Doesn't say how long the deal is though, i'm assuming just a 1 year contract

"I think him and Antony Straker are starting to form quite a nice partnership on the left-hand side." I haven't seen any of the preseason games, this can't be true, right?

Not sure this is a good signing. Firstly most will agree Staker is crap, however a club on a shoe string budget that has 1 senior centre midfielder currently on their books and 2 senior strikers should not be bringing in yet another left back, who at 24 has done nothing in his career yet. I'm not knocking the lad down as that would be unfair without seeing him play a few times but we have Barker and Prosser that can play left back if needed as we have plenty of centre half options to cover them and if desperate John White can play left back with Leonard dropping into right back.

Happy with this, I've like what of seen of Ben.

 

[rlb999]

did straker get a 2 year contract then?

 

[tommy tucker]

Good news so how is the second on that might be joining soon And maybe coker has been signed on pre contract until this embargo is cleared .

Regards the 2nd signing:
CP said still in talks but it depends on the other club involved now.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Think we need to ship out Barker and Straker and bring in a younger quicker centre half. Cant see the defence being much better than last seasons at the moment.

 

[tommy tucker]

Had a little look at the Gillingham site .And Charlie Lee hasn't played in any of there pre season games nor has he come on at anytime .Just a thought .:winking:

 

[Ricey]

Welcome to the club Ben. I'm so happy we are bringing players in and PB is very pro active. I'm feeling a lot better now about next season than I was a month ago. A few midfielders and a half decent striker and I will be happy.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

Get 4 more new players in, then I will be happy.

 

[WightShrimper]

Get 4 more new players in, then I will be happy.

Surely that would depend on the four!!

 

[onlyonekingkevin]

Surely that would depend on the four!!

4 more Straker's PLEASE !!! , (8) oh , Antony Straker , oh Antony Straker (8)

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Very odd we haven't stated how long it is. Maybe it's only a month to month deal?

Indeed. Wait until you've seen him play a few times, then you can knock him all you like.

:duh:

very :off topic:, however Ayrshire, every time I see your posts I get so distracted by Barry Corr's goal I forget what discussion I'm in haha, that clip gives me the shivers, as I said completely off topic but just thought you should know haha

 

[Smiffy]

I do hope the FL have allowed us to register these 3 players with them.
