Closer than he is to being a footballer!!

We didn’t need two target men and Bennett for me from what I’ve seen is the much better player both technically and in the air. Just hope Barrow don’t recall him before the end of the season, bye Gerry just probably not what was required here after all, best of luck though.

[Sanfran49]

So 2 spaces then.

I’m listening to Eastleigh v Oldham.

Gez playing for the Spitfires.
Joe playing for the Latics.

0-0 at moment.

[WonderGoals]

Maybe Dean didn’t think we needed 3 target men because now Carver is back he can play second fiddle to Bennett who looks the best of the 3 by quite some distance.

Might now release some funds for another CM player which Hilton mentioned the other day when Bunker was recalled.

[ironfromafar]

contract mutually terminated …. obviously prefers to play football or doesnt like bowling !!

[Square Ball Bullimore]

Shame quite liked him

[ironfromafar]

did not see enough of him to form any opinion though he did take his goal well against Barnet.

Bunker gone Gerry gone … probably not the last of the newbies to leave ( ?? maybe next) and some of the old guard as well Taft ? Rowe ?

Not the time yet to let players leave,matches coming thick and fast, sure to pick up injuries,while there is still a chance keep the squad together. A couple of new additions would be nice , striker and experienced midfielder if there is any one available,. McDonagh played ninety minutes for Eastleigh so got match fitness here, bunker,match fit and ready to go got four minutes,a really good prospect given his age,gave his best while here,good luck to him.

Now at his 12th club in 6 seasons, could tell a story?

[SD0101]

A bit of a traveller in him

[BarnardFoxtonBarker..]

Best goals per game/games ratio whilst with us.

[Northumbiron]

A massive 13 goals in 8 years is nowt to be writing home about mind!

[Pat O’Cake]

Best of luck to him, Bennett is better IMO. A few talking about another midfielder? Really? Not for me, we have plenty in that department bearing in mind only 5 subs in this league, I would go with what we have at the moment, if we must bring more in then a striker for me but how many prolific goal scorers are going to be available at this stage of the season?

[Ferrite]

What happened to the rule about not playing for more than 2 clubs in a single season? I’m surprised he can play for Eastleigh.

This is the FIFA rule, so I’m still a bit confused how this is allowed:

Players may be registered with a maximum of three clubs during one season.
During this period, the player is only eligible to play official matches for
two clubs. As an exception to this rule, a player moving between two clubs
belonging to associations with overlapping seasons (i.e. start of the season in
summer/autumn as opposed to winter/spring) may be eligible to play in official
matches for a third club during the relevant season, provided he has fully
complied with his contractual obligations towards his previous clubs.
