Unfortunately missed the game Saturday, my good lady demanded my attendance and driving skills on bloody shopping trip to Peterborough! >:(
But to cheer myself up, I thought I would risk starting off my first ever new topic ;D
We know who we are keeping, or who many of us may wish to keep but what players would we like to see arrive in the months ahead.
I will kick it off by nominating Peirganinni (or however you spell his name) the centre half from Corby who after twenty minutes of research I found they signed from Stockport, or was it Southport, after he had played a full season there last year in the Conf prem. He looked really solid and impressive when he played against us at Xmas, and the good news is he apparently doesn't live miles away either. He's a Peterborough lad
So who else could we go for...come on names required?
-
Piergiani would be decent signing as would there keeper Paul walker, others players would like to see here are Dom Roma,Luke waterfall,jan budtz,micheal Leary,darryn stamp and Jamie Yates, people can say we don't want players from trinity but the facts are they are lots better than what we currently have, they had 4th best defensive record in the league and that is where we need to strengthen massively!! Also wouldn't be suprised to see dan Jacob,Ryan semple and danny sleath at York street next season.
-
Not Yates, he disappears out of the game too often (same with Semple - I still have this image of him standing on the edge of the box with his hands on his hips looking totally dis-interested) neither do I think he is better than Mills, don't know about Budtz, he didn't look too impressive when he played against us.

Have to agree with yates and semple, Both awsome players when in form and both could rip a team to bits on there own. but both players spent a lot of time dissapearing out of games
-
Not sure who but we need 1 striker, 1 midfielder, 3 defenders and a goalkeeper
The defensive players we get in will determine if we do better next year
-
First priority has to be the keeper and defence and then I would suggest the lack of left sided players is addressed. We need to Have that balance as far to often our attacks break down down the left side. With the right 7 or 8 lads added there should be no reason we can't be play off contenders.
-
Oh please stop talking about Semple and Yates! They both had their chance here and as far as i'm concerned, both failed. Now don't even ask me who i think we should have either, lets just sit back and see who DG brings in, then we can all bloody moan about it!! ;D
check the grassy knoll and the IPA Green King :bunny
-
Where is the fun in sitting back? The whole purpose about pre season is the speculation on who we would all want to see arrive!
If I sit back she steals me for grass cutting duties...sod that!
-
Could there be a possibility of sleath coming back, it doesnt look like he is getting as many games as he wants at nuneaton
-
Yates is a class act at this level and would be great signing. Lets wait and see but there is some good players available this summer.
-
Ah BG, i'm single and I don't have a lawn! ;D If I could have a choice on who to bring back, then it would be Pearson, make him captain too.

Never want to see football reasons back here.Thinking my hard earned cash was going to him would make me wanna stop coming

Grass cutting , taking the wife shopping !!!!! Get yourselve a life BG , buy a set of golf clubs .

Golf! I'd sooner cut the grass! ;D

If North Ferriby don't get promoted would Ryan Kendall, their top scorer, be worth a look?
-
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Danny Andrew signed for you, he's from your neck of the woods and wants either L2 or Conference football, so if he fails to get it will probably go home.
He's been nothing short of brilliant since we signed him at Christmas.
-
Danny Andrew would be decent signing we need a new left back and he would fit the bill but can't see him moving back this way on??
-
To keep expenses down for training and matches I imagine we'll want to fill a car with players from the Sheffield area (to accompany Newsham and Ross), another car from the Nottingham area (to accompany Fairclough, Milnes and Stainsfield) another car from Leicester (to accompany Weir-Daley and Mills).
In terms of the Leicester players, maybe it'd be worth having a look at Ryan Robbins from Coalville. He's slightly tempramental and likely to pick up a few yellow cards for dissent (think combination of Ricky Miller and Kern Miller). But he is an attacking midfielder who has scored 31 goals from 43 appearances this season, and is probably the main reason why Coalville are in the upper reached of the Unibond League South. If he can get the disciplinary side of his game sorted then he'd be worth a look.
-
Who's the Danny Andrew that you're on about?

