Boston United boss Dennis Greene is planning to tie up a trio of eye-catching signings this week.

I hope Miller signs, but he has a record for switching clubs. Come on Ricky show some loyalty :D
-
Oh well, Lets get someone else in and let him go.
Scott and hurst had the same thing happen to them from a couple of players that we really needed. They stalled so they withdrew the offer and showed them the door. That season we came up so goodbye and good luck.
And before anyone says i am a fan of miller and i think it be a massive loss but as a team we need to build and know what we need to rebuild the sooner the better. so if any player is stalling at the mo id be showing them the door.
-
lets hope he gets his players this time. re miller--he had a very good year for us last year, much better than I expected. But if he can get more money and go elsewhere, for a better team fair enough, at least one league further up. If he goes to one of the so called money clubs in our league -- then good riddance to him

Everyone hopes Miller signs, but its still 3,4 weeks even before pre-season begins so there is plenty of time yet, and if he does go and its to a higher placed team, and full time we cant compete with that, and surely we would all have to wish him well thank him for what he gave us this year and then move on. Different debate if he took the cash from say a Ferriby now that would be a kick in the wobbly bits, but who could see that happening? If he isn't with us next year it will surely be because a Conf Prem, Div 2 or even a Div 1 club have offered him his opportunity
-
No I think the only way ricky will leave us is for a pro club and if that happens fair play to the lad and good luck. We will just have to wait and see I guess..
-
He'll go where he can get the most money, and that won't be Boston.

Maybe not as quickly as he did last time. The grass isn't always greener, maybe Ricky might have learnt that. Better to be a Newsham and carve out a good career at a big non league club than be a flash in the pan for a season, make a move and disappear back to Sleaford again.
-
He has given a damn lot to Boston this last season. If he goes it will be upwards and good luck if that is the case. I can't see that he would go to a rival just for a higher wage. Different chap to that of previous in my view. Go on Ricky put pen to paper!!
-
I agree with the sentiment that if he can go to a pro team in the Skrill Prem (even Lincoln) then that is a step forward for him and fair enough.
however if he goes chasing a quick buck at NFU or somewhere equivalent then i have little time for him and one stark warning to him of someone else who recently did that from us - Mark Jones. Look where he is now!

For those who don't follow him, he's looking for a pro club - if he doesn't get one, he's signing for BUFC.

I think thats fair enough.

Hope so :D

Can't argue with the boys comments or really question his motives or ambition can we, he understandably wants to be a prof footballer and if by some chance he doesn't get an opportunity to do it before the season starts he'll re-sign, all things considered, don't think we can ask more from the boy

For the good of our club though there must be a deadline, so we can play for life with or without him.
-
Agree, as not so long ago young Vinno was slaughtered in the press as an agent turned his head, whats different in this case. Ricky, and rightly so is having trials and good luck to him but isnt this a case of double standards when he isn't given a deadline.
Anyway good luck to them both, just for the sake of the club treat all players the same else its begins to look like a previous management way of dealing with players.
-
I dont think a deadline is needed, Boston are looking to replace miller if a replacment is not found and miller hasnt got a pro club then he stays.
P.S Theres more to the vinno story that aint in the public domain and it never will be but it is what it is

I agree the lad could not stay.

I thought they were both under contract until the end of the season (just gone)?

Miller is now out of contract , Vinno (under 23) has presumably been offered a new contract .

They are both out of contract, but Vince has been retained due to his age so we receive compensation. This doesn't force him to sign any contract we offer.

Correct , Milleris free do do what he likes . If Vinno whats to move he has to find a club prerared to pay compo .

I stand with his dad at all matches and rang him for an up date, hopefully not speaking out of turn here, but he reiterated that Rik just wants to be a professional footballer that's it,end of, and will do anything and everything he can to achieve it. He's down the gym every day sometimes twice a day and though he will be gutted if a full time team doesn't come in for him pre-season equally if they don't and the club still want him he will have absolutely no problem coming back to Boston. He loves the club, gets on well with DG and the chairman, and loves the supporters but he's 25 and its about what he could achieve, its about dreams, its about providing for his girlfriend and their little boy who between them have completely changed him, and its not a question of stalling at all. Going on holiday this weekend so nothing will happen imminently the only way he could ever see rik playing for another team in this league is if Boston didn't want him. The thought of playing in front of a few hundred supporters after Boston would kill him doesn't matter how much they paid him.

On a different note. No new signings that we were expecting this week.. have they fallen through??
-
Im a self confessed happy clapper but I'm starting to get a little concernd that teams expected to be in the shake up are making several good quality conference/conf prem signings but we arent seeing anything to inspire me. I know theres loads of time before the new season but it looks like we just cant compete financially with several clubs in this league for players. Harrogate, Hednesford look very strong already, please BUFC lets a have a few signings even if its the existing squad that have been offered terms, the 2 signed up players, Pidge and Southwell wont win us many games on their own.
-
I share your concerns hozzer..
-
Not so much concerned as frustrated by the hype, and no resulting signings for the second week running.
Lets keep it in house until they have signed on the dotted line, even Trinity have finished squad building.
-
Trinity have 13 players, so Housham will be using the loan market to get them out of trouble again.
I don't mind us waiting, as long as we get the right players.

Same here P86 .
Is it safe to assume the team that signs a full squad early will win the league ?
Or will the team that has the biggest wage bill win the league ?
Don,t teams loaded with mercenaries tend to fall by the wayside near seasons end ?

13 players already signed (even on the comparative low wages in this division) and space for a couple of pre season triallists to earn a deal. Hopefully a couple of loan players from clubs higher up the pyramid to help.
Housham has done his job.
If Greene gets a good squad together, then it doesn't matter how long it takes- and I'm sure he will use the loan market "to get BUFC out of trouble" again

You won't know if he's done his job until you start playing games.
Were we in trouble at all last season? You lost your first 6 games, and slowly inched yourself away from the relegation zone. I'm not sure we we ever out of the top 8.
-
DG just tweeted - Got to say how refereshing to have players like Scott Garner #manofhisword#trust#topman
some good news on the way ?
-
Happy to wait for new players. not easy to get right player at right price. But would like to see a few anouncments regarding our current players. saying there staying is one thing...........Remember yates
-
I think there's still time for the signings we need, and its well worth waiting for Mr Miller 8)
-
HOW many players at BOSTON at this moment have put pen to paper?
-
2 Pidge and Southwell
-
thanks :o
