I’ve just seen Ronaldo and Messi walking round Tesco, I will tell them not to bother😉

They were both at the tip at Darley Dale earlier today too!

Why would Sami Morsy, Captain of Ipswich and on the verge of playing in the Premier League, want to come back here next season?

Obviously he wouldn't but the rumour mill keeps churning his name out and ive used ut as an example- and its a push to call it a rumour IMO

If Spireites’ advice to Cook is to sign a load of 30 years old plus players heading towards a final pay day, we will finish up with the oldest squad in the Football League. That will be a disaster.

I agree.
Was using the names as an example of the rumour mill
Let me clear this up - we should not be signing a bunch of older players. I coukd deal with one older player coming in to add some experience, but to sign 3 or 4 would be madness
Unfortunately, the written word can't really express vocal tone.
My tone would have had a hint of sarcasm if I had spoken instead of written

I'd be very surprised if one or two players didn't go for a fee, and it may not be who we think either. We have some decent National League ready players who will attract interest from those who are destined for another year in the cesspit. Obviously we may use one of our contracted players as a sweetener on an incoming player. Happy times to be a Spireite.

Oldham ?

Morsy will captain Ipswich whether they go up or not next season. Cooper would be a real worry because of injuries. Which leaves Clucas, who I wouldn't mind seeing back for a season plus option for another.
We have to get some young blood in with potential and that's why I keep mentioning Freckleton. We're hardly going to make money out of 30+ year old players, and for us to have that experience in the team we need younger players to bring on. A sustainable climb up the divisions will do for me, oh gawd I'm sounding like the chancellor 😆😆😆.

Cooper might interest Evatt .

Oldham ?

I wouldn't be surprised if any of our unwanted current squad end up there
