2016/17 National League North

[Who Needs Mourinho]

Salford throwing the money about signing Craig King from BPA and Matt Warburton from Curzon.

I don't know whether that is throwing money about particularly - if anybody else had signed a couple of players from the sides with smaller budgets in this league then no one would have batted an eyelid.

 

[Prodigal]

They will sign a number of players, after a few weeks of not getting a regular game some of them or of the others already at Salford will then leave in order to get regular game time, can't blame players going if silly money is on offer.

Just announced the signing of Josh O'Keefe who was with Alty last season. Centre Mid I understand, any comments from Alty fans?

Pretty atrocious, sorry.

I don't think you are going to like what they have to say.

 

[Prodigal]

Fair enough, all about opinions, time will tell.

All-action, pacey, tough-tackling midfielder with an eye for goal and a terrific passer of the ball.

But seriously though....

Err,.. good luck with that. At CN level he might do OK ish, tall lad and he tries hard enough but just never performed at all.

 

[Luke Imp]

Haha, Josh O'Keefe hasn't had a good word said about him at all the Clubs he's been. He's a nice lad, he just can't play football.

It's testament to his agent that he's still hanging around and digging in.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Curzon have signed Michael Potts an ex BPA, York and Guisley midfielder and also today signed Jack Truelove, a defender from Oldham who was on loan at Curzon last season.

they are announcing a signing each day this week so another 3-4 to come.

but their fans are very sad to see Warburton go, looks like that could be a blow for them, but as the smallest team in division is always a chance one of other local sides will nab players, key is getting best out of the replacements.

 

[GodsGift]

O'Keefe always starts off well, scoring a few goals in his first games and fans of his new club think they've got themselves a real player. Then, yeah...

Slowly working his way down but he's living off that season with Hereford where he bagged plenty.

Do you reckon this means one of Whitham or Roscoe will be leaving?

We have been linked with both.

 

[Jemfy]

Brackley have announced they've signed Jack Bowen. He was dual registered with us and Cogenhoe, scoring about 30 goals for the cooks in the UCL premier and doing well with us in the games he played for us.

Our fans were hoping to build our attack around him - or at least I was - but it's a big step up and while Jack was good for us, he didn't stand out THAT much. He's got the potential to improve, and I hope he does. A loss for us, but is he really a gain for them? I'm not so sure.

 

[Prodigal]

I doubt Whitham will be going anywhere, he seemed to be instrumental in Scott Leather joining us (big mates). I believe Roscoe has had an operation, he struggled with a niggling injury most of last season. Hope he doesn't leave, as I rate him very highly.

He asked for opinions on O'Keefe, not Nicky Clee.....

 

[Clem Fandango]

Gloucester City's new stadium validated by the council. (Full plans) Initial phase is over 3,000 capacity with 2nd phase rising to over 4,000. More details on it here;

[Greenacres]

Brilliant news Clem, about bloody time!

 

[Alty Pieman]

Good news, will that be on the old site with more flood defences?

 

[DarkSithLord]

Just heard that Bradford PA have appointed their first Director of Football?! At a part time club in Conf North? Really?

 

[B2TF]

Is "Director of Football" the most pointless post in the game (apart from, obviously, manager of Stepford Whores FC) ?

Or FC Halifax turnstile operator.

They don't even have a manager do they?

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

I though Darren edmo was at bpa?

Curzon signed Paul Ennis as 3rd signing yesterday, think he's an ex hednesford striker.

Annother coming today

At least we haven't abolished the post altogether. See you in 2017.

No. Edmonson left at th end of the season it apperas. They are going to make a firm announcement in the next 7 days. important they get the appointment right otherwise I see them struggling next season along with Curzon and I am afraid to say Chorley at the moment. Early doors though of course.

 

[Railway Blue]

Clayton MacDonald and Tristan Dunkley are leaving Worcester. MacDonald was not offered an extension while Dunkley is joining a new club apparently, he also told Carl Heeley this by text.

There's a chance he could end up following Gardiner here.

Tom Sharpe as signed a new contract with them.

Wasn't McDonald the player with Ched Evans in Rhyl rape?

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Curzon I think will be fine if they hold onto manager.

Stability can normally keep the small club heads above water

We had him on loan (ex-Burr player) the season before last but he left and never came back .... thank fuck!
