NEW PLAYERS????!!!???

[marksg14]

Can someone please tell me if there are any new signings this season apart from Lloyd Blackman? Lloyd is a great addition but we need to add to the squad.

Yorath and assistant manager Neville Southall will also be running the rule over several local players who they have invited to attend pre-season training including, according to the Gate boss,

Lewis Smith is another new signing. As for this sprinter I know someone turned up towards end of last season to train with team but I dont know if it is same one.

All is speculation until signings are confirmed on the official club website. However, Terry has confirmed that the players back for re-season training have a familiar look to them with one or two exceptions - both in and out.

 

Don't forget, one of the reasons we have pre-season friendlies is to allow the coaching team to run the rule over potential new sigings. So don't expect many confirmed new sigings until we're well into the pre-season campaign.

 

What I would add is that there seem to me to be a number of different types of links between a player and a club. There's "linked with", "spoken to", "discussing terms", "registered with", "agreed terms", and "signed". We'll confirm "sigings" on the official website.

I think the sprinter is Jonathan Silman. He went to my university and told my friend he was going for pre season with Margate. Also said he's an amazing footballer - proper lightning!

 

I think Lewis Smith will be a good addition!

 

 

 

UP THE GATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BlueGate Alan]

As long as he doesn't forget to take the ball with him though Beefcake

[Fanet Blu]

Where is Stubbsy then?!!

[geoff pay]

Proper lightning is great but can he get the ball in the net 15-- 20 times a year. Leon was great but not at scoring. Except at Woking joking!!!!

[P.W.]

That's a bit harsh on Leon, Geoff. In 2 Conference seasons for us he was our top scorer, with 16 League goals and 10 League goals respectively. For a part timer in the top division of non-league football that's a pretty good record.

[Porka]

Jon Silman. He'll be about 21 now. Very quick striker, not the tallest but is strong on the ball. Can see why Terry is having a look.

[geoff pay]

Yes Peter fair point. Just remember his unique pace and not always turning that into goals. However your figures prove your point.

[Wellsie]

And as Leon demonstrated, pace can make up for a lot of other stuff at this level.

[geoff pay]

Paul is this the Jon Silman the Christian lad from Hartsdown School and plays in the Kent Church league????

[Pagey]

well if we can get God on our side that would be fecking brilliant

[StuyRandall]

Is that a spelling mistake, or is that a new Lewis Smith to add to our Louis Smith?

 

Good luck in commentary Wellsie!

[Porka]

Not sure about that, sorry Geoff. Only played briefly in a team with him a few years ago before he went to uni.

[buzzgate]

I see a former player has joined Deal Town - the Cider league is very apt for Mr Eastwood, both level and drinking! Mo Takaloo also gone there.

[blueblood]

bit personal isn't it buzzgate.
