Almost pre-season

[Matt (GNFC)]

Arent we a bit short on players at the moment? I know we usually have a lot of trialists etc etc but arent we leaving things a little late? Also do we have a quota on how many full time players will we have. I would've have thought a squad of 50% pro/50% semi pro would have been a good balance but do we have anymore than 2 full timers signed up? Not much point in going full time if we only have 4 full time players kicking the ball to one another at training.

A lot of full-time contracts expire at the end of this month, so we will have more to choose from at the beginning of this month.

 

Three players have currently signed full-time contracts, and talks are progressing with Jay and Andy. No doubt the majority of the remaining close-season signings will be full-time which should bring us to close to 50/50

goalkeeper and couple of forwards all full time. the squad done as easy as that <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

On the back of the Messenger today a few names were mentioned of players we've been tracking or have lost out on. Can't be bothered to go get it but I know Bobby Bowry was one.

It also says about us switchin our target from Smith to Beckwith. But apparently Hereford are after Beckwith too. Depends if he wants to stay local or go to a better club I suppose lol.

[Richard C]

yeah so i suppose he'd be better off here in both cases then!!??

Which was he? Someone we've tracked or someone we've lost out on?
Either way I'm not too excited... 30 something isn't he? Hardly set the world alight at Palace nor Millwall. Where's he been hiding then?

I don't think we can complain too much about being linked with someone who has the experience and CV he has:

Can't argue with his experience but I fear he will be just another 34 year old wanting one more deal before retiring. I might be wrong but we've all seen them before.
