    Makes you wonder doesn't it just how much money there is even now between L1 and L2? Let's say Pointon has a really good spell between now and January and there's rumoured interest, are we looking at 7 figure asking prices? Because he's shown he can do it at this level at 21/22?

    If someone like Costelloe is going for £500k after an average L1 stint? Stoke have publicly slapped a £2.5m tag on Nathan Lowe after half a season in L2.

    Can safely say with absolute confidence under Rupp we will never pay anywhere near that. Infact that confident il do BU donation if we do.

    Summing up nicely that’s why the EFL regime has gone since Wrexham threw dollars at winning.. The standard hasn’t improved correspondingly ?

    Some on here would be happy with £100k for Pointon…

    That’s probably true but pretty much every post of yours has a negative angle. It gets tiring.

    He's backing us this season it's clear for all to see.
    We haven't got a owner willing to splash big bucks like that and I'm fine with that.
    He is doing exactly what he said he'd do abd doing a fine job at the minute

    And yet we blew another league club out of the water with wages over Humphrey’s

    And I can safely say with absolute confidence that if Rupp had just paid that sort of money for Costelloe there'd be plenty on here (you included probably), saying he'd completely lost his mind.

    I think Pointon will be a squad player this season

    I don't disagree with any of that, but from what I can see he is the only naturally left sided CB. Square pegs and all that

    How does this work for loan players? Are we still dependant on under 21s and would signing a loanee over 21 require us to release or not register a senior player

    Im staggered to be honest with some of the money spent in League one, even with the Promoted teams. Today Port Vale have managed to sign a centre back who was offered new terms at Rotherham and who has played for them in the Championship. It’s going to be a very competitive league so I’m glad to see us competing and bringing in proven quality at this level. It’s refreshing to be honest.

    We would be dependent on U21s. Loan or perm, if they were born after Jan 1st 2004 (Jan 1st is the cut off point every season) then they need to be registered to be used.

    I'd guess we just don't bother ever registering Oduor, Wilson & Smith if they are still here come August to give us a little wiggle room, but then if they are still here we still have to pay them. So Sharpe & Co should be doing all they can do find a striker at the minute, but also having conversations with these fringe players about leaving.
