At around 10pm last night, a spike of activity on Twitter seemed to forecast the imminent signing of ex-Brighton and Shrewsbury man Jake Robinson for Northamptonand sure enoughat just after 3pm this afternoon the news of another impre sive coupwas confirmed.Robinson, 24, scored 16 goalsduring the2010/11 campaign, 9 of those camefor parentclub Shrewsburywith the remaindercomingduring a loan spell at Torquay. Indeed, two of those goals for the Shrews came against Northamptonas part of a cla sy display from the front-man in the fixture at Greenhous Meadow in September.He joins former talisman Adebayo Akinfenwa, who ispreparing for Jack Crawford Jersey his second spell at Sixfields, as well as Shaun Harrad, Billy McKay, injury plagued Tadhg Purcell and potentially Michael Uwezu. Indeed, the Cobblers League Two rivals should make no mistake that next year, these players will terrorise their defences.With chairman David Cardoza announcing this week Kyler Murray Jersey that , it seems that despite a lowly 16th place finish in the league last season there may not be as big a blow to making the club an attractive proposition to the bigger names amongst this summers crop of free agents. As weve already seen with the likes of Akinfenwa and now Robinson joining. However, with Gary Johnson told that Ian Sampson had this time last year it is likely that there may not be too many more permanent switches to Sixfields made this summer, especially if rumouredtargetsArron Davies and former loan man Ben Tozer sign on the dotted line.FrailtyIn past seasons, it has been the case that the conclusion of bringing in forwards signals the end of shopping in the summer window, butthe exodus of the squad bought about by the retained list in Maymeans that this pre-season that will be far from the case.The Budda Baker Jersey club have just 3 defenders definitely on the books for next season currently. Those include forward thinking John Johnson, right-winger Seth Nana and the unproven Byron Webster. And evenif the rumoured move for Newcastle player Tozer comes off that stillleaves a very frail looking defence.The situation inmidfield isnt that much better either. WithRyan Gilligan still expected to leave the club over the summer, there are six midfieldersunder contract for next season, but two Malcolm Butler Jersey of those are the untested Greg Kaziboni and Michael Built. Elsewhere is Andy Holt, who certainly has another season in him, but saw his chances limited after the arrival of GJ who offered him a coaching role. That leaves Kevin Thornton, Nathaniel Wedderburn and Michael Jacobs.Unle s the chairman and manager have been telling fibs about the amount of money they are planning to spend this summer, I predict that Robinsonand McKay can be expected todeputise on the wings behind the first choice starting line-up of Akinfenwa and Harrad.If the Cobblers succeed in adding Arron Davies to their ranks the picture may look a lot rosier in midfield butId like to see an Ian Taylor style addition to our midfield ifthe cla s of 2012 David Wells Jersey are one which are to challenge for promotion.In terms of goalkeeping I think we can expect to see Chris Dunn backbetween the sticks next season, but shouldhe go his wages will hopefully pave the way for a move for talentedex-Barnet keeper Jake Cole who is Javon Hagan Jersey still searching for a new club.With that in mind, heres a preview of how the first XI shaping up based on players who are confirmed for the new season.Ive used a 4-3-3 formation based on the squad NTFC currently boast. This will change in accordance with signings such as Tozer and Davies and throughout the summer as Gary Johnsons new look side becomes more apparent.Agree? Disagree?
