Alan's first signings


Recommended Posts


Not happy at spending £75000.

It is a major gamble. 

We might get lucky. 

The boy could be magnificent and bring us success and most importantly, keep the ball away from you know who. 

Good length of Contract meaning he can be sold for a hefty profit after a year or 18 months.. 

Still a gamble that doesn't sit easy with me. 

Welcome Josh.

Welcome Josh. 

From what I hear , "you know who" might not be our first choice this season !

Heaton looks to be very highly rated. He said when he signed for Darlo that he was hoping to get back to full-time football asap. Must admit, I'd kind of forgotten how far Darlington had fallen. Only a few years ago we were playing that friendly match at their gigantic white elephant stadium.

One thing, mind: according to soccerbase, he gets booked every game :lol:

Can only think its Brian Rice.  Was hoping for a player but think it will be our new AM

Seriously ? You think we would be paying a championship side 75k compo for their asst manager ?????

 

I'm concerned we would be paying a team at Darlington's level anywhere near 75k for a player - that seems silly money for the level he is playing at (if true of course)

Peterborough paid a reputed £120K plus for a National League South player in a my local team so there are precedents.

Let's assume this guy turns out to be decent, I think it's precisely the kind of transfer that we all hoped Stubbs would bring to the table. Rated young English lad on a long contract that we might be able to sell on for a profit if he does well. 

I, for one, welcome this approach.

I second that. The amount of top English clubs that were supposedly interested in him bodes well.

Same approach brought us James Marwood mind you.....
