Re:
The Oxford Mail article says that Foster has signed his contract. Don't know if that's them jumping the gun or not, but as far as I know there's been no official confirmation of it (and I won't believe it until there is, even if he turns out for us next season)."Jimski" wrote:Oxford Mail reports we may be close to signing both Corcoran and Coombes from Cardiff. Coombes would be odd - I quite liked what I saw of him, even if brief, but didn't seem like Jim rated him, as he hardly played him.
Still no news on Foster, it seems. Can someone please fix his car?

I would have thought that if the Mail new about FosL, the official site would have reported it first if it was true.
Good news if we sign Corcoran.
Not so keen on what little we saw of Coombes.

I saw Coombs in the Rushden TV game and a couple of reserve games & at no time did he look any better than those around him.
If we've got the money to take him, then I'd have thought it better spent on keeping one (or two) of our own kids who a) were no worse and b) would probably be on a lower wage...

There is always a debate about who is good, who isn't, who should be signed etc. However, judgement can't really be made without considering the other key factor, which is of course cost. Is a player good value for money?
So, whilst not being overly impressed by Coombes, I'd suggested that if he can be signed for a relatively small salary it may well turn out be a very good deal (contribution / cost for us.
Alternatively, we may need to sign him, even if he's shite, in order to encourage his mate, MC, to join and keep him company.

Re:
yeah, I was wondering if perhaps they've got the same agent, who said "if you want Corky, then you've got to take Coombsey too, cos no other bugger will." Or words to that effect."neilw" wrote: Alternatively, we may need to sign him, even if he's shite, in order to encourage his mate, MC, to join and keep him company.
Re:
I fear the MC factor may be involved in this (and if so, I'd just about be OK with it), but it was that very VFM factor that I was thinking of - as anyone coming in will almost certainly get paid more than anyone home grown, so Gunny would have been better VFM than Coombes in my book."neilw" wrote:There is always a debate about who is good, who isn't, who should be signed etc. However, judgement can't really be made without considering the other key factor, which is of course cost.

Then again, we could all also be at the whim of more lazy journalism somewhere between here and south wales which trundles along the lines of: they were there on loan last year, they are now OOC, therefore that club are now going to be interested....
