Tardif has signed
Tardif has signed
for Basingstoke Town. In play-off contention from Conference South.
"Having allowed back-up 'keeper Jonty Venter to leave the club, Vines has moved to sign former Oxford United number one Chris Tardif.
Tardif has been without a club since leaving Oxford in September, and will take over the goalkeeping duties when Nick Hamann returns to Germany in January.
"Chris played professionally for Oxford and is a good signing," Vines said. "Nick will return to Germany because he wants to play full-time, but Chris is more than capable of filling his shoes."

Is Tardif busy or cup-tied for Tuesday night, as Patto sounded worried on RadOx about the keeper position for the replay and didn't confirm that Worrell would start?
God only knows why they should just put me in goal and then we’d be able to concentrate on what is left of this season on the League.
I despair, I really do.

Apparently Basingstoke are in financial meltdown and having failed to get the contracted players to accept a 20% reduction in wages they have now released 3 non-contracted players including Chris Tardif (purely for financial reasons, not because he's conceding about 3 goals a game!).
In the style of TiU ... he could do a job for us (!). Bench warmer on expenses rather than the salary he had before, and reasonably efficient ... and better than any of the goalkeepers we haven't had on the bench lately!
