Re:
Loan, but ooc at Fax this summer, so partly with a view to a signing. My understanding is that both Fozzies have been offered contracts, as has Corcor, while talks are ongoing with Rose and Zebra (no chance with either, imho)."GodalmingYellow" wrote:Was Martin Foster a loan from Halifax or a permanent until end of season signing?

Re:
By my reckoning that means Santos is the only player we don't have information on, and I can't see the club wanting to keep him."boris" wrote:Loan, but ooc at Fax this summer, so partly with a view to a signing.

Isn't Zebra contracted to Millwall for another year?"boris" wrote:talks are ongoing with Rose and Zebra (no chance with either, imho).
Can't see us getting either of these tbh. We'd be better focussed attempting to pinch players from other Bluetinpotpremier clubs.
D'you remember the good old days when being a supporter meant turning up regularly to a home game, with scarf and club colours?
These days we are expected to know, and want to know, the size of the squad, the salary bill and the length of all individual contracts. Not only that, we want it all real time.
I want to be the on the spot reporter, outside the door, when they come out .. "What d'you get? .... How much a week? ....... Oh well, never mind"

Re:
Yeah, but Jim is still in charge. Do you think he knows left from right or can communicate our needs to his drinking buddy scouts?"dr ceri" wrote:What's with all this 'leaving us a bit short on keepers' or 'no left sided players' stuff?
It's not the squad for next year, it's the carcass of what's left after contract D-day! I think we can assume a bit of activity to fill the gaps (hopefully with younger, fitter, cheaper models...
No real argument about those senior players released. Bit surprised we are trying to get Quinn, Willmott AND Corcoran, as well as Gilly, Day & FosL but they are all good players so, no real complaint.
Bit disappointed that Burgess has been put on the List, hope it was handled well! I can understand the two keepers being listed, as having two is a luxury we cannot afford, but unsettling Burgess may have been a mistake.
I’ve said before I’d liked to have seen a few more kept on in the background, but even acknowledging the extent of the cutbacks required, I'd still have been inclined to have kept Tucker for an initial 3 months (with the understanding he could go if he gets another offer) in case one of the keepers does go. I’d also have given Mulvany a shot in midfield for a year as backup too as he finished the season strongly on trial in the reserves. Gunn did nothing wrong, but I do accept he may up about 7th choice if everyone signs.
Depends who we get in of course, but I'm a little worried in terms of overall numbers as we often had the likes of Gunn or Kennett on the bench last season and we won’t have that this time, with the possible exception of youth team keeper Sam Worrell, so we could be going into games with no cover in some areas.
Finally, worth noting we could set an all time record low of the number of home grown players making first team appearances, with Anaclet the only confirmed name for next year (unless one of the injured trio get lucky).
