Watched him a couple of times at Barnet and he played as a centre half and he was very impressive, seems like he has moved into midfield and can also play right back. Good quality utility player, would have been an ideal replacement for Woodards but FGR are paying big bucks and he may never have been on DC radar.

If we want to sign the whole Salisbury squad then yes it is. |

If we want to sign the whole Salisbury squad then yes it is. He didn't play under DC, but Salisbury have at least 4 or 5 players in there squad that i would be happy to see sign for us. The first priority should be a formal approach for Mikey Harris. |

It's now the end of the week, didn't DC say he was hoping to have a second signing by today? Seems to be leaving things a bit late if the squad is supposed to be ready for the pre-season games etc. Not sure if it's a big worry yet, what do people think?

Have we even got enough players to put a team out yet? What with all the players we let go and assuming JJ and possibly a couple more players will be gone before the start of the season, I think it's leaving things pretty late, would be good to have all our signings soon so they can actually practice together and have some kind of strategy. I reckon we are gonna end up totally f***ed!

yeah that sounds pretty much like what we're gonna end up with a bunch ex salisbury players and the few of our own we have left, where did they finish last season? not exactly pushing for promotion to the football league were they? I think we'll end up stuck in the conference wilderness for years.

... a whole new squad and playing system bedded in witin 2 months - we're f***ed! I'm tempted to say, once again, really. We really can't seem to get to grips with this transfer system business, can we? It seems that the Chairman and the manager of the day (whether it be MM, JW and possibly even DC now) make positive and upbeat comments on the transfer front, but these promises aren't carried through. As kippogas has posted above . . . ''a whole new squad and playing system bedded in within 2 months,'' but where is the sense of urgency? But then again, I have always been a little impatient.  |

Ditto, but dread the thought of 11 players introducing themselves on the first game of season. You never know though might work out a treat. Fluke it

If Smithy, Brown, Parkes, Santos & Mildenhall all leave, are we left with about 8 players. Perhaps we are going to start with the 16 years olds that we advertise are on the books.

Surely as long as they're signed by the start of pre-season training then it doesn't make much difference whether they sign today or a few weeks from now?

DC did say that nearly all of his transfer business will be done during the last 2 weeks of June, we are not at that stage and i'm not too disappointed that the one signing that he 'HOPED' (BRFC Famous word) would sign this week hasn't. I will be worried if this time next Friday, at least 2 deals have failed to happen. The situation at Salisbury means we can try and bring in some of there better players like Frear, MacDonald, Lewis & Puddy.

If there's not a couple on board by then perhaps we may have a problem. Although I wouldn't mind betting a lot of work has already been done about signing players. As for the question, was it a missed opportunity? Who knows? Maybe DC knows. |

... a whole new squad and playing system bedded in witin 2 months - we're f***ed! That's the challenge. ...also a lot of the better Conference players planning on moving between Conference clubs or those stepping up into the Conference are likely to have signed "pre-signing" deals that lock them into thier new club prior to the end of last season. These I would imagine come will to light on the 1st of July. You didn't know you were playing in the Conference until the final day of the FL season. Just another challenge I'm afraid. Marty... |
