Seen him twice this year and not particularly impressed me but what do i know. Scored in both games one a penalty. The winger I've mentioned before on here was the best player on the park but seems to be working his way down the leagues.

Gaz_Oafc Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Alty only paid £10k for Linney apparently. Not much of a risk at that money is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be better than most that we have, he used to play wide in a midfield four or on the left of a front three until a year or two ago, he's only played through the middle the last season really and is nearly a goal a game. That's playing predominantly as a lone striker so it's a decent return, style of play is more like Abraham the difference being he knows where the net is.

He's been playing with PE teachers and plumbers. Have some respect for Timmy please. He'd look like Ian Wright vs the local butcher every week.

There are many at a lower level far better than we have. Edited February 6, 2023 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That front line of Rowe, Dearnley and McAleny was solid for League 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youd have dismissed Vardy as he was scoring goals against binmen and David Eyes when he was at Rhyl as a 25yo? Yet how many full time u21s from higher clubs fail to impress with many being released? Give me a non league player anytime with ability and desire over a weak willed player from leagues above.

Agree with this. I’d imagine most of our fans would have scoffed if we’d have signed Iliman N’Diaye (Currently Sheff Utd’s top scorer and played for Senegal at the World Cup) or Jayden Clarke (just moved to Gillingham from Boreham Wood) when they were both playing Sunday league football a couple of years ago. Our squad is littered with players on their way down the leagues, it’s a rare occurrence that this type of player goes back up in value. Even bloody Callum Dolan has got a move to Fleetwood in league 1, someone with raw ability who matured at semi professional level and is now playing 2 leagues higher than we are.

These are all one offs. We've seen many struggle to move from non league to league. Christ, even National North to our shite league. Bar the odd lad who doesn't want to move up job wise most aren't good enough. Look at the Dorking lads. Soon found out once they settled into this division.

BP1960 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Macclesfield left winger James Berry out for the season I hear. This is what I was afraid of as he takes so much stick in games, just scored his 50th goal for the club too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
