Colin has been subject to several lucrative offers as he was last pre-season.I think with his coaching work and business in the altrincham it wouldnt be viable for him to revert back to full time football football.His children go to school locally, he's always lived in and around brooklands,so I would say as good an offer as it may be, it will probably be a nonstarter,but who knows.And he's just signed a new two-year contract.It would be of more benefit to cambridge if JQ didnt go for the "quick fix" and had a look around the lower leagues for some hungry young lads that can be developed.Maybe like the two we've just signed,people go "WHOOOOO?" But in recent years we've pluckedKevin Elliision from the league of wales who went onto be the last player to leave a nonleague club and go straight into a premiership side, making his debut at Old Traffiord for leicester.Also Ian Craney and Lewis Chalmer, who camefrom Runcorn Reserves and one through are youth team after being spotted playing for fletcher moss.Both won a conference titile the season after leaving altrincham,we havent the resource to stop these young lads moving onto full time football,and good luck to them, but a full time side such as cambridge could.
Imagine the sort of team we'd have if it was built around a midfiled partnership of craney and chalmers! Aldershot are the perfect model to follow,they got it bang on.
