Richard Brodie

[hans kraay fan club]

I have NO IDEA whatsoever, whether there is any truth in this, but somebody on the Argus comments reckons we have bid £200k for York City's Richard Brodie.

He scored THIRTY FOUR goals last year, so I doubt he'd be available at that price, in reality. Interestingly, he appears to have a Holroyd-esque tiny HEAD.

Who shall I fixtures ! Random...

This was the 1st thread on the subject... by a minute or so...

I wouldn`t have thought that many strikers in non league go for more than 200k so it seems pretty reasonable to me.

And the rosy cheeks too

I thought Gus said he was after an experienced proven goal scorer not somebody from the Conf with possible potential.

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

It will be a step in the wrong direction in my opinion. The sooner we stop taking punts on non league 'superstars' and sign a striker with a bit of proven credibility (i.e Nicky Forster), the sooner we'll find ourselves climbing out of this league. Don't get me wrong - we have the capabilities of signing decent strikers like Murray and I'm not suggesting all we do is dig from the depths, but it's a habit the club really needs to get out of now we have Falmer approaching. Especially as it appears crucial this year that we go up.

This story says Crawley Town

Quartet of trialists hope to catch eye of York City manager Martin Foyle (From York Press)

Meanwhile, Foyle has also moved to quell further speculation that last season’s 37-goal top scorer Richard Brodie is poised to leave the club after reports of a £125,000 bid from Blue Square Bet Premier rivals Crawley Town.

Where are Crawley getting all this money from?

 

[Twinkle Toes]

He's 6'3", so it's likely his head stopped growing when he was 5'6". Possibly.

I'd be surprised to see him come here tbh, but a step up to L1 would be a sensible step for him imo. Maybe there is something in the rumour though? Stranger things have happened...

Edit: Probably end up going to The Scummers innit.

Maybe he is seen as "one for the future" to join the Development Squad?

If you read the comments on that page they rubbish the Crawley story as they don't think he'd go to another BSP team and say he'd probably cost twice as much. Other commenters reckon there has been a 200k bid from Charlton or Colchester.

 

[Mendoza]

Austin and Morrison made the non league to League One step pretty well, maybe Brodie can follow...

 

[EastbourneGull]

BSP player of the year. Sheff Utd rumoured to be interested in him. The likeness to Holroyd is spooky. Perhaps offer him in part exchange?

 

[The Ringleader Returns!]

Get him and another striker in, tell Holroyd to f*** off. Sorted.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

also a bit of diver by all accounts

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

I remember he was on the BENCH for York when they played Lewes last year (or maybe it was the year before) and he was AWFUL in the half-time warm-up. BALLONING shots everywhere.

For that reason alone I'm OUT.

 

[Gav1901]

Poyet doesn't seem to bothered about strikers at the moment. But we need someone who we know can score goals.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

we need a Tried & tested english forward !!!!

I recall watching Holroyd warming up for the first time at Withdean, he was banging them in from everywhere. For that reason, I'm IN
