Stickied Confirmed Signings 2023/24

[AJS]

It's a tough one to call. Nice to have options. Yeates, Kosylo, Williams, Bradley, Haughton and Hemmings. Got a few options there. Personally I think Hemmings will go. Haughton hopefully be played more central and Bradley just didn't do it as often as we hoped when he returned. Wouldn't be surprised if all three you mentioned played with Rowe up top.

You're not going to be short of attacking options. Especially considering you've got Willoughby too

I see Torquay have signed Manny Duku. Another one I think we will have been after. Good signing for them. Will do a job

Yep, pleased with that signing. One we've sort have been expecting given the GJ connection since he was listed by Cheltenham. Seemed to have a couple decent spells both at yourselves and Barnet last season.

 

[EnglishRed]

Fylde haven't got a big budget though. They are just very well run.

Most predictable signing of the summer. Johnson signed him for Cheltenham and tried to get him to Plainmoor in January. Looking forward to seeing him in tandem with Reid.

Another couple to come in before the weekend apparently.

 

[Urban]

Reid and Duku are a very dangerous strike pair, it has to be said.

 

[doveranddover]

Eastleigh have also lost Josh Hare to Bristol Rovers
They have a lot of re-building to do

 

[EnglishRed]

Where has EastleighFan gone?

He can give us the inside scoop.

 

[doveranddover]

They have just signed Jack Payne from Ebbsfleet

What the hell happened to him? When he left us I was sure he’d end up in the top end of the championship.

Seems to have been shit ever since

 

[HG Yellow&Black]

Steady is by all accounts a lovely bloke and a model pro, so wish him nothing but success.

An absolutely infuriating footballer, though. None of the things that he’s good at work together. He’s slow but a great dribbler, tall but completely ineffective in the air, wants to play with his back to goal but has a ropey first touch and isn’t a good link player, and is a fantastic finisher but never gets into goal scoring positions.

Scored 0 in the last 15 games of both of the last two seasons as well, so not exactly a man for when the pressure is on.

Also infuriating that we get told ticket prices go up by a big % as town after many years of throwing money at making someone appear like a football manager, want to be financially sustainable (total chortle mode).....and then they bring someone in who ain't going to be cheap and of that age, to go with another ex league old timer.

Anything for the daddy's boy at the helm.

Bit surprised by your signings you’ve built an excellent squad by signing young and hungry players,then sign Stead who in my opinion is past it,also Scott Brown was very poor in a good York side that got promoted,but least he played a lot for Accrington.
Lad from Brackley is good signing though.

 

[Conker]

Stead should do a cracking job at this level to be fair.

It's storing up problems for later, financially (when town lose 500k+ a year) and also in our problems of making the most of signings through positive man management. Aaron Williams being last season's casualty.

The front line better be pushing up as him and Beck are probably the slowest forwards in the league....Parkin would give them a run for the money on a 100 yard dash.

Hope your lot get sorted this coming season, tho a big shame about the move to out of town location. One of the great pub tour away games is bootham.

 

[EnglishRed]

I wouldn't mind us taking Aaron Williams off your hands if he's surplus to requirements.

From the outside Stead and.Brown are usually the kind of players we would sign in the past,but watson seems to be going down your line,signing young and hungry players.
Moving out of town isn’t great but being on that long just want it sorted looks like October will be first game.
Backed you last season and wasn’t surprised you made play offs think second season will be harder but still top 10,

Joe Partington has returned to Eastleigh.

[Raymondo316]

Gavin Hoyte is the latest former Barnet player to join us.

 

[B2TF]

That's it. You're like us. You'll be down here for ever. Reminiscing about Adam Boyd because you've got nothing else.

Yep. And you're BOTH like US. Sorry lads, you can't argue with HISTORY.

 

[Raymondo316]

We've signed George Elokobi from Aldershot

 

[Lew]

Cracking signing.

 

[Raymondo316]

Cracking signing.

Surprised by this signing to be honest, I thought he would stay with you lot or another Conference National team would snap him up.

 

[karlready]

I am very disappointed that he has not signed for us. Ah well...meanwhile, a strong rumour has it that we have signed Connor Shields from Sunderland.......blimey

 

[#Beebot]

Scott Loach signs for Barnet.

 

[rudebwoyben]

We’ve signed Scott Loach after he left Hartlepool. The Jan Oblak of the National League?

 

[Chief Rocka]

Great signing that.

 

[Urban]

Been a while since we’ve had a permanent, able-bodies decent GK.

Problem 1 of 5/6 solved. Now onto a CM, CB, RB or ST

 

[Steve_Wafc]

Super signing for Barnet, probably the 2nd best keeper in the league..
I have to echo what the Pool fans have said too though. When they came to our place, his nickname was very apt, so I’d imagine you’d have to make sure you have quite commanding centre halves to take control when he won’t. Definitely better than Cousins though.

It's a rare occurrence to see him come off his line for anything whipped in the air across the 6 yard box, he just will not move off his line, probably how he slip slided down the leagues into non league in the first place, makes up for this shortfall by being fantastic at everything else.

 

[Ban Fat Stan]

Oh dear Cousins was terrible at coming for anything. Admittedly he looked petrified in goal and had no presence at all. Hopefully Loach is better.

Anyone for Callum Reynolds, Che Alexander and Dan Sparkes... They are brilliant....
