Rumour of player we are interested in

[cjd]

Will he get the usual GRILLING from the Kuipers in crowd?

to be fair to the people who preferred Kuipers to Henderson, I don,t seem to have heard or seen much dissent towards Flinders. Could it be, that possibly the "Kuipers in crowd" , know a decent keeper (Flinders) when they see one...?

 

[Uncle Buck]

Im all for giving Sully pre season to prove he is good enough.

But then if he is not, it leaves us limited time to get the keeper issue resolved.

 

[Les Biehn]

But the issue with having two 19 year old keepers that are not ready is there are not enough reserve games, so you end up loaning one out to the Conference South and we will still be paying a chunk of that wage.

Martin has been loaned out this season and then injured, but is he worth keeping?

Well thats the question but from what I have seen both young keepers have massive potential and you can't tell me that he's on much. Perhaps the point would be to loan one out to a team higher up the football league.

If we do sign this guy from aldershot then I'm guessing Wilkins doesn't rate one of the two youngsters.

I think there is potential with both of them, but it is whether they are ready?

It was brave taking both of them on in the first place. Martin was already on a professional contract as clubs were looking at him and we would have got more money that way, but then Sullivan get the England honours and played well in that cup run.

Why change pre season?

Maybe part of the deal could be send Martin on loan to Aldershot?

You know THAT is a VERY good point...

IMO Henderson was crap.

If he is retained (if he is out of contract).

Exactly, if you make brave choice why not stick with them.

 

[Dave the OAP]

I wonder if he is good at RUSTLING his defence?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Also, in my view.

The club missed a trick by not offering one of the young keepers to Crawley in the summer when they were looking around for some - would have got tested at a decent level.

But if Martin is out of contract it is time to make a decision again and if he is not ready, is it worth banking on potential?

Having Martin and Sullivan come through at the same time was always going to cause potential issues as they were both highly rated and if we discarded one of them it could come back to haunt us.

Spot on. What happened to this new relationship we were supposed to be having with Crawley?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Isnt Winterton meant to be decent?

 

[Uncle Buck]

I thought we were giving Crawley a wide berth due to the situation up there.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Seemingly.

He is still fairly short, but then so was Sullivan 2 years ago in Le Harve.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I thought we were giving Crawley a wide berth due to the situation up there.

I did hear that now you mention it however Hemmer(spl) only came in after those two idiots left I believe.

I would say it is worth banking on potential, surely that is the whole point of a youth policy.

Surely we will also get more for of the two if they are playing first team footbal in say a years time. If that keeper is sold we still have a decent one to replace him.

 

[Uncle Buck]

I thought they still owned the club though?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Without having much to do with it.

Anyway thats not the point, a season at Crawley would have been better than Dorchester.
