Rumours that we have signed Jon Nolan from Grimsby. Free transfer.

24 year old central midfielder.

[AllTownArentWe]

Grimsby fans seem to really like him.

'Class on the ball' apparently - another Jimmy Ryan?

[Siberian Spireite]

Grimsby Supporters' Young Player of the Season, apparently, after having joined in January as a a free agent. He was released by Lincoln and signed only until the end of the season, from what I can glean.

Their fans seem to be reacting in a similar way to how we did with morsy, upset to lose him/saw it coming

From my Grimsby supporting pal:

Yeah just hearing this rumour. Would be gutted! He’s been superb, great work-rate, skill, superb passer, scores great goals, he’s been an absolute revolution since he joined us from Lincoln in January where he couldn’t get a game, probably because he can really play football. We would not have gone up without him, he’s been that important. You’ve got a diamond if he joins you, but hopefully he’ll stick with us as we’ve reignited his career and all footballers are loyal aren’t they?

All is good thanks, well it was until I heard this rumour!

[I remember Tony Moore]

Could be inconsistent?

Lincoln City manager Chris Moyses said he was disappointed Jon Nolan rarely showed his full potential.

Echoes of Clucas?

Was thinking the same...

More pleasingly, this suggests that we might be returning to a sensible transfer policy of chasing up-and-coming players with potential (eg Ryan, Cooper, Morsy and Clucas, and arguably Banks, Raglan and Gardner when they first arrived) instead of has-beens from higher up the leagues (eg SEB, Herd). I know noises have been made by Danny to the effect that this is how he'd do transfer business but it's good to see he's already walking the walk with the signing of Dennis.

That'd be Chris Moyses who couldn't get Lincoln out of the Conference/National League would it? I'll take his advice on players with a whole salt mine thanks!

I'm guessing he means revelation not revolution.

I suppose there is a certain level of satisfaction that we can shaft little tinpot teams like Grimsby the same way teams like Wigan can shaft us.

I prefer to call it 'The Clucas Scenario'.

Attract young talent from smaller and/or lower outfits, allow them to progress both themselves and CFC, then capitalise when the time is right.

Preferably not as part of some bewildering losses inspired fire sale in future, though...