Too many on here keep looking back, not forwards. I agree with you 100%.
Its why the clubs gone backwards, too many people happy with the mediocrity we've been served up for the last two seasons.
I'd happily take a few of the Grimity boys, not Yeats, but I'd imagine we'll not be in the ball park again when it comes to wages; my guess is we'll be shopping around St Ives and the top end of the Southern League.
I live in hope but when Greene says 7th or 8th is his aim I'm afraid I struggle to get too excited.
-
Danny Andrew is a left sided player who is at Gloucester city formerly of peterborough and Cheltenham. Decent prospect!!! Roma,waterfall,Yates and nelthorpe all for sheffield I believe all be good signing in my opinion!!
-
In any league you need top players to win anything. Although, those players need to work for the team, not just turn up and hold their hands out for the money. You only have to look at one or two in the EPL, QPR for a start! The Mancs have not won 20 times with having poor players, they had the best.
Take Guilsley second again, good side last season good side this season. We finished where we did because that's the level we were at, it's going to take a lot of work and money to get us where we want to be.

I agree with this. My big concern over DG is his contacts - given his location and experience in management (i.e. Histon and St Neots) I believe most of his knowledge will be based towards the southern part of the country as oppose to the north, and feel this could be a bit of a predicament for us this coming season.
-
Yes but look where Mr contacts got us
-
At least DG has given a reasonable assessment. Much better than filling us full of crap like the little feller did. All wise people under assess what they really want so if we do better than that it's a bonus and we will all be happy. Like NFs often said about GD, give the bloke a chance, although it's a good job we didn't because if we had we would have regularly been seeing players from a lower league playing at York Street, except they would have been trying to beat us.
-
Piergiani is a good shout, I also liked Corby's other centre back Malone. They both had really good games in both games over Xmas/NY. The big concern is Corby's defence was worse than ours so we probably only saw the good side? The other player I like the look of from Corby is Moreman, scored a fair few goals in a relegated side.
Really can't see this obsession with Stamp. He's a big carthorse who scored 9 league goals, that's 12 less than Newsh, 5 less than SWD and 1 less than Jones total when he left in December!! Not sure why our support is so obsessed with a target man when a) We are going to be playing passing football and b) All the top sides in this league don't play with a target man.
So of Trinity's players, Budtz, Waterfall, Hone and Hawkridge. Yates was outstanding against us at theirs, but don't think he'd come back given the animosity. Budtz the gk is class, Hawkridge is too good for this level and will only get better (similar to Watmore at Alty) so would be an outstanding signing but can only see him going up. Waterfall and Hone the 2 cb's would be better than anything we've got. The only other standout Trinity player is Jones and he is contracted there for next season.
Jacobs as mentioned I wouldn't be surprised if we went for him again. Apparently we offered a fee for him before he went to Lynn so I think DG is keen to get him here.
Alex Davidson from BPA is another really good player, their number 8 against us at home was also superb - think it was Hotte?
I'm sure theres others if I think hard enough...
-
Not too fussed about the players that come in - just as important is how the manager can get the best out of those we have/get. Take someone like Tom Ward for example - I think he is a young lad with great potential but just needs some coaching. There's others that need confidence. We need the manager to know the players and how to manage them properly.

That's a bit harsh, i'll let you know I do have a set of clubs....why do you think I cut the lawn. Got to have somewhere to play! :D

To keep expenses down for training and matches I imagine we'll want to fill a car with players from the Sheffield area (to accompany Newsham and Ross), another car from the Nottingham area (to accompany Fairclough, Milnes and Stainsfield) another car from Leicester (to accompany Weir-Daley and Mills).
In terms of the Leicester players, maybe it'd be worth having a look at Ryan Robbins from Coalville. He's slightly tempramental and likely to pick up a few yellow cards for dissent (think combination of Ricky Miller and Kern Miller). But he is an attacking midfielder who has scored 31 goals from 43 appearances this season, and is probably the main reason why Coalville are in the upper reached of the Unibond League South. If he can get the disciplinary side of his game sorted then he'd be worth a look.
Logistically, that is a great shout about the travelling. It's not unheard of surely for players to suggest players that live in their area and therein could be the solution to what 'may' be a shortfall in DG's armoury...lack of Northern contacts!
As for Robbins, I was reading the Kings Lynn forum a while back and looked at some of his social media ramblings, he's not all there, and certainly a player of that ilk is not for me, though he is apparently a very good left winger, just the thought of it is scary.
But the old chestnut of Miller is one I personally would really welcome, I really liked him before when he was another who had disciplinary issues and would definitely like to see him back especially as he now appears to have settled down. He was apparently in the evostick team of the year and has averaged a goal a game which is undeniably impressive in any league. Another player from Stamford worth looking at though don't know where he lives is Hall their right winger
Using his Southern league contacts, even though it will be a huge journey, something that may be a problem for many southern league players, DG may be able to tempt Frendo from Hitchin and my word he is another one with a great scoring record this season
See how much fun this is lonegunman...get your guns out of your holster and get into the spirit, who would you like to see? ;D ;)

