Fraser Hornby signs for us

[Dozbik]

An initial £65,500 rising up to £1.3m if he turns out boss.

The Cobblers will receive an initial £65,500 and could earn up to a maximum of £1.3m in the future, depending on how many first-team games he plays.

That's one hell of an expensive season ticket for such an unproven railway.

Glad he choo'choo' train

And that he choo'choo'se us.

Welcome Fraser

Get ready to be written off after 2 or 3 senior games, even if you play alright in them

LOL. Somebody isn't quite ready to love again are they?

That seems pretty harsh! Lower league teams can't produce a great crop of young players and get promoted because they can all be poached by prem teams for buttons, but a lower league club like QPR can spunk huge money on players and just buy promotion.

If he's boss, they're getting £1.3m.

That's bloody loads for them. That money could get them a team worthy of promotion. It could stop them going into administration. It could be a stadium upgrade.

That's a lot of Colemans...

Youth midfielders could be just the ticket.
So long as he doesn't turn out to be something of a sleeper.
He'll have to learn the role, get accustomed to his station so to speak.
Who was that youth prospect we signed from somewhere like Oldham, must be 5 or more years ago - hopefully Hornby isn't similar and wont go off the rails.
Could he go on to be the conductor of the midfield?
Still, this shows the intent of the club and is a signal of going places.

Femi Orenuga I think. He hasn't had a club since 2013

Choo choo!

Hopefully later in his career when his fitness has dropped and he's perhaps let himself go a little, he'll move back into a deep-lying playmaker role, setting the tempo of the game from in front of the defence.

A fat controller, if you will.

 

[gazefc]

Hopefully his career stays on track, and can challenge for a first team place in a few years

Good to see @MoutsGoat getting railroaded in this thread. The mods got to keep a level crossing of all sorts of views.

A Joe Royle find in his new role maybe?

Pipe down Bizo and go and check Arsenals net spend.

 

[Billy Dean]

If he gives off the right signals in training, I'm confident he will be a 1st class signing.
