well for that. One of the skills required by the modern day football manager is to be able to move players on at the right time and maximising their value for the club. For whatever reason this didn't happen with Fraser and with his replacement already in the building during January 2020 I would have expected us to have done everything in our power to move him on. Not sure how much genuine interest there was in him but my gut feel is that he was not as sought after as he and his agent thought he was, ultimately only making a sideways move to MK Dons, so possibly nobody was prepared to pay any sort of fee for him. I accept that if the player and his agent just want to sit tight and leave on a free then there's nothing anybody can do and I think we'll see over the next few years a player who just jumps ship at every available opportunity just for an extra few quid. League One is his level, no doubt, and I don't believe he is fit enough, quick enough or good enough for the intensity of Championship football and is unlikely to get any better than he is now. Was made to look better than he was by Mr Quinn who of course is now a Stag and good luck to him!

I'm sure they are not realistic options , as Ryan wants to look at trying something higher .But I just like to see what other people are banding about during this quiet period .And we all seem to think (certainly smaller clubs) are going to get players which we havn't a cat in hells chance of getting .But all supporters can dream . As for Lucas and Johnny B I still think they could end up at Mansfield although it could take up to transfer deadline to happen assuming a deal is agreed between all parties .

So Far Only Oshilaga Signing excites me so far, borthwick Jackson comes from Oldham who had the worst defensive record in league 2 and there fans said he was poor. Patrick seems to be mixed views from Carlisle and Morris seems to be disliked by many Pompey fans……

Swindon weren’t enamoured by Jonny Smith and Ryan Edwards was positively slagged off by his own manager when he signed. That is football I guess - have faith in JFH and Dino, they have made very few mistakes so far.

Surprise, surprise, fans of a player's former club raving about how rubbish their ex-player is when they are released. Happens all the time.
Some Oldham fans didnt rate Hamer, Oxford fans slated Clare, the list is endless. Some Charlton fans have said it is a good thing that Oshilaja has gone. It's all opinions, often from supporters who wouldnt know a decent player if they came up and slapped them in the face.
CBJ clearly has some talent having featured at Man Utd at a young age. Dino knows him and obviously feels they can work on/with him to get him producing the level of performance he is clearly capable of. Morris has not pulled up any trees at his last few clubs but Jimmy knows him and thinks he can work with him.
The art of good management/coaching is being able to improve the players at your disposal. We are not in a position to sign the finished article all the time so although some of these may not be 'wow' signings we have to trust that Jimmy and Dino can get them organised into a way that helps us win matches.

Supposedly got another left back coming in. Frazer Blake-Tracey. Released by Peterborough. 25 years old.
For what it’s worth Oxford fans slated Clare but Karl Robinson only ever played him at right back so I doubt they’d have seen the player as we did.

For me improving players through coaching is Jimmy/Dino’s strength. Probably the best we have ever had in terms of the ability to do that. Nigel/Simon could spot a player of potential. Gary Rowett was strong tactically and in terms of organisation.

Gary Rowett was strong tactically and in terms of organisation. I think what we have seen so far from Jimmy and Dino is how they get a side organised. There is a difference between improving players technically and tactically. We had a group of players in January who were already technically good players, Bostwick being an example, but Jimmy and Dino drilled into the players a disciplined organisation that worked and we saw the sort of player that we knew Bozzy could be when we signed him. There were others as well who just needed that discipline in their game and when we saw them all doing it together we became a much harder side to beat. Some of the players who have arrived this summer may have something to prove in some people's eyes. What we know is that Patrick, CBJ and Morris are all at an age, 24 or 25, where they are still developing and learning and I hope/trust that Jimmy and Dino will instill that discipline and consistency in their performances to improve them.
