That'll please 3spirit, I think he's tinier than Manny  

 

Scores goals though  

[C'est la vie]

Well rated and scores goals. Is it the type of player we need, let's wait and see.

[Jafooly]

A fantastic signing.

 

Not a big lad but he has bags of ability and can play on boggy pitches.

 

Signed on Sunday so not sure if he is eligible for Tuesday.

Perry scored the opening goal as Farnborough beat Hitchin at Top Field yesterday 1-3

If he signed today then pretty sure he'll be available for Tuesday.

Ha ha ha ! Nice one, RR.

 

Must admit not what I was expecting. Perhaps it's to do with Floody and Ben Harris's injury, and maybe with one eye on next season, that our managers are taking advantage of the Farnborough exodus. Perry Coles has a good goal scoring record and I hope he has a successful stay with us but I must admit I'm in shock that he's our first signing.

 

I myself would have gone for Dan Walker from Farnborough,a couple of weeks ago [not a striker,I know], as I thought he would have been a good fit for our squad.

 

Perhaps Bakes wants the Rebels to have a new nickname that of the 'Lilliput Eleven '.  Ha ha ha !

[bluerebel]

23 goals in 37 games last year and 15 goals in 33 games this, of which 10 in 26 league games as per stats.

 

I agree I would have hoped for a bigger player who can cause problems with high balls and score from corners and free kicks. 

 

On the Farnborough forum they rate him highly and are sorry to see him go.

[GlenSTFC]

I too would have liked Dan Walker but he was on loan at Farnborough from Billericay and has now signed for Dorking anyway.

Ah, so that's the winger you was hoping for 3spirit? He went back to the Billericay all stars and now loaned out to Dorking Wanderers.

 

'The Lilliputions', ha ha ha 

 

Seems Floody is now available for selection.  

[GlenSTFC]

Walker has signed for Dorking not loaned.

OK Glennie, my bad

An excellent signing who scores goals for fun.

 

I'd like to personally welcome Perry to the Rebels.

 

Now do we call you Pezza or Colesy     

Edited February 11, 2018 by Reading Rebel

[GlenSTFC]

Need to ask? It’s Colesy obviously!

[GlenSTFC]

So when all fit we now have 5 strikers. Great for competition and keeping them all on their toes as it’s likely only 2 will start. Plus gives decent options for the vital run in.

First of all, obviously delighted that Perry has signed. He is keen to progress, will bring a real hunger with him and is joining us for all the right reasons.

 

I do want to say a couple of things to those who think we are in a position to sign anyone we want, just because we are Slough Town, as it’s important to manage people’s expectations.

 

1. A good number of the top players at this level or above are on contracts and therefore we can’t go near them. We were lucky with Perry, he had been offered one but hadn’t agreed to sign it when we made our move.

 

2. More importantly our fixture list is turning out to be more of an issue than we ever imagined. The other two players we have approached have both turned us down today, not because they weren’t interested (quite the opposite) but because with at least 7 midweek away games to play, a number of which are a long distance away, it’s impossible for them to commit due to the time they would need to take off work.

 

Not what people want to hear but it’s the way it is.

[GlenSTFC]

No more imminent signings then! Shame the fixture backlog has deterred the other 2, although this is quite a regular occurrence with most teams so it’s nothing new.

[3spirit]

'The Lilliputions', ha ha ha

He was the Farnborough player that impressed me most in the two games against them and ironically, a loan deal for him would have been a good solution, considering the Harrison Gilkes situation.

Anyway,that's not to be, so no point dwelling on it.

 

I wonder if we wiill rush Chris Flood back, as his head cut was a nasty one? 

[GlenSTFC]

Why rush Flood back when we now have 3 other strikers?
