Quoted from forza ivano
I'm sure hes on a 2 year deal with chesterfield. Does that mean a few is involved? If so mj must really rate him, if he's managed to persuade fent y to pay out some £££££!


With him opting to join them instead of a League One side, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a clause written in that he's free to go if they were relegated.  

Besides, he's not North London based so Martin Allen won't be interested in him...

If he signed around Christmas time that might be the Santa Clause!

Chesterfield have cut their playing budget massively so perhaps just glad to get rid of him


They need to get rid so that Martin Allen can continue building his Barnet team there!

The plus point is that young central defenders do tend to have a lot of room to develop (and early 20s is still young for the position). If he's got the physical attributes required, he'll hopefully be able to learn the rest if he does join us. You'd think that somebody with the experience of Collins would have a lot to pass on to a young defender.

Let's not forget that all we need at the moment is a decent League 2 defender. Whether or not he's capable of playing at League 1 or higher is irrelevant if he can do the job in our division.

It's also very hard to judge a young player when they've only had short spells at predominantly struggling clubs (football league wise). With a full pre season and a coach he knows, he'll hopefully prove to be a good signing.

Good morning all.

This morning I’ve had meetings with most of the players and next week I’ll have more meetings with players who are currently on holiday.

The following players are under contract but I’m happy for them to find new clubs with our help and no fees will be required. They are:

Marshall Willock
Jordan Sinnott
Chris O’Grady
Joe Anyon
Jak McCourt
Ricky German
Alex Whitmore


Martin



confirmed by chesterfield's nutter in chief that no fee's involved. look's like mj has moved quickly once he's known that whitmore's available. mostly positive comments on spirerites board about the lad
