Ryan Oliva

[ronin]

Another good signing for the club Going to be a lot of competition for the captains armband this season especially if we can sign Moore as well.

[The Great Eckscape]

Deleted Jay's thread to avoid two seperate threads about the same subject.

[YELLOW]

Another quality signing. Played well against us for both Arlesey and Waltham Forest last season and looked impressive against Braintree.

 

Gives us another defensive option.

[Matt H]

Fantastic signing.

 

If we sign Moore, we've got a rock solid defence in the form of Moore, Oliva, Patten and Westy.

 

Midfield is looking multi-talented with, Fanibuyan, Halle, Mustafa and David Lee.

 

And our strike-force is looking potent between Lucky and the Leons.

 

Plus and probably best of all is that we've still got a lot of talent left in reserve too.

Dobbo and Leon must start?

[ShedBoy]

Now the squad is taking shape i can see us playing a 4 - 5 - 1 formation next year

 

My Team would be:

 

Mel

 

West Patten Moore Oliva

 

Dobbo

 

Gordon Lee Mustafa Fanibuyan

 

Antoine

 

Subs:

 

Wiseman

Halle

Lucky

Crow

J Curran

 

My selection depends on us signing Chris Moore..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[The Great Eckscape]

From what I've seen so far and from last season, I'd go (again, if we sign Chris Moore):

 

Wiseman

 

West Patten Moore Mustafa

 

Halle

 

Gordon Lee Dobinson Fanibuyan

 

Antoine

 

Subs:

 

Capleton

Oliva

Edwards

Corbell

Luck

 

However, there are many questions that my brain can't answer! What happens when Danny Curran is fully fit as he should be by the start of the season? How can I have left out the likes of Jay Curran, George Blewer, Crow etc...?

 

Whatever happens, I do believe that we have a lot of strength in depth this season, and if a player is out of form or is injured, there will be 2 or 3 fighting to get and keep their place.

 

Glad I'm not a manager!!

And these are exactly the problems the manager would rather have, unlike last season and all the injuries! This squad is very exciting and gives us other options if needed

[ronin]

I won`t attempt to pick a starting X1 from the players we have but i think it`s safe to say our new signings havn`t been brought to the club to sit on the bench.

 

There`s going to be some tough choices to be made and those players not released will have to decide if they want to stay and fight for a place or look for other clubs.

 

[Beachboys]

Has wall gone then ?

[ronin]

The club has not officially announced that any player has left as of yet.

[The Great Eckscape]

The official 2008/09 squad will be announced during the next couple of days, though that may be added to before the season starts.

Not that I am aware of, although he wont be available for the 1st couple of league games as he has a ban for the sending of against Redbridge.

[Greg_Dyke]

Canvey could run out to "Oliva's Army"

[Diddy's Big Bro]

No we shouldn't as Elvis Costello said

"Oliva's Army" is here to stay!!!lol

[The Great Eckscape]

I hope he is here to stay though!

[Golden Boots]

IMO:

 

Wiseman

 

Mustafa - Patten - Moore (if signed) - Oliva

 

Gordon - Lee - Dobinson - Fanibuyan

 

Antoine - Luck

 

Subs:

 

Capleton

Blewer

Davidson

Corbell

Nougher (if signed)

 

 

[canveyspur]

First time GB has made any sense, thats exactly the team i was going to go with, maybe with Mel instead of Ricky.

[Ribbit]

I certainly want Lucky to start. I think he could quite easily be our top goalscorer if he can stay fit.

[yellow angel]

Definitely need Lucky to start, i would agree with the lineup of GB, think Luck and Antoine will work well together.
