News Update MFC OFFICIAL

 

We have just received confirmation that Robin Trott has secured the signatures of both John Akinde and Luke Coleman formerly of Ebbsfleet United.

Both well deserved. Have both given good accounts of themselves in friendlies. Two good & exciting additions to the squad.

[Porka]

Very pleased with these two additions to the squad. And it looks like they are permanent signings. Akinde very much reminds me of Akpo.

[Gate4TehWin]

Cool!!

Taken from the profiles on Official Ebbsfleet web site.

 

John Akinde.

John is a product of the Clubs Conference youth league team and progressed into team contention with a number of decent showings in the Kent senior cup.

An 18 year old striker, he is a promising striker with great potential.

 

Luke Coleman.

A product of the youth league squad 2006/07- is a useful striker and another strong prospect for this season and beyond.

[BlueGate Alan]

Great stuff, well done Robin and club.

[MargateFan]

Deeply happy with these two signings.

 

Now, Trotty, a big, imposing centre half please and then joy unconfined. Jay should be in the mid.

All we need now is for the club to update the squad details on the official site. Or should I say INSERT them. Its less than a week away now before our first game but they should have time to insert those who have officially signed up now before then I would have thought...I think its 17 players in total.Not too sure.

[MargateFan]

Well, we had 16 confirmed during the Gate Chat programme, so perhaps we have a bonus one now and 18?

[Andy .]

Superb work from Trotty in gaining another two players with lots of potentiol. Great stuff .

[MFC Forever]

Again, well done Trotty. I have not seen the pair play myself but they both sound very promising as players.

[Cookie]

Thanks June. Indeed it is 18. I stand corrected.

[michael]

Seems good.

 

Surprised that they appear to be permanent as opposed to 3 month loans.

All good stuff, albeit how many forwards do we need ?

 

I wonder whether Bagley will sign now ?

 

We seem to have alot of forwards but very few defenders and/or midfield cover.

 

I just hope Owen is signed as gives cover in midfield(and think he will secure a permant position, plus possibly emergency defensive cover

Believe he has signed for Tonbridge

[Porka]

According to David Holden, Akinde and Coleman are season-long loans, although after 1 month Ebbsfleet can recall at 24hrs notice.

[michael]

Looks as though unfortunately you are loosely correct Joseba.

 

Think he has gone to maidstone (even though they describe him as Mark Owen-I just cannot 'Take That'.

 

Am just a bit concerned now at the plethora of forwards and the lack of midfield players/defenders.And thats before injuries and suspensions.

 

Akinde and Coleman seem to be good signings though regardless

[Hornet]

Very, very pleased with this news-they have both looked excellent. Now just sign a CENTRAL DEFENDER.
