Dave Nugent

I have some mates who follow the Cobblers home and away. They told me last year that this lad called Dave Nugent at Bury was a decent player. One of them backed him at 80's to be top scorer in the div this year.
I went to Cobblers v Bury Saturday and in the tavern before was reminded that DN was player to watch. Quite simply they lost 1-0 and Bury missed chances, had a blatant pen turned down and had a dubious goal chalked off for offside. DN was class, he held the ball up superbly, went round people for fun and set others up who are simply not in his class. I saw his 2 goals last night at home to Wycombe on Sky and they were two brilliant strikes.
Anyway we have no dosh, Bury have no dosh, transfer fees are a thing of the past and there is a goalscorer/get others involved centre forward playing for Div 2 side who are/were going bust. :idea: :confused:
I don't think it's hard to see a "player" when we are hardened lower league fans if you know what I mean!

northampton bee, dave nugent sounds impressive
you should e-mail martin allen about him
if you haven't already

he sounds just what we're looking for
 

Dave Nugent

Even write a letter to the ground. I've been told he reads, and generally responds to, each one personally.

Watch his goals on FL Review on Sky 7.00pm tonight and then write your letter. :wave:
 

Dave Nugent

Sounds like someone worthy of running the rule over
 

Dave Nugent

We could never sign him, he would want to go to a bigger club. As he's just signed a new contract at Bury with guarenteed first team football he wont leave for a while until he's ready for that step up to the championship with someone like Sheffield United.

Probably true, just wanted to say that I saw a decent player with maybe the smallest team in the Football League.
 

Dave Nugent

I watched Football League Review last night, didnt quite catch his first goal.The second was from really s hite defending, I think the last man may of slipped.Wasnt that impressed

The one were the defender tried pulling him back and he fought him off and scored. He also went round a few Swansea lads a few week back and scored the same sort of goal. Plus he has 14 or so goals this year in a nothing team. Trust me he can play.
 

Dave Nugent

Just read on teletext that Bury are offering him a new deal in an attempt to keep him at the club. Sounds like he may be on the way.
Incidently Spicer cost Bournemouth 10k, good deal in my book, so we must have matched that. How about a 10k offer to Bury for promotion. A goalscorer with 11 LEAGUE goals in a mid table side? :sorted:
 

Dave Nugent

Maybe for next season. I think we are strikered out at the moment !!
 

Dave Nugent

still worth paying 10 grand for surely?
 

Dave Nugent

Sorry to blow cold air on this one, but Chester have supposedly bid £50,000 today
(Sky Sports News). Ian Rush must be quite keen to splash that kind of money around in the bottom division, & there's no chance of us getting involved in an auction....
 

Dave Nugent

Well you never know,why would the said person go from Bury to chester [same leagues] if somebody from a league above shows interest in him.You can understand if the clubs agree the fee but if we can afford to pay claridges wages then why not this guys.
 

Dave Nugent

He's too good for that Division and Mr. Rush might be able to spot a forward.
Doesn't sound too good for Kevin Rapley. :sad:
 

Dave Nugent

I heard that Doncaster have a bit of money to spend and are going to buy a striker with it. Nugents name has been rumoured but I think Chris Greenarce there first target.
 

Dave Nugent

I have seen this guy play once, I was told he could play and to be fair it went in one ear and straight out of the other.
In that one game he bossed it dropping back from his centre forward position and driving his team on with pace, strenght and guile. He would be a perfect foil for Deon as he has all Deon's attributes plus an eye for goal, put better players around him and he could be the biz. It seems to have created some interest on here from people having not seen the guy in action and now he is being linked here, there and everywhere. We probably have no chance or have anyone remotely interested in buying him, but I saw what I think is the missing link for our current side.
 

Dave Nugent

Announced yesterday that Bury are in dire financial trouble again, as if they were ever out of it. Noticed they got 1800 for a league game recently, anyway Mr. Nugent will be off soon and we have no goalscorer????
 

Dave Nugent

LET IT GO!

sorry, i just really needed to get that off my chest ;)

i read about him yesterday, funnily enough. think it was on the fanzine bit on teletext, bury fans saying how many points they get between now and may will be directly affected by when Nugent is sold. He's only a teenager :eek:
 

Dave Nugent

We could use the Cullip money. ;) Also we still have no commercial manager at BFC, so we have stupuidly saved a few grand there and the players fund.

However we have to many players to get rid off first: Rankin, Myers, Salako, Claridge, Lawrence, May, Fitz and Hutchinson. Even if it means just saving on the NI, some of them should be off the books ASAP.

PS: How about a silly £50k bid for Greg Halford?

So I read, was always a pipe dream but he could play and you heard it here first.
Wished I'd seen him last year at 18, Wally could have ruined him. ;)

No and sorry to not answering your PM, a fellow GPGer did on my behalf on the day I started this. :wave:

My friend at my work is the father of Northampton's Chris Willmott, and word is that obviously many many teams are very much after Dave Nugent. Apparently, the current "inside" opinion is that Wigan could take him pretty soon.

Don't know if that is reliable, but even so.. it seems unlikely Nugent would look at the Bees with so much Championsip interest.
 

Dave Nugent

Yet another goal today, which makes it 8 in 12 games since moving to Preston. If only we had money.
 

Dave Nugent

Next stop the Premiership, I think. Probably not with Preston though.
 

Dave Nugent

I saw this bloke ONCE and saw a player at 19 years of age. How come nobody from the club saw Bury's leading goalscorer this or last season? :confused: Last season I would guess he could have been picked up for very little.
No club marketing or scouting anymore? :nono:

The problem is getting people down from the north. You tend to find that lowere league movements are within 50 mile radius. Talbot is an exception to this rule, possibly because he had a large cash payment from personal injury courts to aid a move south. It is the likes of Tranmere, Blackpool & Sheff Wed etc that are more likely to have missed out on Nugent than us. :sorted:

Agree to a point, but there's nothing to say that all of the best strikers in the country must be in the Premiership.

yeah, did you see his FA cup goal (at Palace i think) this season?

Northampton Bee, have to say, great spot. I would like you to replace John Griffin as chief scout.

However, you will now need to look out for sh*t players to sign, that can integrate seamlessly into our side. Old players on big wages, very slow, bad attitudes, cant pass a ball 5 yards, are the sort we are looking for. Any history of fighting fans is also a plus. Give them 3 and a bit years contract now, and then we can offer them more money when their contract runs out - with the parahute payments from being relegated from Conference South.

So Preston picked up Nugent for 100k plus add ons who will soon play for England and we paid 50k plus add ons for Willock who will soon play for Grays or someone.:sad:

cos you never wrote that letter to the club !
That would have triggered the purchase of Nugent (obviously)

-Anymore NB scouted players out there, that we should be on the look out for ?

-Can we find an NB XI that would be fit to grace League 2 next season ?

-Can we set up an NB Fighting Chance Scouting Fund ?

-Can we set up an NB Fighting Chance Betting Fund ?

I for one would be more than happy to contribute to a fund for NB to visit grounds around the country on a Saturday, rather than see his mug at Bees games :sorted:
