Eleven players signed up
« on: May 04, 2012, 04:25:32 PM »

Pleased with all the players signed up so far, especially Nicky Clee, James Lawrie and Shaun Densmore. Others under negotiation, hope that includes James Smart who did OK.

Wonder who else they have on the hit list?

Yes very good start.

Particularly pleased that Phelan has re-signed. If we can find a good central midfielder to play alongside him and share the workload I think he could turn out to be an important player next season.

As might McGivern if he can play for us as well as he regularly played against us. Or did our defence make him look better than he is?

Not fussed about Smart. I agree he did OK and given the apparent dearth of left backs he may be the best we can find.

What has happened to Fearon? I liked what I saw of him last year and given the success of Watmore time to give another of the youngsters a go?

Really pleased about those who have signed, a good foundation with a few to bring in hopefully, feeling positive about next season.

Great start to the summer, well dome management & board.
 If we don't keep Smart will Clancy be worth another punt?
Will Fearon still be young enough to play for the youths?

Glad Stuart's staying, top keeper.

Yeah, we need to sign a few though

Really important to sort the defence out

Important to keep Reeves if we can

Also need upgrade in midfield, not convinced by Phelan

See McGiven more as an impact player off the bench

Would hope Richman and Lynch have only been kept as squad players

Lawrie could be a big plus for us, but he must play on the right

Only Coburn, Densmore, Clee and Lawrie should be in the starting XI though.

That said it is at least a base and we've got something to add quality around, more than we had at this stage last season.

And definately better than when Moyo-Modise, Rowland, Adams, Twiss and co rocked up at Woodley.

Replace the released squad players with genuine first team players and we have a chance.

Pleased that its been dealt with so swiftly

I hope we get a decision on Alty Messi soon, then we have more time to find a replacement if he goes...

So not Phelan and McGivern? Given the excitement their signings caused, they have both perhaps disappointed a little but I think they could be key players for us next season.

not convinced by either, would keep Mcgiven as impact sub

Think the excitement might have passed me by

I have to say that I have been quite spectacularly underwhelmed by McGivern

However, I think Scott Phelan has the potential to be a key player for us if we can 'team him up' with the right midfield partner(s)

I fear we may have been a little spoilt with Damians goal haul this season. Leighton McGivern (with every respect to vauxhall) has made the move to a much bigger club in every sense from what he's been used to.Hes scored 4 goals in 7 starts, albeit 3 against Eastwood, and hit 20 goals this season.Theres not a team in the BSN that wouldnt walk over hot coals to secure his signature for next season.This club has been built on hot headed scousers over the years, let's see a few more of them as well.
