Remember George Melling from a year or three ago. Defender with potential to make it big at BSP level. Prefered to stay with his local team some leagues below us. Where is he now?
We need players with some ambition to make it to a higher level.

I never rated George Melling as good enough to play at even BSN level - an honest player, but short of pace.

If players have ambition and are good enough to play at a higher level the chances are they will be already talking to full time clubs so alty wouldn't get a sniff, as for players that want to stay down the pyramid because there comfortable and the wages we offer isn't luring enough then I can understand that too,

Believe he's at Kendal Town.

I must say, although he seemed keen enough, I think even he realised he was too slow for it all at BSN never mind BSP.

Unless of course they have a decent day job paying a good wage already. There used to be lots of them around in the good old days  ???

Too true, but I think the major issue is part time players who can actually take lots of time off, often at short notice. Not so bad for the self employed but even then in a recession these blokes need to be careful. In the old NLP days with mostly local fixtures too it was less of a problem.

The lads obviously got no bottle.

Better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all.

He is in his comfort zone at Salford.

Shame for both us really..he obviously still has potential.


or maybe we just didn't put the money on the table?

After all, if i was expected to work longer hours in a more difficult job, i'd probably want a significant pay increase.

This is all purely speculation mind. He may have other personal reasons why he doesn't want to play for Altrincham.

I agree if it was just a job but the chance of playing football at a higher level isnt the same is it?

For the amount of minutes played is Steve Foster the most talked about player ever?
 

Agree. 8 minutes as sub, how can you judge a player in 8 minutes,FFS.

He may have scored a lot of goals for Salford, but so had James McCarthy for Warrington and how many goals did we get from him. ??? ??? ???
