Probably the best left back in the National League, we are searching for a left back, we have a quality youngster on our doorstop, obviously in our bargain bin price range. So who sign him - Peterborough.
Remember also I kept mentioning Rob Atkinson as a top notch centre back when he was also local to us at Eastleigh. Of course we don't bother, he goes to Oxford last season and a 2.5 million move to Bristol City this month.
I totally agree with you here. How can you miss local players under your nose?
Vincent had been tracked for over a year my Bromley spy tells me but No reason not to give him a trial at least.
His best position maybe let sided CB or converted into Mid or winger.
My Qu. is do we have a Scouting network covering the U.K.?
If so who?
For Non-league referrals they could tie up with Jack Pearce at Bognor as he knows that market backwards.
Until the club can grow their own which will take a ew years we need a top scout to be in touch with all the league academies & U/23 teams.
DC is too busy with his brother trying to get the first team playing to a fixed formation.
