Keepers

None

Defenders - 7 signed

Williams, Taylor, Francis, Hayles, Allen, Nelson, Brown

Midfielders - 4 signed

Joseph-Dubois, Spraque, Corne, Waldren

Strikers - 3 signed

Smith, Slabber, Devyne

Seeing that Joey was on the retained list but has now announced as signed, I would guess George Porter has not signed yet?

14 players on the books. Ideally would like to see an experienced keeper coming in and a back up on the books, another striker who is a bit more of a presence up front, and a left winger. Any thoughts?

Lots of defenders maybe playing 5-3-2 next year, squad looks and sounds decent. No windows next year so can change if needed

Joey Taylor looked good in Midfield and Brown can be as a left sided midfielder so good to have some players who can play in different positions.

Corne, Waldren and Joseph-Dubois provide very good competition there. Slabber is someone who has also scored goals, he doesn't seem to have been as prolific last season, but I still think that's a very credible threat up front, especially alongside Jonte Smith.

Promising so far. The keeper is the big priority now.

Slabber changed his game a bit I think....jonte and devyne are the hit men...With slabber a presence and holding ball up etc. I would expect us to loan a keeper with not many about who are good enough but available to sign. For me corne and barney are as good as gone, that will free up around 400 I believe plus whatever fee for a couple more to come in

Sprague spent the whole of last season as a left back at Hendon although we may play him further forward. We seem to have enough defenders in terms of quantity now.

We need some more midfielders - a destroyer (Kargbo?) a more creative player and maybe another wide option.

As Polo and others have said a keeper would be handy!

MG did say at the meeting the other week that he was impressed with Kargbo. Maybe he could be one they are still talking to.

Do me a favour! That ship has sailed and they loaned him to Leatherhead (why does everyone go there?!) at the end of last season.

PJD is a miles better option.

Nice little club leatherhead...as a squad player he could do a job. Pjd very very rarely plays 90 mins. He's either subbed on or off almost every game.

 To the best of my knowledge, they still train at Kidbrooke so are like a Kent team based in Surrey. I may try and investigate that further.

So as well as D******* getting a brand new stadium for next to nothing they are now presumably "earning" out of another club training there.

Mmmm......

I would guess that they train on one of the 3g facilities by the ground and the costs go directly to the council. Two teams playing on the pitch have been more than enough. I doubt that anyone trains on it as well although this is all assumption.

General, informed, speculation has it that Bod is on his way to Folkestone Invicta (although the tanners may well be in with a shout). I too believe that Sam and Barney may move on, Braintree the likely destination now that Jamie is talking about making Dean Frost his assistant. The Braintree local paper quotes him as giving the Iron current squad 10 days to accept terms, then he will assess the gaps he will need to fill - he mentions players he has worked with and knows.

More promising signings by MG, I was hoping he would nab Francis.

Generally excited with the squad that is coming together, but would like to see a keeper, and reserve, on the books. I think a vocal and experienced keeper is key to the defence. So I hope someone is on board sooner rather than later so the he can train with the squad for a few weeks.

but a warm welcome to the "new" Welling team, looking forward to watching you play, home & away.

What is Paul Bastock doing these days..... or do you not want THAT experienced and THAT vocal?

With regards to the goalkeeper vacancy, now training is just two evenings a week maybe Sam Mott could come back?

Did very well for us when we got promoted and only left because of the new training schedule.

He got injured away at Bromley during pre-season and Lee Butcher came in as his replacement and was made number 1

Lee Butcher quit the game for good after leaving us, which is sad. He did come in as cover on the bench at very short notice for the cup game against Maidstone although I believe he hadn't trained for some time since leaving.

 What a shame. Fantastic keeper. Hardly put a foot wrong for us. I know work commitments stopped him from training 3 times a week and having no proper sleep when traveling to away games. Just thought training 2 evenings and less travel might suit him now.

Preston Edwards released by Ebbsfleet. Very good keeper at this level.

Unfortunately, I understand he already has a pre-release agreement to sign for Dulwich Hamlet.

Brandon Hall, the goalkeeper who kept Edwards out, has also been released it appears.

If we're really stuck for a keeper then I believe Paul Agu (Bromley reserve keeper) is available. MG obviously knows him already, and the two evenings training may be better suited given his full time work commitments.

Maybe not the best option but an option nonetheless.

Brandon Hall went from England C keeper to not even making the £bbsfl££t team towards the end of the season. Doesn't mean he is not good enough of course but he seems to have lost form dramatically in the last few months. One also assumes that if he was on the payroll there his wage demands might be quite steep??

Chirpy little chap from what I remember as well..

The other keeper released was Rafferty from Dover. Originally from Sidcup but don't know if he is still local. Has had some injury issues as well I believe so not sure.

Chris Lewington has also been released by Margate, former league keeper who lives local that Faz turned down at the last minute last season.

Joe Howe among those released by £bbsfl££t.

Never thought much of him in his brief spell as a utility player at PVR but has turned into a more than decent full back over the last few seasons.

However we do appear to already be well stocked in that area.

The squad on the official site now includes Dean Leac*ck, Warren Whiteley and Jerry Amoo.

I knew about Leac*ck joining via the latest interview but had no idea of Whiteley and Amoo being added to the squad.

Warren Whitely signed Saturday i believe. He played for Thamesmead against us 2 weeks ago and was tearing us apart. A few of us had said that he looked useful. Ex Chelmsford i believe.
