Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Suggested squad for next season with recommended signings.
« on: May 14, 2007, 02:53:47 PM »My, this is a good thread.Matt Doughty would be a good signing but can we afford him. I wouldn't want Mike Moseley. He dives too much and his miss against Frickley cost me collecting on 16-1 on Witton winning the league. I would rather have Adam Warlow who was on loan at Witton and has been released by Crewe.So we've no idea who's being released, who on earth might be available from other clubs or what the budget will be. Everyones squad is basically this seasons minus the released Thomson and Bowler, Talbs expected to reitire, maybe Andy Scott released and a bit of debate about whether Asa is still up to it and will anyone who has left us in the past couple of years come back! The only suggested signing has been Terry Fearns. Think this one is best left until the start of July.
That said...
... I think we keep roughly the squad we've got now, I think Colin and Joe would be a right handful. Joe has a burst of pace that would serve him well in BSN. We must tho, must, sign a left back (Warren so much more threatening on left mid), a decent winger (more so a right sided one I guess) and a target man. Unfortunately finances have taken a hit just as it looked like we could strengthen the team for the first time in years. On crowds of 700 next season (don't kid yourselves it'll be higher unless we are clear at the top of the league) that won't be the case and cuts may have to be made beyond just the Bowler/Thomson wages.
If I knew of any players maybe Matt Doughty of Halifax will leave in the summer, he might of come to confnat but not BSN, wingers are rarer these days, if it went tits up at Vics and we'd stayed up maybe Chris Williams, now looking at Jamie Tandy if he doesn't cut it in the national with Droylesden, decent target men I really don't know. Always like Mike Moseley at Witton but he's more in the Rod Thornley mould.
