Released by Woking will be Sarlls first signing you heard it here first. Very good midfielder signed by Sarll two years ago on good wages. First season best player played 40 games, second season out injured till Xmas played 20 games after operation. If fully fit a top top midfielder at our level a honest professional but it's a risky one.

So was getting married …….but it worked out in the end.

No for me like The last one spot on the other two

getting excited now after i heard the lad had an operation and was out till christmas. welcolm to pools young man and join a treatment room busier than A and E after a rough saturday night.

Lots of very good players get long term injuries Accy you know that's now part of the game. But these injuries don't often end a players career. Look at Shearer and Gascoigne (to name just two ) horrible injuries but come back to being top players. Maybe we should release both Doddsy and Mancini they have had bad injuries The clue was the lad has played 20 games since

7 Clubs in last 6 seasons with Woking record of 17 appearances with 7 yellow cards - oh dear!

That would make a refreshing change in our midfield….l

as long as they are not for gobbing off at refs like some of ours are. its the same yellow for gobbing off as it is taking a player out. clubs should fine players for the former but encourage the latter if the situation demands it. we know now that the meek certainly do not inherit the football earth.

know that, but i have got into meltdowns now when i hear of injured players after some of our signings and whats happened to us this season.

A manager like Sarrl will go back in for what he knows works by the sounds of his interviews and previous press stuff with Woking. So we will see... Players like this who can operate very well at this level are whats needed especially we due a clear out of the midfield so makes sense. Lets just hope the budget can accommodate a few of these ! Sometimes players like this will want the same cash even though they are out of a job.

is he a manager who signs ex players from clubs he was previously at. no clue whatsoever but some do as they are trusted to do a job they want.

Signed for Ebbsfleet. You heard that here first.

Don't worry we will buy him off Ebbsfleet we still have 8 :weeks.

The big boys stretching their financial muscles again….

So fleetadmiral you joined in January 24 and have just decided to post your very 1st message congratulations Why now

Because I'm an Ebbsfleet fan. Signed up when you played us. Not a crime, I presume?

Not at all Mr Fleet just thought it strange but that explains the reason. Good luck for next season and BTW you have a proper player in Kellerman

That keeper of theirs (Jaaskelainen) who someone said would be following Sarll to Pools isn't either- he's staying at Woking.

I was told by a so called good source that Kellerman was nailed on I guess I should know better than believing these silly rumours.

Come off it mate, you’re obviously a Russian Spy and that’s why Inspector Leggie is quizzing you.
He’s always on the job..and like’s his work as well.

he will not be the first we,ll miss out on and hopefully some other club will miss out on a player we sign eventually. just hope any signings are not players who come because nobody else are interested in them.

Keller man is 29yrs old living in London most likely has a wife and family and settled down south. Why would he want to come to the north east when he could probably have the pick of a number of clubs down south.

That's been said about many many other players over the years but some players like us lot enjoy moving around the country and enjoying the experience that brings. I worked in 5 different Area's and we moved approximately every 2 years on average. But I must admit when the first child was born we decided we wanted to move back before she started school and we did.

however in many cases with married players its not the players themselves who do not want the move and would look forward to it to get their wives to cut the apron strings from the wives parents.

Heard last night we are almost over the line with a few players - one been Blackett from SS and also the lad from Kiddy who was at Darlo before.

Woking just signed Beautyman too and another 2 good players for this level. They will have a much better team next season with those signings.

Who would you want to play for as a professional footballer? Hartlepool United or Ebbsfleet? If we offered the money he would of come, we probobly werent even interested in him.

unless you were a lifelong fan of either you,d choose the one who offered the best deal and would inconveniance you and your family the least. just because one club has a better league history does not pay the bills or make a family happy. its not as if players live in the town they play for anymore as clubs somewhere like luton would not exist in pro form.

So if a wrexham stockport chesterfield came in for him, do we really think he would be going to ebbsfleet? Money talks players will go anywhere.

I agree but those clubs are paying money which we could never compete with. Some people just don’t uderstand we have a budget, like it or not, and we have to keep to it or go bust.

Kellerman has played for St mirren, Fylde, chesterfield aldershot and woking. Looks like moving isnt a factor, we wont of been in for him.

But were not competing with them we are competitng with ebbsfleet, fylde, solihull, halifax, gateshead, oldham, no one is asking for the club to go bust but im more than sure we can outbid outmuscle most clubs in this league or we should be able too. Two years ago we lost a player to South Shields it was pretty telling at the time and nothibgs really changed since.

We are a club going through the motions as the bloke at the top no longer gives a shit, he wants out but also wants all of his money back so is doing the bare minimum in the folorn hope someone comes in with an emotional offer as they don’t want to see a traditional league club zombie it’s way down the leagues

Most likely scenario is at some point in the next couple of years he miscalculates again, we get relegated again and he finally throws the towel in blaming everyone but himself while his fans spokesmen does a comical Ali routine

totally agree on the above !

a slowly sinking ship - confirmed really with todays news that Sarrl wants the team filled with local lads. Cheaper option i get and saving paying the digs out but the North East local talent seems to wander else where most the time. We need to get the Sunderland and Newcasltle cast offs more often and get more players like Mols and Sterry !

If we could get players like them two great but for every Mols and Sterry we’ve probably had twenty failures from the N.E big three. Also I don’t think either came directly from Sunderland or Newcastle they had been let go and were playing for S. Shields and Gateshead.

plus you are backing yourself into a corner by only looking for players from a certain area. again it goes to show the possible limitations of our scouting network or a money saving exercise.

Boro - Newcastle and Sunderland have jut released a tonne of lads - id suspect at least 2 of them would be NL capable

you would think so, but altrincham do not seem to sign similar types of player released by the two manchester clubs but got into the play offs. it has never been that easy for players to adjust from under age football to the mans game and is becoming harder the way under aged football is played at the top level.

I am with your views Mr A. The vast majority of these players let go by the big three will be young players who have never played ‘mans’ football. There will of course be one or two who will probably eventually make the grade but they are few and far between.

Lets be honest most loanees from the big 3 have been nothing short of garbage, slightly worrying we now want to go down this track again.

Think we signed Mols directly after he was released by Sunderland didn't we? He'd been on loan at Gateshead then came to us on loan while still a Sunderland player then signed permanently when his contract at Sunderland wasn't renewed?
Gateshead had quite a few NE based players last season and in previous seasons to be fair, just need to find the gems really.

If we sign that kid we had on loan from two years ago as is rumored you can nail us down for a bottom 8
Finish

It’s just that we’re crap at ‘mining’ for ‘gems’.

Ellis Taylor was on loan when he was 19 or 20 and we were playing div 2 football. He's a couple of years older now and could be far stronger and ready for the man's game.

They normally send the decent ones to other clubs like port Vale Harrogate etc.
We due a decent one who you would think would like to stay in the area.
UTP.

Depends what sort of welcome you recieved, Prey tell.


PS: If your a real Admiral, Snowy will know.

we got one in cass but the mags wanted him playing outside the area at port vale to get him away from his confort zone and to improve. we cannot win unless its the garbage they want to dump on us. its not as if we will ever be a big threat to them as a club.

Let’s be honest with no reserve team football and seven subs needed all these clubs only send out young players to get expierence of men’s football. To call them garbage is totally wrong they are young players who these big clubs had seen as good prospects. Sadly the majority do not make the grade.

the thing is thats nothing new and has always been the case. its just there are more of em nowadays with these acadamies about and kids getting kicked out at all ages unlike years ago they were at 18. for me its a complete joke clubs signing 8 year olds on as if anyone can tell at that age how they,d end up.
