Has anyone got any thoughts on him?
26 years old, 28 goals in 48 apps at Buxton, former Italy under 18/19/20 player.

I’d give him a go for sure.

18 goals in 158 career appearances is hardly earth-shattering is it? And 4 in 61 for Fylde - 1 goal in every 15 games.

Would be a great addition with goals and experience, this is the calibre of player MC should be looking at imo.
Good shout, That’s the (type) we need & if we go for 2 forwards I hope we bring in at least 1 proven :scarf:

National League N player of the month for November. Goalscoring midfielder with numerous assists. Check out his Twitter feed for some 'superb' goals. Big problem would be his contract. He signed a new one until June 2023 earlier this year. Could see Fylde playing hardball after the Evatt circus.

Anyone figure out who the local lad that knows who the club is? Could it be Newby from Rochdale or someone else?

Wasn,t Mark Cooper impressed with a lad that played for Holker Old Boys against Barrow before the beginning of the season in a friendly.I can,t recall his name,but could he be someone the club is looking at?

I’d be surprised if Rochdale let Newby go

If you read the Ipswich Town Forum Norwood like other past footballers has problems off the field .
If as quoted they are true need to keep away.

We need to look at a player who has moved up the leagues below and consistently adjusted to them and has pace.

I think James Norwood has been linked to a move back to Tranmere Rovers now Micky Mellon is back there as manager.

If it's one of the Newby's it'd be more likely to be Elliot (Stockport - but on loan at Halifax) as Alex at Rochdale is playing and scoring for them regularly.
George Thomason at Bolton is another - very promising midfield player - who Bolton might loan out in January if they bring players in like last season.
Lancashire;- born and bred

Hornby didn't say it was a local player, he said it was someone "who is at a club local to us".

That is very vague though and open to interpretation. Could easily be someone at Carlisle, Morecambe, Fylde etc.
