Stickied Confirmed Signings 2024/25

[DarkSithLord]

We have signed Craig Westcarr, ex Notts County and Mansfield striker

 

[Woodworm]

Decent

 

[Railway Blue]

Just been told by a reliable source that the reason Tom Shaw didn't play in last night's friendly v Wigan that he's talking to Alfreton about a return.

 

[DarkSithLord]

We have also signed Sheffield United youngster Terry Kennedy who impressed last night as a trialist. Has has also had a short loan spell at Cambridge Utd.

 

[Luke Imp]

Was also on trial here but got injured and didn't play (that I can recall).

Was quite impressed by your number 10 last night, put some good balls into the box.

 

[WokingTillIDiet]

Delano Sam-Yorke signs for Woking.

 

[Imp in Branston]

Delano Sam-Yorke signs for Woking.

He had a good partnership going here with Ben Tomlinson amongst others so if he gets decent service and played in the right position I reckon he will be a good signing for you guys.

Soooo laid back he's almost horizontal.
Started just 1 game for us last season, with 15 appearances off the bench. No goals.
Went to Boreham Wood, also played 16 games with 9 start. 1 goal.

Record is not great as a goalscorer – just 14 goals from 101 National League games.

Think he got a goal every 3-4 games at Lincoln, 16 in total? Problem was he joined at a time when we were playing hoofball under Simpson so a few players looked better than they were. He has pace and power but finishing can be a bit up and down, still think he could look decent in a side not expecting miracles, no disrespect Woking.

 

[Bluandwite]

Just been told by a reliable source that the reason Tom Shaw didn't play in last night's friendly v Wigan that he's talking to Alfreton about a return.

Official line to the press is that he had toothache, wisdom teeth trouble so sat it out.

If it is just a cover then at least we're imaginative, could have just said he had a knock!

 

[Sparrow]

Good signing. We're not going to get a much better, more experienced striker on our budget.

To be fair, he never got a run in the side and I seem to recall he should of been awarded two goals that were both given to someone else because of a slight deflection or someone getting a last touch on a shot with the ball halfway over the line anyway. He'll do a job.

9 or 10 I think.

As you say, he was a very good foil for Ben Tomlinson. But he's never going to be a decent goal scorer and his shooting was incredibly wayward. He'll cause enough problems with his hold up play, pace and strength, though. It'll be more about who you can get up there with him otherwise he'll end up looking like a poor signing.

His first spell was probably better for him here than his second spell when he seemed to get wound up incredibly easy. I think he got sent off twice for violent conduct but in all honesty, I don't think enjoyed being away from London, which was why I was surprised he went to FGR last summer (and he went to FGR full stop tbh regardless of location).

He came up through our academy system, so he knows the area as well as the club. Must admit I'm surprised that he's had a pretty decent career since he left us - when he subsequently pitched up at Basingstoke, I thought that would be his level.

Plus of course Delano was out of action for many months following a hernia operation. Ady P admitted at start of last season that Delano was not performing as he knew capable and that was entirely down to his dodgy hernia. Woking have done well in securing his services.

 

[Sparrow]

We've also signed Max Kretzschmar, a 22-year-old JOHN GODDARD type, who was released by Wycombe.

A further signing to be announced around 3pm.


GOING FOR IT

 

[Greenacres]

Sparrow - Are you still part-time at Woking or have you gone either full-time or semi-full?

Your squad is starting to shape up nicely.

Still part-time with a 15% reduced budget this season.

 

[Steve_Wafc]

Sam-Yorke has always looked a handy player to me. He scored a few crucial goals for Cambridge in their promotion season, including the Play-offs. Definitely someone good enough as a Plan B for a promotion chasing side.

 

[Railway Blue]

Official line to the press is that he had toothache, wisdom teeth trouble so sat it out.

If it is just a cover then at least we're imaginative, could have just said he had a knock!

The person who told me he was lining up a return to Alfreton has now back-tracked.

Would have been decent enough for us.

 

[FGRJC]

Delano Sam-Yorke signs for Woking.

Hahahahahahahahaha

 

[Steve_Wafc]

Would have been decent enough for us.

Definitely would have had him as another option. Don't think he would have started when we have Jordan White though, who has more to his game.

 

[Sparrow]

Gozie Ugwu, a striker, now signs. Also ex-Wycombe.

 

[GTFCfish]

Still part-time with a 15% reduced budget this season.

15% reduction?
Surprised you havn't mentioned it before.

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

The person who told me he was lining up a return to Alfreton has now back-tracked.

So not such a reliable source after all.

 

[FrankTheTank]

Anthony Jeffrey gone on season long loan to Boreham Wood. That's the end of him. he only made half a dozen or so games as a sub.
Very quick, but his touch is dire, doesn't get his head up (which is pointless if you're a winger) and has ankles made of glass.
Had something like his 3rd or 4th ankle op after Wembley and he's only 21.

 

[Sparrow]

15% reduction?

I obviously don't mention it enough seeing as Greenacres didn't know that we are part-time.

 

[EnglishRed]

255k?
