Thank goodness.
-
Gonna score a boatload and make us look silly 100%. Best of luck to him other than the 10th April.
Still think we've strengthened up front so good business for the club.
-
We've banked a fee for him.
I think it's about time we gave the board a bit of a break.
-
Good luck to him and I am sure he will bag a few, but correct decision for us.
To get a fee is a bonus.

If you really believe that, I've got a great eight year old Dacia you might be interested in! 😂🤣😂🤣

Fixed for you 😊

I’ve made my feelings on the stick Marcus’ has received well known, so I won’t go back over that again. He just wasn’t quite good enough, though, and it seems sensible business to move him on for a fee after the arrival of Linney.
Plenty will disagree but I always felt he gave his all and wanted to succeed here. Sometimes a player/club combination just isn’t meant to be.

I mean no disrespect to Marcus - he put in plenty of effort, but in terms of quality he just fell short - simple as that.
Given it's fair to say most of us thought we'd need to release him, rather than take a fee, I think the board have done well in the circumstances.
Fair play if they've recouped most (or all?) of the Linney money in the process - we know he was Gateshead's first choice too.
Best of luck to him and I hope he does well there - he needed a change of scenery. He'll do very well for them if they drop into the NLN.
-
As for Jordan, I'd like to think we're on to FCUM to see if they'd like to take him on loan to replace Linney (like Chesterfield / Rochdale have done with us).
I'd rather subsidise half his wages as he's sadly not making much difference being round here at the moment, whereas he'd be great for them.

That's a good idea. Would be beneficial to all parties.

Marvellous

One problem… we can only name 5 loan players in our match day squad… Would Hulme not make it in the 11 we would need to name? Do we even have 11 without him?

Taking personal feelings out of it 10 goals in 33 isn't that bad a ratio is it?

Taking personal feelings out of it 10 goals in 33 isn't that bad a ratio is it?
Firstly, it's ten from nearer fifty if you count sub appearances.
Secondly, how many were tap ins?
Thirdly, how many glaring misses has he had?
Fourthly, chances to goals scored ratio probably 6 or 7 to 1 when it needs to be, at the outside, 3 or 4 to 1.
As has been said elsewhere, not NL quality sadly however nice a lad and however hard he tried.
-
Good move for both parties. We didn’t see the best of him for whatever reason. I think there’s a NL player in there, I hope it goes well for him at the heed.
-
One of the most frustrating players we've had in seasons. Wish him loads of luck except at our expense.

Is he
-
I sincerely wish Marcus all the best - never gave less than 100% and there's clearly a decent player in there.
-
I didn't realise Danny Elliott had been recalled from Gateshead by Boreham Wood - good luck if they think Marcus is going to replace him.
Elliott linked with a move to York City - he's proven at this level, maybe York have more resources than us (you'd probably think so) as he'd be great here.
-
Yep, Danny Elliott would have been a good shout, but I really believe we have done much much better with Regan.
I actually thought we'd go for Connor Hall at Chorley.

Couldn’t care less how many were tap ins!!
It’s not quite worked out but whether it’s a lockdown/bcd thing or not I don’t know but Marcus Dinanga is comfortably better than at least half a dozen of the strikers who preceded him in the season before.
To talk of him as on a par with the all time great Alty duffers is really odd to be honest?
-
He's not on a par with some of the duffers but he's just not good enough, full stop.
-
My abiding memory of him will him be blazing over the bar at vauxhall with just the keeper to beat
A very astute piece of business.

Not odd at all. He couldn't do the basic things required by a footballer. Never tackled anyone, never beat anyone, never won a header (it's debatable if he ever actually jumped for one), and couldn't hit a barn door.
He's right up.there with the worst.

Same... after seeing that I could no longer defend him or keep thinking that he'd turn it round at some point.
-
I hope that the board have insisted that Dinanga's transfer deal to Gateshead includes a sell-on clause.....

As said before on my earlier posts......not good enough at NL level but a decent NLN or NLS player.....far from being up there with some of the recent hopeless number nines we have had.
You never know, he may click at Gateshead and do a job for them

completely agree with this . He will (when he has just a couple more seconds to think and a bit more space) be much more succesful. At this level for us he sadly had very little composure.
-
Good Luck to Marcus, got far too much abuse from many Alty fans I believe, when he was basically trying to score goals for us.
No the worst striker we've ever had and not the best either. Onto a new chapter now.

Danny Elliott has now signed for SC**thorpe.

If I gave you a list of the dozen or so strikers we had the season before he signed, where would you put him?
-
If people think he's worse than the likes of Byron Harrison - who has been on the books this season - then I'm afraid they're talking absolute bollocks.
-
If Byron Harrison has ever tackled someone, beaten someone, won a header or shown the vaguest ability to finish, he's better than Dinanga.

this said also probably got the most songs sung to him over any other player as well to encourage him

It took us 18 months to have a song, every mistake was berated.

I didn't rate Marcus at our level from a very early stage, and it's a relief to me that we've finally given up on him. Comparisons with the likes of Harrison, Blyth, or Adariboyo are futile - they merely passed through - but Marcus was given a 2 year contract and we were saddled with him. If he'd been non-contractual I seriously believe he'd have been shown the door last season instead of going out on loan.
-
I agree. That's a significant point, OFITG.

Sensible post. I observed that he always had to take a touch upon receiving the ball and this nearly always led to it bobbling away from him or for the ball to be lost in a tackle.
He did a good job for Dartford (National League South) when we sent him there on loan scoring 13 times in 16 appearances. It seems likely that he has a reasonable future at that level and I wish him good luck.
