Be interesting to see if Goodwin can be lured back to Chester by his former Youth team manager

I see he started in Stoke U23's playoff semi-final game yesterday, in which they defeated Nottingham Forest 2-0 (and must be why we released him to them slightly earlier).

Note that one of Stoke's scorers was Will Goodwin, a teenage striker signed from Chester who - similarly to Eddy himself - had a slightly unsuccessful loan spell with Hartlepool this last season. I wonder whether he could be an option for us...

That's a name that has been on my radar this season, he's quite Hulmesque in his play too, I believe.

Sorry yes, I'm probably not making myself very clear but basically I'm just second guessing what our options are.

I don't think having him contracted for another year would necessarily be the challenge we think it might be - he could go out on another loan of course, or we could announce him as available and see if we get any approaches, given he can clearly do a very capable job at Step Two. The management might even want to keep him for pre-season, although I'm not hopeful things would improve for him. Who knows!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we place him on the transfer list it's essentially an invitation that anyone can take him for nothing? That's how other retained lists seem to work...

Transfer lists are circulated out to our clubs saying we'd be interested in an approach for that player.

Said it for years but an evening with Rob and Phil discussing BTS of footballing world would be a great event (providing its common knowledge in industry).

Sorry I should rephrase, the announcements seem to be split into 'on contract for next year already' / 'signed new deals' / 'offered fresh terms' / 'placed on transfer list' / 'released'.

Ultimately Marcus has had what looks to be a successful loan spell, so I'm sure a NLS club might approach us for him. Seems a good lad so I wish him the best.

What announcements? Have I missed something?

I think he means 'in general' and, with reference to us, he could be referring to the article on the JL website a few days ago.
(sorry for being a bit presumptuous, Marple!) 😉

I agree. Wish him all the best wherever he ends up. Just convinced he isn't what we need.
Most would agree with that.

Also, didn't he come from Stevenage? So he probably has links down there.

Destined for bigger, I think.

All of Mossley's success was inspired by their fitness fanatic manager , the late Bob Murphy who i got to know quite well . He gave them the confidence and belief that they could beat anybody and most opponents could'nt cope with their energetic attacking play , he was pretty much the Brian Clough of non league !    I faced Eamonn O'Keefe in a schools cup tie , we turned up with 8 players and as captain i was told to man mark their star player  , we lost 8-1 but Eamonn did'nt score .  He deservedly went on to play for Everton and Ireland and i Sunday league stuff . Such is life .😒
