IceStationLatic Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 We're still after a striker - is this target dead in the water? He was linked with Donny when it was reported we were interested, but that move didn't transpire. Now non-league clubs like Wrexham are being linked with him. I know some non-league clubs might have as much financial power as us these days, but surely we could match Wrexham (their future was in doubt not long ago) and the lure of a league club near where he is now would tempt him? Maybe we know other clubs are after him and he's just holding out and playing the field still - but missing a decent professional pre-season in the process...!

IceStationLatic Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Sorry, it's Damian of course. He has said on his Twitter feed that he's had no approach from Wrexham, but hinted something will be sorted soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamoafc Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Sure i read on his twitter hes had an offer from Grimsby. Had interest from higher clubs - i presume Donny, but no follow up. If he was leading our line come Mk dons id be worried, rather stick with Taylor/Smith or a new signing with football league experience.

IceStationLatic Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Nar not Grimsby - already signed loads of strikers. Grillingham the ones being linked now - his agent must be in overdrive (hence, why we've probably left it alone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondered if it's improved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStationLatic Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 I am. I cover sport for the Telegraph. I've been here for about three years. I imagine some things have improved since then, but the Mariners' fortunes certainly didn't! Ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to work with a lot of Mariners, bit rough round the edges Grimsby but made some good mates there. Lived in Laceby too which is not bad at all.

IceStationLatic Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Ha! Spot on! The owner of Steels gives me special treatment thanks to my positive endorsement of the place on twitter! Did you ever manage the 'jumbo'? I guess clubs are out for a 'bargain'. Last summer, Jamie Vardy was a similar type of player out there on the market. He was plucked from Halifax by Fleetwood for £50k I think - they had a bit money to fend off rivals and pay the most amid a slight element of risk I guess - and then 12 months on, after he continued to bang them in, he's worth £1million when he signs for Leicester!

pinevillawill Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Surely worth a gamble at 44 goals last season? According to twitter, he's only received two Blue Square North offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends really , if we're the only league club to make him an offer and we could get him on a relatively low wage then I'd certainly take him , if we have to get in a bidding war with other clubs then no as money would be spent better elsewhere , if dickov gets all his targets in and still has a bit in the coffers then I'd say go for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisbrogan Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Is he better than smith No. In all likelihood our interest cooled when he was training with us last season. He obviously didn't impress enough at that stage as we don't seem to have gone all out to secure his signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Good piece on him in today's Non-League Paper. Apparently in late June he was meant to train with PNE but his partner miscarried and he took time off to look after her. Offers came in from Wrexham, Lincoln and Gainsborough but it was Gillingham who he nearly signed for. went down about ten days ago for a medical and expected to sign However Martin Allen thought he wasn't fit enough and wanted him to go away for a fortnight and work on it. By the time he and his partner were driving back Reeves knew it wasn't right for him. He got in touch with the Altrincham chairman and has signed a two year deal - with a clause he can go for free if a League club comes in for him.

stevesidg Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Martin allen's loss will be someone else's gain. By the end of the season Allen will have had at least one other club, could be barnet for the last month to keep them in the league, then leave, then go back again, then take his shirt off, then leave, then go back again.....
