Re: Josh Gillies

One thing that is quite ironic is that Shields have signed 4 players to improve them but they have signed them from a team which they obliterated last season.

Though to be fair Hunter and Brown didn't play due to injury.

Both Gillies and Turnbull were both useless that day though.

Re: Tommy wants 3 new players

Is Elliott a holding midfielder?

Why is everyone going on about replacing Turnbull with a holding midfielder? Can we not just play 2 "midfielders".

One of your guesses is definitely joining Darlo.

Re: Josh Gillies

Genuine question - where does this "he lacked heart" and "he was pea-hearted" stuff come from? Yes he didn't charge around the pitch like a nutcase. And yes he didn't go barrelling into challenges. But that wasn't and will never be his game. I personally think he did show plenty of "heart" but beca...

Re: Josh Gillies

Pleased about this. Whilst Gillies had undoubted talent, and on his day was a worldbeater - he only ever seemed to have one day in every 10. More often that not he was a pea hearted, disinterested passenger and to be honest I was slightly surprised that we offered him a new contract and didn't just ...

I might be wrong but didn't the proposed Upshall development even get near the stage where NIMBYs would be out in force protesting against it?

Seemed like it never got past even the first hurdle.

If it's half it's likely to be 300k which is still more than ours - so I still don't see how you can afford it on crowds less than ours. 300K for part time players is pretty decent though - there are still several part time clubs at your level so relegation is not a certainty. If Darlo got promoted ...

Re: Kieran Galbraith

Don't forget that the Northern League is easily on a par with our league because one off cup shocks prove it.

Many players at Northern League level are world class in fact. Just they prefer to play there than in Europe so they can be home in time for tea and the wages are also better.

Re: Tommy wants 3 new players

Looking at his wiki page, this George Green seems to have a really good pedigree.

He was also born in Dewsbury in Yorkshire so if he still lives around there, he's not a million miles away in travelling terms.

If he is more of a wide attacking midfielder - ie a winger, then he would be competition for Gillies and Thompson.

I think it's telling that we're looking at two potential keepers on loan rather than trying to sign Russell - I believe he will have been snapped up by Spendy where he bezzie Chandler is.

Re: Tommy wants 3 new players

Nuneaton are well in the s***, and they terminated Tom Elliot's contract yesterday. I can see most of their players being released whether in contract or not, because they aren't getting paid properly. This means someone is likely to also pick up Ashley Chambers. Could he be considered more of a win...

I'd say the sell on is as important if not more important, than the actual fee. What if the buying club sells him for £5 million down the line? I'd be asking for 25%.

To me, the considerable barriers to future expansion are the existing stands as much as anything else. The tin shed should’ve been built with more rows as it had in its prior state, and the seated stand should’ve been deeper. It was all rushed. Indeed. The tinshed should have been 12 rows (giving a...

The good thing about Ainge of course is that if we're running a smaller squad he could be used at the back if we have an injury crisis. Styche could play on his own again with Syers/Hughes in the hole.
