Lambo 0 Posted June 30, 2009 This would suggest that Spillane could be plying mainly at Right back next season then.Sure this signing will be slated no end though as nobody is bound to have heard of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KCanary 0 Posted June 30, 2009 More here from Kentish football - TONBRIDGE ANGELS have this afternoon accepted an offer from an unnamed Coca-Cola League One side for big and powerful central defender Leon Legge, writes Stephen McCartney. The 23-year-old was withdrawn from the final part of Tonbridge’s opening pre-season training session yesterday, as manager Tommy Warrilow insisted afterwards that “he will probably be gone by next week.”Although the cash-strapped Ryman Premier League club are keeping the identity of the interested League club secret, Warrilow speaking to www.kentishfootball.co.uk back in January 2009, said that the big central defender was destined to turn a professional.“I think he will go into the League,” Warrilow said at the time. “It’s just a matter of when, but he has to go for the right reasons, for Leon as well.“I just don’t want him to go to a club for the sake of making the numbers up. I want him to go to a club where he’s got a genuine chance to get in the first team and push on.”He added: “If a club came in for Leon, I’d never stop the lad progressing into the Football League. Obviously it’s got to be right for both parties.”Warrilow, whose budget has been reduced this season following the shock resignations of Nick Sullivan and Garry Pass (the club’s chairman and vice-chairman respectively) last month, has admitted he must transfer listed Legge and striker Carl Rook to bring in extra funds to enable him to add to his threadbare squad.But club secretary, Charlie Cole, revealed this afternoon that the Angels have accepted a bid for the contracted former Lewes man.He said: “We have received an offer from a Division One team for Leon Legge, and the financial terms are acceptable to the club.“This offer is of course subject to Leon receiving a satisfactory medical report from that club’s doctors, and the club agreeing terms with Leon.”Warrilow was seen having a five-minute one-on-one discussion with Legge, whilst the rest of the squad started a kick-about during yesterday''s two hour work-out beside Longmead Stadium.“Leon will probably be gone by next week, that’s why I pulled him out of the game at the end,” the boss said yesterday.

AJ 1,356 Posted June 30, 2009 I thought Spillane will be playing right back next season anyway. Unless we bring in anyone else. We could do, however, with another left back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheCardinal 0 Posted June 30, 2009 Surprised if this is us. Looking at the club as it is, I think we have other areas in greater need of reinforcements than our central defence right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Bump 0 Posted June 30, 2009 *Loan City FC moment*This is where everybody loves the no ambition signing and say he''s another diamond in the rough like Cody who hasn''t proven himself yet either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 56 Posted June 30, 2009 I couldn''t find out much about him except that he''s around 24 and a hard defender. The Tonbridge website has a photo as well:http://www.tonbridgeangels.co.uk/a/FirstTeam/player.php?id=351Could possibly develop as a replacement for Dejan next year and cover for now.

Iwan is God 0 Posted June 30, 2009 Loan City Fc, you are a Wiz wannabe! A rumour & a very vague one at that surfaces linking us to a non league defender & all of a sudden its all doom & gloom, a lack of ambition! Has anyone from the club even mentioned his name? No & I doubt we''re even in for him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never Blue 0 Posted June 30, 2009 I dont know anything about him either but...I know im going to get slated for saying this but for what reason, if the price is right, would this not be a good signing? Yeah ok so he''s not Vidic but were in league 1 now. We are likely to be picking up players from lower leagues/non-league. We have no choice. And if hes good enough then why shouldnt we give him a go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USA Canary 7 Posted July 1, 2009 If we are still looking to sign central defenders, do you think the Doc or Sefanovic will be going? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Ink 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Sick-note Stefanovich will not last the season, but we also have that Hartlepool lad and Spillane.Legge is probably one for the future. A year in the reserves beckons methinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USA Canary 7 Posted July 1, 2009 I would be curious to know what sort of wages Stefanovic will be on and would it be worth it. His experience however could be valuable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
