sheded 0 Posted January 4, 2007 When your in Tamworth , keep your eye on their team ...... they`ll likely have one or two hotshots waiting to blossom ! sign `em up .... you just might end up with players who actually WANT to give 100 %By the way , you could always offer an exchange deal .... Doc , MLJ , McVeigh .............[;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted January 4, 2007 a good point Sheded!just look back at the Last 15 yearsLes Ferdinand, Ian Wright, Kevin Doyle, Kevin Phillips, Glen Little, that other Reading Striker (forget his name,.. Red Haired Fella), Efan Ekoku.... these are just a few who have gone on to do reasonably well in their career... what do they have in Common??? they all came from Amateur football... the reading guy (Kitson! thats it) came from Pub Football! we should be scouring the non league for gems... Cheap, willing to play, and if we could unearth the next Les Ferdinand or Ian Wright we''d be laughingjas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cluck 0 Posted January 4, 2007 If as a club we are looking to consolidate our place in Division Two rather than push for promotion....the lower leagues and non-league are great breeding grounds for talent. Get them in before they blossom...sell off the "nearly good enoughs" and build a team around the quality finds from scratch. I wager very few supporters would be so impatient if they saw a game plan like this going on.I honestly don''t think Grant is the man for this method though......and we will see "old heads" coming in rather than promising greenhorns.

hogesar 9,671 Posted January 4, 2007 I actually think he might be looking at them for transfer! The young players there will know thier quality, know its the transfer window and a championship side are playing them! They''ll be playing at nothing less than their best, i reckon.
