Looks like McCarthy, Ross and Hawkins won't be with us next season then.

The signatures for next season of these three, along with Sodje, are the main prorities now in my view.

[Slartibartfast]

Keeling and Debolla wouldn't hurt either but I agree about the four you named.

 

 

[John Pearce]

Chukki Eribene too!!

[Bloodnock]

Possibly some of the other players may be on holiday, I would be surprised if LD didn't try to retain Ross ,Debolla,Sodje & Keeling, to name a few, any theories on whether Macarthy is willing or able to do another season ? especially after being voted player of the season.

[KShep]

I expect we are negotiating contracts with them, but the negotiations are just a little more drawn-out?

[BustaGut]

For me it would be great to keep most of this years squad, and build on it for next season, so the team has a base to build on, rather than a massive rebuild like last year.

[kaizen]

Agreed, the nucleus of the side we've had this season has been pretty good; it would be nice to see most of it still here for next season plus a bit of strengthening

[David Holden]

Ebbsfleet United's two most experienced players have signed new contracts with the club for the new season.

 

Skipper Paul McCarthy, overwhelmingly chosen as Player of the Year in three polls, and defender Peter Hawkins have signed on for the Fleet for the 2007/2008 season, much to the delight of manager Liam Daish: "We lacked a little experience in the run in at the end of last season" he said. "To add Paul and Peter to the players who have already committed themselves to the club for next season is great news as they both performed brilliantly for us last term."

 

"Both Paul and Peter showed the value of their experience in a largely young side, and I hope to be able to add more players with their kind of credentials to the squad."

Excellent Fantastic News

[Jeff]

Seconded Ray.

If only we could keep Charlie...

[thatguy]

nice one. Certainly please about Paul staying on.

[Hempstead Gaz]

Out of interest, have Liam Daish & Alan Kimble signed new contracts yet?

Cannot recall seeing anything.

[Riverview Supporter]

Thats good news. Stability is whats needed . Mcarthy was awesome all season , and Peter Hawkins was consistant , relaible and showed an expierianced side to his play.

 

Cant wait for new season

[Richard C]

Excellent news ladies and gents - excellent. Helps to shore us up at the back for another season. Looking forward to it all again now!

[Slartibartfast]

Excellent news, Hawkins ability to play anywhere at the back probably means we can get away with one less defender in the squad and we looked so much more solid with Macca than we did in the matches he missed.

Plus without Macca it would be hard to think of a candidate for captain.

We still need a couple more defenders, I hope one of them is Ross but whoever they are they need to be good enough to be in the starting line up.

[kaizen]

certainly starting to look good for next season, starting to get exited already - just need one or two other names

[bsmith]

Excellent, that's what at least 10 players on contract for next season now?

[ColtheJock]

Good that the two most experienced players have been signed up for another season, any more news would be welcomed. At least we have the core of a squad already in place, and the retention of some of the players mentioned above plus a few new faces should leave the club in a good position for the new season. :-)
