Stickied Confirmed Signings 2024/25

[Master D]

Chester will be going around thinking that they GAZUMPED us on this but it's clear we were only prepared to offer him a 1 year deal.

Not really arsed quite frankly, not that precious that we need to go around churning out face saving stories, unlike others.

It's THE LAW for Chester to hand out two year deals regardless.

Bobson Bawling?

Great name

Nice to see Chester also GOING FOR IT this season. And by IT I mean 16th.

 

[Lucky Bobble]

Brackley continue to sign Solihull players left right and centre - apparently they didn't like the travelling in Conf Nat - although i can't think it is so much less in Conf North?

Solihull fans, what are the merits and drawbacks of GK Danny Lewis, ST Andy Lewis & DF Connor Franklin?

Think our manager is excellent, signed some great players last year and transformed the side - but they nearly all appear to be ex-Solihull / Nuneaton players, and we badly need some consistent forwards. Trouble is, too many big sides in Conf North for us to compete with - Salford look odds on, York & Kiddy will be good, then there's Harrogate (full time), Darlington, Alfreton (new investment), Nuneaton (getting back on feet) etc etc. Hard to compete....

Isn't he a bit of a cry baby though......?

I think it's only about the 3rd or 4th 2-year deal we've ever given and 2 of those have gone to Craig Mahon (our longest serving player).

Is Kevin Wilkin still Brackley manager?

Nice man. Great eye for a player, doesn't know what to do with them.

 

[1884 Belmont]

After reports he was due to sign for Chester, Ritchie Sutton signs a new two-year contract at Prenton Park.

Think Shaw and Worsnop have previously had one, as now does Waters.

 

[DarkSithLord]

As expected, Salford have signed Mark Shelton from us. He was under contract and Salford are said to have paid us between 20-30k.

Very disappointed to see he leave and to be honest Mark will have his work cut out to lay down a regular starting place there I think.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Aldershot have signed Bobby Joe- Taylor from Maidstone.

 

[Raymondo316]

Aldershot have signed Bobby Joe- Taylor from Maidstone.

Shots must of offered him good money, because the main reason he didn't re-sign for us was down to him not wanting to quit his job.

 

[Harrier94]

The saga that has kept everyone on the edge of their seats is over Craig Disley has signed for Alfreton.

 

[Sparrow]

That's terribly embarrassing for Wrexham. Imagine being outdone by Alfreton.

Gazumped by Chester. Outmanoeuvred by Alfreton.

HOW FAR HAVE WE SUNK???!!??

don't worry - you've got more players than Macclesfield....

 

[GodsGift]

A two-year deal seems a bit risky for Disley.

Absolutely over the moon with this! #buzzing

Cannot wait to see the complete meltdown on Red Passion later.

 

[Master D]

No way were we going to offer a 50 year old Craig Disley a 2 year deal. Alfreton Going For It then, good luck to them.

 

[DarkSithLord]

A two-year deal seems a bit risky for Disley.

Good point, although he is "only" 35. Monkhouse coped well well last season at 36. How was Disley`s stamina last season Grimsby fans?

I'm guessing we've just offered him a one year deal and like with Hannah there was a two year deal on offer elsewhere.

But yeah I can see that RP will be in complete MELTDOWN now until we sign the next Conference superstar

 

[Silver Stone]

We weren't guaranteeing him first team action either remember. He was in and out of the team. Good luck to him at Shots

 

[Leewilson]

Just signed winger Dan Sparkes after he left Torquay.

 

[The_Boss]

don't worry - you've got more players than Macclesfield....

Yeah but that means Wrexham are more likely to suffer with injuries and suspensions than us. #OneStepAhead

Wrexham? It's Tranmere who are CURSED with injuries.

 

[Bendubz]

Aldershot have signed Bobby Joe- Taylor from Maidstone.

Brilliant news that. He's definitely NL standard and was our best player in the first half of the season, but once we started winning he was restricted to a few cameo appearances off the bench, and everyone bar Flish who was in front of him in the pecking order has a new contract so it would've no doubt been the same this season.

 

[Clarkey_GTFC]

Good point, although he is "only" 35. Monkhouse coped well well last season at 36. How was Disley`s stamina last season Grimsby fans?

He was fine to be honest, he's a fit guy. He's not going to cover every blade of grass but he will dictate the pace of the game, he is such a calming influence in the middle. Excellent vision and passing also, he's not the Ginger Pirlo for nothing. Won't ever back out of a 50/50 either and is actually a little prone to throwing both feet. All in all it's a brilliant signing for you and will definitely be worth the 2 years, a lot of us wanted him to stay, myself included.

Is he any good? Surprised we've gone for him considering we've already got Mensah Kanu and Fenelon.
