What do you think of these players? John Egan Gillingham Danny Shittu free agent Anthony Gerrard free agent Nathan Cameron Bury Jermaine Grandison Shrewsbury Shane Lowry Orient Connor Goldson Shrewsbury Tom Eastman Colchester George Elokobi Oldham Miguel Llera free agent
Goldson and Cameron have both had excellent seasons at their respective clubs by all accounts and both fit the recruitment model we're looking to work from. However, both are under contract and would command fairly respectable fees. Would prefer someone like that than a Shittu or Gerrard.
I'm better than Danny Shittu Reckon you'll be closer to the mark with the lads from lower down the league, bottom end of league one top end of league 2.
How often do you see these players that get brought up on these threads ? Or are we just assuming they are good because the teams they play for get promoted ?
I'm basing my opinions on Goldson and Cameron what I have heard / read from radio interviews by their managers and fans blogs. Paid particular interest into Shrewbury and Bury because of links to our previous managers. I've never seen them play in the flesh so for all I know they could be no better than whats here.
Callum Kennedy, Ryan Haynes or Greg Taylor - left backs. Harry Davis, Tom Eastman - centre halves. Nathan Byrne, Tendayi Darikwa, Lewis Buxton (can also play central) - right backs. Liam Kelly - holding midfield. John O'Sullivan, Mark Marshall, Ryan Williams, Jamie Allen - wingers/attacking midfielders. Izale McLeod, Tom Bradshaw - strikers.
Thats what I thought. Which is why these threads are bloody useless ! It happens every year, loads of names bandied about, then comes the Youtube vids, people go overboard about players they know next to nothing about., Even Odejayi looked decent on Youtube !
Adam Mcgurk - Burton Bobby Reid - Bristol City (on loan at Plymouth) Kyle Dempsey - Carlisle Ryan Donaldson - Cambridge George Francomb - AFC Wimbeldon These players have all assisted ten or more goals in league two. The clubs spoke a lot about a statistical model for recruiting and they fit into the age bracket we are looking at. Chances are we'll sign non of them and they will be just a handful of names we will throw out there during the course of the summer!
Kevin McNaughton on a free transfer and Tom Clarke at PNE if they don't offer him a new contract (more likely if they go up) as it doesn't mention a contract extension here........ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Clarke_(footballer)#Preston_North_End Two good defensive freebies those two would be.
