ONE FOR THE FUTURE?

Fri Dec 09, 2011 10:43 pm

Michael Jacobs of Northampton

Northampton Town awarded youth team midfielder Michael Jacobs a squad number after an impressive pre-season campaign ahead of the 2009/10 season. Went in to Cobblers history when he scored in front of The Kop to put Northampton Town 2-1 up at Anfield in the Carling Cup win over Liverpool in September 2010. Later that same evening he also scored one of the penalties in the Cobblers shoot out success. Despite only being a first year professional, he has already attracted the interest of the England under 21 scouts. Signed a new contract in January 2011 and won the Player of the Year award in his first full season.

Could be a player worth going after.

Seems there's some go in this, was mentioned on CCMB this morning by a regular poster who knows someone at Northampton. Suggestions that the player wanted assurances that he would be in the first team set-up though and not farmed back out on loan.

He'd only have to look as far as the 2 joe's. He'll get a fair crack of the whip

Be suprised if we sign him this transfer window, he is no better than we already got and Mackay said he would only sign players who would go straight in the team and be better than we got so for that reason i doubt we will see him now.

i think the best player we have at the club at youth level has to be curtis watkins
