***Blue Square Premier Transfers***

Thought I'd start a new thread that we can all contribute to, to monitor all the latest transfer news for our rival conference teams:

I'll start with these...

KEITH BRIGGS - Kiddiminster Harriers Club Captain is finalising his move to Fleetwood Town today (27/5/11)
JONNY ALLAN - Last season top scorer for Gateshead, has joined Harrogate Town in Blue Square North
MARK ALBRIGHTON - Kiddiminster centre half has joined Nuneaton town in Blue Square North.

Fleetwood are really going all out next season!!! The new Crawley?

Wasnt Johnny Allan in Eastenders I thought their top scorer was John Shaw??

Quoted from Mighty_Mariner

Fleetwood are really going all out next season!!! The new Crawley?

Possibly.
17/2 from 11/1 - I said they'd be in single digits.
Still a fair price too.

Chris Todd, Newport defender to Forest Green.

Steve Guinan to Kidderminster from Forest Green

Quoted from Townfantom

Celtic Under-19 captain MATTHEW HUGHES is on verge of signing for Fleetwood Town

Sounds an exciting prospect. This is the sort of player we need to be looking at BP.
Celtic paid 100k for him as a 16 year old

Fleetwood are the new Crawley no one is going to get near them in terms of spending this season (they already spent a bit last season), most likely gonna walk to the title like Crawley too.

http://www.bluesqfootball.com/story/0,20970,13040_6954835,00.html


Kiddiminster have signed two midfielders 23-year-old SCOTT PHELAN former Everton Trainee, laterly at Bradford and FC Halifax and JACK CRESSWELL former Manc Utd trainee, aged 18 who was at Walsall last term

We need to start signing some quality soon in my opinion.

don't panic don't panic

I think Fleetwood are panic buying. Spending money as quickly as they are, looks to me like they are trying to make people take notice of them. When it all goes mammaries up for them not doing their research I will successfully say I told ya so

Not a bad point, btw I love the signature!

***Fleetwood's Transfer Thread***

It should be renamed, I'm happy for them and hope it works out, better fans then Crawley's anyway, made some good noise from the ozzy when they came.

Good Luck fellow cods

Cheers I do have those occasionally, getting that on a canvas as well.

Gary Brabin has signed a two year contract with Luton Town. He'd only been on a short-term deal since replacing Richard Money.
Fleetwood may be splashing the cash but they'll do well to top Luton.

What makes you say that...??? They have been topped the last two seasons when people thought they would romp it, so what is so different next season to make them more capable...???

Well I agree. But it seems Rokerite thnks he can/will.
My feeling is that they will finish lower next season, but still be a play-off side.

You're right that Luton Town have been favourites in their previous two seasons at this level, I just think that it'll be third time lucky for them. The season kicks off eleven weeks tomorrow I believe, so it's a bit early to be predicting; but that isn't going to stop me.
1st Luton Town,
2nd Mansfield Town,
3rd Grimsby Town,
4th Fleetwood Town,
5th Darlington,
6th Newport County,
7th Kidderminster Harriers.
8th York City.
Ofcourse, I reserve the right to alter these predictions several times, even before the second saturday in August, and will do so no doubt; but that's my forecast on 27th May, 2011.
Fear not Marinette, no ante-post betting will be made, involving Grimsby Town or any other team.

If I was at Fleetwood I would be quite keen to know why his potential went from £100k Scots Premier to BSP in 3 years.

Didn't have a go at the Rangers 1st team and probably homesick so no surprise.

not a good idea for Celtic players to be "having a go" at Rangers first team. They are in enough trouble for that already.

Cpl.Jones.... where are you.... " DONT PANIC..... DONT PANIC !!!!!
hardly has the sweat been wiped off the brows from last season.... jeeeeze.....

I think this season we will be mid-table.... normal run of the mill rubbish with gates averaging 2,000..... ( if we're lucky ! )

( well last season I predicted top half pushing for play offs and expecting a 4,000 average.... )

Fair enough... To be fair you seem quite up on the BSP, the players, managers and teams but I can't see Luton being top... They have stutttered their way through games since Brabin took over and whilst I know it sometimes taks time, he should have settled quickly and got results as he walked straight into a team that was getting results and he was already there, so knew the players etc...

Anyway, I'll take third, hope you're right...

rumours on Luton forum that Fleetwood are offering 250k for Connell.

most likely bullshite but if it happened a front three of viera, connell and brodie would be scary.

Not that we would be stupid enough to sell him to a rival club........... would we?

Can you see him going to another non-league club when he's stated that he wants to play in the football league? Can't see that one happening IMO

craig mcallister has signed for newport county on 2yr deal from crawley

Good player so an excellent signing for Newport.

It's a bit of a pain in the bottom to see that, since we were relegated, so many teams in the BSP have been taken over by moneybags chairmen willing to splash the cash!

Quoted from zorro_is_a_Mariner

We need to start signing some quality soon in my opinion.

IMHO I agree with you it puts the shits up me waiting whilst other teams are getting the best firsst I seem too get the feeling what started off well is going to end up like last 2 seasons .

Wanted him here tbh, a in-form peacock i would say but S&H got their own ideas.

beginning to wonder what those ideas might be....  I cant see much happening next season...

Just a gut-feeling.   Hope they prove me wrong but I have never felt so disillusioned....

couldnt give a toss at the moment , whereas last year I couldnt wait for the fixtures to be
published , even knew the date when they were due out... havent a clue this year...

Last year was checkin out the new shirts... usually buy one every 2 years , and this year is when I'm due to get one,
but dont know if I'll bother....

