GKing521 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I'm not reading much into Unsworth saying 'no' to the three players that were mentioned on Twitter. Anyone expecting an honest answer regarding names at this stage is foolish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 l'm also reading nothing into Rhino denying them targets. l wanted chester to come up bc their fans have an edge and its nice n close, but them not doin might help us to get Willoughby.

oldham57 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Pay Yarney what he's due, he's been immense for us and deserves every penny, no injuries, no ego, just does his job superbly....get Green signed up as well, always a threat.....as for any new players, there's a huge pool out there and we're a decent prospect for any aspiring hungry player, the future's bright ️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_b_100 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I am far less concerned about 'who' we sign than I was last season. Of the two stand out players for this season (Yarney/Kitching) one I had never heard of in Yarney and the comments on here were really negative and here we are tryinf to extend his contractpast the end of next season already. When Green came in some were almost laughing but he has looked good enough to me to challenge next year. Two or three of players I had never heard of before wont worry me in the slightest if they have seen the same appitite those two had. Its no coincidence that the upturn in form coincides with Yarneys arrival and green has chipped in with goals whilst also giving us width. Add a name to that to sell a few more season tickets and we have a team that will hopefully play for each other. This reminds me of 87-88 ......... we know what happened then, maybe its our turn now!

Those most vocally denigrating new signings they've never heard of are usually the ones who claim they are more knowledgeable than the pros, with little or no evidence. It's probably better to watch a player for at least 5 minutes before binning them !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct Bob, it's amazing how many rule a player out just because of his current club without ever seeing him play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. These 3 are banded about and essentially they're excellent at semi pro level. Perhaps we are aiming at this stage for players who can excel at league 2 level minimum. Plenty better out there than these 3, whether we can get them is another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Jamie Sterry who can play as a conventional rightback or in a wing back role is moving on from Hartlepool, be well worth a look, was one of Hartlepools stand outs when they went up out of the NL and at 27 you'd think approaching his peak.

Why is he moving on? Staying at Hartlepool or coming here would be a move down wouldn’t it? Pools fans seem to rate him highly however he looks to have played pretty much all his career in the North East and a move here would involve him moving house so we’d have to offer him at least a 2 year deal I would think.

penrhyn Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Conor Grant might be one we are interested in, dont know how affordable he would be. I would love James Sterry, he would do a similar job to Kitchen was a threat last time we played Hartlepool at home in League 2. Matty Lund also a good shout , Wilson released by Port Vale too.
