Players Released, Transfers & Loans 2020-2021

Or if he’s still registered and the sticking point is wages would he still fall into the bracket of £1300 existing player under the cap rules ?

I don't know on that. I'd have thought the rules say that you can only have the 1300 a week exemption until the contract expires, but I do not know. I thought he was a free agent.

I wonder if the Stags and Nicky Maynard could use this salary cap exemption

"Deals agreed before the vote are exempt as is any renewal of that deal on the same terms if the player is still under 24 at that point."

Yep but presumably this has to mean actually signed up?

[Tippy Tappy Football]

I would have thought that the player needed to have agreed to the contract before the cut off point.

It's possible but unlikely that the Stags made Nicky Maynard a definite offer of a contract that he can still accept within a specified time period.

[yorkshire stag]

think Maynard is chip shop paper now, time to move on

For me we need 1 more centre mid, we may need another striker depending on how good Reid is. I have to admit I forgot what Cook brings to us, he is Guaranteed double figures a season with a run of games. I still feel like we’re lacking a bit of pace in the team though.

[MTFCMusings]

I would not have minded signing Frank Nouble or Jamille Matt as a target man to replace Andy Cook although I'm happy with Andy Cook if he wants to stay.

Luke Varney is a strange one having been released by Cheltenham but he's clearly been signed as a player coach for Burton. They also signed Chris Beardsley in a similar role a few seasons ago.

When you see the other thread on here questioning whether Danny Rose is good enough for us, and seeing the players mentioned getting moves to L1. The answer is clearly yes. He’s a much better goal rate than Oliver and Nouble. Granted they are used as target men rather than perhaps the main striker, but Rose has not been first choice striker for two years now. It’s even better when you take out the anomaly Flitcroft season.

You can add Alex MacDonald to that list of L2 players moving to L1.

Here's another one Sam. Fraser Horsfall has moved from Macclesfield Town to Northampton Town.

I thought Fraser Horsfall was Macclesfield's best defender when I watched him play in games on iFollow. He played better than Fiacre Kelleher.

Even football clubs have started trolling the fake rumour accounts now

I see our rumoured January transfer window target, Gavin Reilly at Bristol Rovers, has signed for Carlisle United.

The latest on Forest youngster, Jake Taylor.

"Nottingham Forest are taking a look at Jake Taylor during pre-season before deciding whether the 21 year old midfielder can go out on loan. Taylor enjoyed his loan at Vale last season but Forest want the attacking midfielder training with their senior squad for at least the first two weeks of pre-season before making a decision about his future. Taylor shone on loan at Vale Park, scoring seven goals in 25 appearances before his season was cut short by injury in January. But, although Vale would love to have kept him, they expect interest from League One clubs if Forest do decide to allow him out on loan.

Taylor’s agent Phil Sproson reports there has already been interest from another League Two club and a tentative inquiry from League One after the youngster impressed in a behind closed doors game last week."

Didn't think he was a bad keeper at Lincoln, we had some good battles against him

Bolton have released left back Joe Bunney. He played just twice for Wanderers in League One last season after being involved in a serious road traffic collision just days after signing for the club which left him with a broken collarbone and ribs. They are now rumoured to be looking at Graham Carey and Callum McFadzean who is looking to move back up North.

Ian Evatt has hit back at suggestion that Wanderers have over-spent on new recruits this summer. Last week saw nine new additions to the squad – and the head coach says he is looking to add up to three more new faces before the start of the season. But every deal will be squarely within the rules voted in by EFL clubs last Friday, which limit League Two clubs to a salary cap of £1.5million, excluding promotion and cup bonuses. To balance out the numbers, Evatt is looking to send some of his younger players out on work experience loans, which would enable them to train with the squad during the week and then play non-league football at the weekend.

Wanderers’ early business to bring in the likes of Eoin Doyle, Antoni Sarcevic and Nathan Delfouneso has attracted some envious glances from rival clubs but Evatt is adamant that every bit of business done this summer has been above board. “Me and Tobias (Phoenix) laugh about this on a daily basis,” he told The Bolton News. “We are not a cash cow – and just because we’re signing players we’re spending millions of pounds but we’re really not. We are living within our means, within the budget, within the salary cap. Just because we recruit well – in our opinion – and have spent time researching our options, looking at everything out there, does not mean we are over-spending.”

Nice to see Evatt rattled already.

Everything that Evatt says there GC could say the same to those who keep calling us moneybags Mansfield.

Can’t say I’m in agreement with Coughlan who would seemingly be happy with just one more signing.

In my opinion we need a CB without a shadow of doubt to provide cover, and also another option who can play left wing/wing back. If we wanted to switch formation and play with wingers then our options are quite limited. Some raw pace out wide wouldn’t go amiss either.

I could also make a case that we need one more CM too for added depth, but to be fair Sinclair is looking good and will get some minutes so perhaps not as pressing now - I’d like to see some more of him in the upcoming friendlies. I’d have him above Smith in the pecking order in midfield without a doubt.

Agreed we will need Sinclair, thing is he has always played on the left or CAM, 2 friendlies he has been put in cm, looked good but I’d like to see him further forward