We need to sign a player or assistant manager from the St Neots area to get Dennis in to work first BG ;).

Have already thought of that...Frendo could come with the gaffer! ;D

Don't you love it when you are first with the news? ;D
From now on, just call me the font of all knowledge. Great signing
Now who else did I say we should sign!

After checking my predictions, and while on a roll, it looks like Miller and Hall will be signing then, especially with his scoring record and after watching them both in the play off games, and Frendo who can now cadge a lift with the gaffer...our attacking options are all sorted then.
Nesham, Frendo and Miller, my word they did score some goals between them? ;D
I await the club announcement then shall I? ;D

Darryn stamp
-
Chester's joint top scorer - Jarman - been released due to travelling difficulties. Scunthorpe based. Could be worth a look.
-
Good call if we could persuade Jarmanto sign up we could have a side to beat the way things are shaping up...

He would be a great signing. I assume he is part time?? and with Trinity out of the running we're the biggest part timers in the region so would stand a chance. Ferriby are spending big though, so expect them to approach him.
-
Jarman will command a transfer fee and can't see him coming to us. Think DG will be concentrating on getting another centre back and new left back in ASAP. Positive signings so far things looking up.

Not saying he would come here, but if he's been released why would there be a fee involved?
-
He has been put on transfer list and will command a fee. He would be excellent signing just can't see us getting him.
-
"And with Jarman struggling to the commute to the club from his Scunthorpe base, a decision was taken to sell him."
You're quite right ShauneyG he is on the transfer list and Chester are hoping to get some dosh for him.
-
For a left back i would get Martin Drury from Bradford Park Avenue! He was quality against us and is experienced! He would be brilliant and then get Darryn Stamp as a target man up front who is also experienced can hold the ball up and also score lots of goals too.

Agreed Drury (if he is the one footed lego head) was quality.

I would love it if you went for Robbins. :dan
-
Got a feeling Martin Drury could be the new left back. Not personally seen him play as missed BPA at home due to work commitments. Would he be a good signing??
-
Well,it looked like Ryan Charles had been close to signing (tweet via Timms) but they couldn't agree terms... Anyone know much about him??Have we missed out on a good or average player??
-
The tweet from Charles sounds as though he has turned down a new deal at his current club if you look at what Hemel Hempstead commented below??? Could be signing for us???
-

Looking at his stats he doesn't seem prolific as a striker but Timms clearly rates him!

Apologies,misread the tweet,I can see now that he was answering someone else....
-
I think he is more of a target man and works hard more to his game than just goals. We need a different type of striker no doubt about that.
-
Dennis tweeted that the left back deal hasn't come off unfortunately
-

Ryan Robbins has left Coalville and signed for ... King's Lynn!
-
I would rather you got him. >:(
-
Any ideas on who the left back was who turned us down?
-
The Stamford website is announcing the signing of Jordan Smith.
No complaints from me, as I didn't think he was good enough anyway. But wasn't it said at some point that we'd invited him back for next pre-season?
-

It was Martin Drury I was speaking to him for most of the week!
[
/quote] SO JON;; so GREENE was not realy interested so left you to talk to him,sounds about right.
-
It was Martin Drury I was speaking to him for most of the week
What was his reasons for not coming then?
-
Dont know what is reason was but looking through twitter a few have pestered him so im guessing it was him.
Best leave the manager to do his job
