newby marvel Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 What with the signing of a rhys jordan from guernsey to bristol city was wondering how many other clubs have been approached by league clubs or higher for there star player/s?? surely guernseys le tissier connection gets them more coverage through sky sports an other media angles to highlight there players to league scouts? whilst the combined counties gets little in return from them joining our league!??

HKP Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Every bit of coverage I have seen about the signing mentions the League GFC are in, so the League gets some publicity out of it. Players and officals get at least one free trip to our lovely island out of it. What do you think the League should get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newby marvel Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 im not knocking the free lovely trip ive been twice id just like the league/ clubs to get more of a mention in anything media wise that guernsey do an therefore showcase the other clubs an players in the league!! theres a mile of talent in coco an it shouldnt just be about that island team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I agree, but all the reports I saw mention that GFC play in the CCL... So hopefuly this might lead to a few more scouts heading your way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arp Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I'm not sure that Rhys Jordan was scouted as such - I think various people in Guernsey have been working to get him to a pro club since he returned to the island last year. Guernsey people have always been fairly proactive in getting players away to mainland clubs, mainly because scouts probably never made it over to Guernsey! Surely if a player thinks they are good enough to play higher they should be doing something about it, rather than relying on the off-chance of being scouted? Anyway, I'm pretty sure any scouts that come to watch GFC will also cast their eye over the opposition! Even more incentive to up your game when you face GFC......

Smudge Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Was Rhys Jordan scouted?Think more like Guernsey Resident (ex Gloucester) Mr.Steve Lansdowne,mentioned by Adam as the multi million pound owner of Bristol City had a lot to do with it.Suprised he has not taken a chance on Ross Allen as well,could he do any worse than the current strikers at the Robins.Wish Rhys all the best though,a great opportunity for him.

NCEL fan Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 UK scouts have been to watch Jordan and probably others from the Guernsey side this year in the CCL. I'd be very surprised if scouts didn't watch games Guernsey weren't involved in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
