Free agents this summer

[ryansm05]

Just thought a topic with players who will be free to leave their respected clubs come the summer; who may be potential (realistic) transfer targets for the mighty blues.

I'll start with a proven goalscorer at this level:

Rene Howe - Torquay

Not necessarily a player I would sign, but Craig Fagan is out of contract at Bury and has played under PB before. I'd be surprised if we weren't looking at him.

 

[Smiffy]

Ashley Grimes has been released by Rochdale I think.

Or how about Caleb Folan who is also a free agent and played under Brown at Hull. Although not sure they really saw eye to eye...

He is a good player, obviously not done it at Rochdale but I'd like to see him at Roots Hall

 

[Dan x Sufc]

Ashley Grimes, released by Rochdale yesterday and can score goals at this level

 

[Pubey]

Ashley Grimes would be pretty handy. Never really rated Folan.

 

[KiwiRob]

I agree Ashley Grimes would be a useful signing, but I am not sure how he could fit in with Eastwood and Corr up front.

I agree Ashley Grimes would be a useful signing, but I am not sure how he could fit in with Eastwood and Corr up front.

As I said on another thread because Corr and Eastwood won't be able to play in every game. Corr especially. Grimes could be a good provider/foil for them and other forwards we may have. Although good to debate opinions also have belief in Brown to get ion the players he sees fit. But don't forget the budget won't stretch to far so I'd imagine we shouldn't get our hopes too much up thinking we might make a number of signings who are" proven first choice names" at L2 level.

Heard there is a really good cm available, ex norwich named Spillane?

Didn't we have Yoann Folly on trial last season? According to Wiki he is retired and now works in JD Sports!!

 

[simac21]

Danny Whittaker? Frank Simek?

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

It's a bit early for this thread but Danny Whittaker is a good shout, been impressed with him a couple of times that I've seen him. Pulled the strings for Chesterfield in midfield when we played them away in January, and we're short in central midfield now. 32 years old though.

Also Joe Anyinsah has been released by Bristol Rovers, don't know if he's any good though?

If you're relying on just Eastwood and Corr up front, you can write off next season already.

Based on his goalscoring record, I'd rather not!
