Players - Rumour has it !

[Cookie]

Charalambous = Trialling with Crawley

Baptiste = Trialling with Crawley

Ross Smith = Trialling with Woking

Oh. Cheers for the heads up there cookie.

 

Had a wander by HDP earlier today, looking good. Ray Baker out watering. Around 7 others doing bits and pieces. Grass looking really nice.

Sorry but thats what I heard & from a good source. It can never be taken as read until its official but as you will know I try to give others the latest whether it be true or false. Dont we all do that? Anyway for my part Rocky wouldnt be too much of a loss just so long as CK brings in a forward that will do the business. I have never been a great fan of Rocky's anyway despite him putting in some credible performances. Charalambous also wont be missed though again someone with the same attitude but with a bit more experience wouldnt go amiss to replace him. And as far as Ross Smith goes,this will be the hardest to bear. Was my number one player last term and he will be sorely missed.

But again,lets understand that whilst there is no smoke & all that this news has NOT been confirmed so lets kep our heads up. Just thought people should know whats going round.

Thanks for info cookie, must agree with you on first two but like you would hate to lose Ross! Lets hope his trials go badly for Woking, although I doubt it! Fingers crossed some more news on decent players for the 'gate soon

[seasidesteve]

unfortunately the only one likely to impress and have any chance of joining them is smith imo the only one we would miss

Alex played for Crawley at Horley last week, along with lots of other trialists. Didn't play v Millwall on Saturday. Rocky not involved in either game.

 

Don't think Woking have played any friendlies yet but they've got a game on Saturday so it'll be interesting to see is Ross is involved. They're looking for a replacement for Jon Boardman and I guess he'd be a likely candidate.

crawley must be desparate for players. Likewise i would like to see Ross stay. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Hempstead Gaz]

They have £2M to spend. Not £2.50. I'm sure they could do just a little better than Charly and Rocky. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[Rob_Butler]

How they get £2,000,000?

[MargateMan]

A local consortium bought the club I heard

[Rob_Butler]

lucky sods

[MargateFan]

I also see that they are going full time.

[zhukov]

If the club are to be successful this next season they will need to keep players of the calibre of Rocky and Ross.

Otherwise the prospects of success are minimal.

I trust you are not referring to Crawley, zhukov. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[zhukov]

I was referring to Margate.

Crawley have a fine stadium and a decent team especially the goalkeeper. I hope they continue to progress.

[Hempstead Gaz]

Well, 3 sides are a decent stadium, the other side comprises 3 steps purporting to be a terrace, behind which is a wall with a fence.

Not really sure what can be done with the last side, as it might prove difficult to build there.

I disagree with you about the decent team. Agreed they are quality, but they are a bit dirty and cynical.

We have already let two very influential players go in Clarke and Stadhart and Ross would certainly be a big loss too. He was my player of the season with many commanding performances. If Annon is staying and is fit then this would soften the blow somewhat. Rocky would be less so imo(I was never his biggest fan!) and his apparent wage demands would make it impossible to keep him anyway. I think he would also see himself as better than Ryman league standards. Alex is a wholehearted player who could do ok in a wide midfield role. Critics of his don't forget he was playing many matches out of position as a wing back. He is definitely better in an attacking role imo.Hopefully there will be a few useful triallists turning out for us at Tonbridge tomorrow (maybe even Leon Braithwaite!) <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[zhukov]

I would like to see Rocky, Ross and Alex tomorrow night and in our squad for the first game.

[Margate Don]

I'm told tonite's team includes Jjunju, Mitten, Barnett, Keister, Hilaire, Edwards, Green, Gradley and many trialists - oh and score is 0-0
