Brett Angell

[David Holden]

Has decided not to join us as he has decided to retire from playing.

 

However, I understand that he has agreed to act as the Club's North of England scout.

He'll probably turn up at Margate all of a sudden as their fourth striker.... <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

[Matt (GNFC)]

he was playing for Walsall last yr...impressive try.

Quick question...these sorts of players i.e Angell must cost us a bomb if we were to sign them. He doesnt even live down south, so he'd have big travel costs plus big pay demands surely given that he was in div.1 last yr. I dont know his transfer value status but surely isnt an Alan Tait a better bet value in terms of wages and sell on value than a 38y old Brett Angell ??

At last we're talking strikers , add him to our Patmore , Scott etc list and hope Fordy finds one by the start of the season .

They are completely different sorts of players Matt what we are looking for is a replacement for Liam, ie a big player who will get amoungst the defenders and unsettle them. Tait is not that sort of player, and as siad before will require a fee which rather negates the lower wages.

BTW Angell is currently 34!

Might as well give Wilko a go up front when he's back from injury. He's about 6ft 5 and 15 stone..should be a handfull.

I say thank God the Angell is not coming. What a waste of money that would have been. We do not want any over paid 'has beens' bleeding us dry.

 

There just has to be a better option than trawling through 20 year old copies of football monthly.

 

Keep the Fleet a donkey free zone !

 

Whats the score on James Bent ?

 

 

[Matt (GNFC)]

And then he retired...

York City Currently use giant Jonny Parkin as either centre forward or central defence and it has woked!! He scares the proverbial out of opponents at either end of the pitch. You may have been joking but stranger things happen.

[Hempstead Gaz]

Now that we appear to have something of a surplus of centre backs, is it really such a stupid idea to try the Duke up front. Big, strong, eye for goal and good in the air. If Wilkins could do both jobs, why not give it a try ? It may save a lot of money!!

Duku. Duku.....

 

.....however I will wait before nominating him in the prediction league!
