ex Gate REMY joins Swans(Staines)

[Cookie]

As promised in the local press this week, Steve Cordery has added a new striker to the squad and we're delighted to welcome Ellis Remy from Bromley. Adding much-needed height and presence, Remy is a proven goalscorer (as 'Swans' fans witnessed all too well with his winner for the Kent side in the last game at Wheatsheaf Lane.) Prior to this season, he was top scorer at Margate last year and has also served Braintree Town and Grays Athletic most notably, who paid a substantial fee to Lincoln City for his services previously.

To make way (on the financial side,) Garry Sippetts has been released having contracted splinters from his regular spells on the bench in recent weeks (!) and Andre DeLisser has been short-term 'loaned' to Boreham Wood to get some games in following his recent injuries.

"Come on you Swans

he does get around dont he seems to start well then do nothing

[Gate Watcher]

Seems very similar to Akpo and look what happened there. He's going to be very successfull somewere soon but noone knows when. Staines have a good setup though with good wingers to supply him so it's a great chance.

I agree with GW.

 

He had a habit of scoring goals and that is quite a useful asset for a striker.

 

I was disappointed he left/was released

I would rather have hockton than Remy, I like remy as a player but I believe in CK

[Gate Watcher]

I'm not disappointed he was released. He didn't show enough work rate to fit into our system. The formation we play requires the target man to do a lot of running. In a flat 442 the target man can have the ball put on his head from the wingers and that is probably how Staines will use him. Could work really well.

Phil-sort of agree but we only really have Hockton as a striker, plus Bertie who many of u think is better a bit deeper, and Laurence who i a bit young and not strong enough as a target man,despite having a good right hook on him

[philDMinime]

MM don't you think that Yiga will improve though?, I think Bertie should be an attacking midfielder. but I agree another striker would be good, this will come once the midfield is sorted

[Boney Crisp]

As i have said before i think that Bertie will do well playing the supporting striker role in a 4-4-2 formation with Hockton being the lone striker. I feel that we can play the 4-3-3 with again Bertie being the supporting striker and Yiga and Hockton being up front.