I'm waiting with bated breath for the fixtures to be released, just like every year.
I think this is going to be a fascinating season in the BSP, and Grimsby Town will be right in the mix at the top. With so many talented and ambitious managers; Brabin, Burr, Cooper, Cox, Hudson, Mellon and last but most certainly not least, Hurst&Scott.
It's going to be a thriller; enjoy!

sorry... after years of drivel and promises I just dont hold out much hope.... it is up
to Hale and Pace / Hinge and Bracket / tweedledee and tweedledum to prove me wrong.....

Seen too much success to appreciate the crap on display now... I will wait , watch and decide in early
August if I will put in any appearances at town games then....

I live in hope.... again.... ( for about the fifth season )

I could understand any lack of activity if lots of other teams weren't signing players.

Scott talked about wanting quality but that some of these players would be considering other offers ?
Comments like this concern me a little.

Was it a conscious decision by the managers to wait ? If so, why ?
I really hope it's for great value players...

However I fear I can already hear the abuse (from those who think we're on a par with Fleetwood) arriving in the distance.

Then again, wouldn't it be great to be proved wrong and see the club stand up and be counted ?  

Well, now all of the play-offs have finished, I think we'll start looking to sign player just like what H&S said

Danny Potter, Goalkeeper ex-Torquay has signed for Newport County

I sure hope the managers have got some players already lined up to sign soon. IT DOES appear we're doing the atandard GFTC thing and leaving it late to sign anyone. It's surely a fact that the best players in this and indeed any other division will be snapped up sooner rather than later.

There is that argument, or there is the argument to say the best players may wait until they see what offers they get and the shite will take the first offer made to them...

To be honest the only players that have already Transferred that I would have liked to have seen here were Lee Stephenson whos gone to Mansfield and Ross Hannah who joined Bradford.  Possibly Richard Brodie too although haven't been that impressed when i've seen him and think there are better options than him up front available to us

Cummins went sharpish though didn't he... And maybe the rest of the shite haven't been offered anything yet...???

It doesn't matter when you sign players.It matters that you sign the right ones.

I refer you all to our last round of signings in Jan.Makes me shudder.

It's only really free agents that have been released early that start moving before June isn't it?

Most players contracts run out tonight i believe and the terrible twosome did say that there wouldn't be much movement until after the play offs ended and also stated that not all the squad would be assembled before pre season training started or even the pre season friendlies,so i'm not that fussed yet.

There will be a lot of to-ing and fro-ing i would imagine,with the best players having more than one option.These type of players can more or less sit back and wait for clubs to come to them with their best offers.Some we will get,some will go to others.I'm sure Scohurst said they had about 60 players on their list and obviously,the ones at the top of that list will be the priorities.

We really need to get it right this time,so we are not looking to offload in a few months time yet again.The management have a track record at their last two clubs of squad building,so i think they have a better understanding of things than the last two did.

Fooking hope so anyway.

Yep tomorrow is where the fun really starts with transfer activity. Also I seem to remember people asking when the new shirts will go on sale I asked the lass at the ticket office and she said 14th june is when they are released for sale so I presume we don't get to pick our shirt this year.

Well said. People always criticise if we are late signing players. It is absolutely necessary to get the right ones (to get us out of this division quickly) and I think H&S know many contacts and are biding their time

Bradley Pritchard gone to Charlton from Hayes and Yeading!

Very impressed with him when he scored against us at home.

Another signing for Bath. Striker Jamie Cook from Crawley

Darlington have signed striker James Walshaw from Guiseley.

all competitions last season 54 appearances, 32 goals.

his Guiseley career, 110 appearances, 67 goals.

Fleetwood sign another

Andy Mangan from Wrexham

http://www.fleetwoodtownfc.com.....rom=&ucat=1&

If they don't win the title someone has spent more than them!

Fleetwood have made some excellent signings. Still think Mansfield will blow them out the water when they start their own version of doing a Crawley though.

With Mansfield, Fleetwood and Luton in the league it is going to be a very difficult year to get promoted.

Yeah, it's already looking like it's going to take something special to finish ahead of Fleetwood. Another very good signing in Mangan. They are following Crawley's model of buying the best BSP players.

Paul bolland from Maccelsfield to Mansfield
Matty Blair from Kidderminster to York
Kris Taylor from Port Vale to Darlington

Adam Newton has been released from Luton Town and Claude Gnakpa has yet to agree terms, definately think these would both be excellent signings for us if we could get them on board.  Lloyd Owusu has been released by them too.

Also noticed that Braintree have so far failed to get there top scorer Sean Marks on a contract, he's only 25 and scored 24 goals last term

Quoted from mariner91

Can't wait for Quakerz to come on and tell us that signing BSN players will make you BSN quality .

No I meant if you sign a few BSN players. Anyway we signed Taylor from L2 to make up for it. I'm hearing a rumour that you're after one of "our" players by the way.

Tommy Wright  

Let us have Liam Hatch and we'll call it quits

Aman Verma. Was on loan with us last season, and been released by Leicester. We've offered him a contract reputed to be £400 a week, needless to say he has better offers from other BSP and L2 clubs, who are all of course closer to home than Darlo is. Word on the street is that Grimsby are front of the queue.

Hmmm. Thanks for that...what kind of a player is he?

He's skillful and very good.

He fitted into our diamond 4-4-2 with Chandler sat deep, I'm not so sure he'd be as effective in a flat 4-4-2. Scored 7 goals for us from November when we loaned him.
