Breaking News Alan McCormack Signs

Mixed feelings. On the one hand he's 36 and didn't play week in week out 90 minutes a game for Northampton last year. We need people who can play every game, especially as we're already having to manage JD.

However, the guy has tons of experience, has just got promoted out of this league, and has more steel in one foot than most of our current players have.

The centre of our midfield would certainly look like a far more imperious unit with him there.
 
Cynic in me says this just another nostalgia drive to win back some supporters. Can't really see him having the same effect Barrett did when he returned but we could sure do with the experience and leadership, especially in midfield.
 
I get the feeling this won't happen and is something leaked by the club to boost the morale of the fans after today's hearing.

No source, just a feeling.

I’d make him captain! He’s a born leader something that none of the players in the squad have.
 
Well, if he returns he may certainly shake up the dressing room and install some fight in the team.
I would not dismiss this
 
If he can play 90 minutes then fine. We need experience throughout the spine of the team and he certainly brings that.
That's the problem. According to my Cobblers-supporting mates, he can't manage more than 60.
