Torquay United Fans Forum

On the topic of Torquay old boys I see that Benyon was not Harts fvorite player and so may get a few more games under Di Canio?? If he becomes manager.

Also that Tim Sills has been released by Aldershot. When will they learn he is not League 2 material?!

Logan and Reid upfront would be quite a potent strikeforce, would love to see them down here together. (Probably at well over £1k per week though).

Paul Jones would be a pointless signing, I'd rather have Bevs and/or Potter. Definitely a step backwards if we signed him.

This Reid sounds alright. He's 6ft so whilst not tall in football terms it's not bad. He's only an inch shorter than Logan. He's young but still been around a fair bit, it seems maybe League One or Two is his level and he's been down here before so shouldn't be daunted by a move so far south. And he's out of contract.
Would I be right in thinking that although he is only 22 because he is not being offered a new contract the Bosman Rule does not apply? During the Muzzy debate I was sure I'd read that for the Bosman Rule to kick in an equal or improved contract had to be offered. Plus he's only been at Oldham since January so it's not as if they've had any major input in his development.
Logan has the experience though, and we do have a very young team. Also he'd hardly have to uproot his family but we'd have to pay.

I do love the times of transfer speculation.

*Had to check that I had the right rule, just because I'm not a football genius doesn't mean I want to make a total idiot of myself. *

stay =D away from the knife drawer Matt

NO thank you very much, he is a million years old and has done **** all except **** up my day at Plainmoor.

He is an alright Conference striker, he is NOT FL standard.

Matt.

Jack Midson has been released by Oxford. Doesn't seem to have done much since his hat-trick at Plainmoor but could be a useful addition to the squad. I'd much rather have Reuben Reid though.

I think it's on their transfer page on exeweb, think it's just a bit of hear say. He is under contract there so i'd say it's doubtful.

He is, but i think he'll be released this season. He's only backup this season and isn't really close to getting in ahead of Lewis (despite his ridiculous mistakes he makes sometimes ).

I'd love to see Reid back here, he was good first time round if i remember correctly, and he has a lot of raw ability.

That'll expire, he was only there as backup. I reckon Potter will go and maybe Bevan, although i'd keep the big man. Jones obviously won promotion from this league fairly local would probably fit into our wage structure, can just see it happening. I've got nothing to back it up other than a hunch.

Reading Exeweb they reckon Taylor might leave, and there is a rumour on there we might take Logan even though he's under contract i'd take both of them as well. All the others i'd imagine would stay there likes of Noble, Cureton etc.

Wouldn't be dissapointed with Reuben Reid, thought he was excellent when he was here before.

Doubtful. On loan at Peterborough isn't he? ^

I've got a feeling we might see Paul Jones here next season. Although his kicking is about on a par with Bevan

Jake who?!

Also notice that Reuben Reid was today released from Oldham - another player of questionable temprament but unquestionable quality. It might not be beyond the realms of possibility that he'd end up with us. Knows the area from his Argyle days, possibly even a friend of Zebs from the Argyle youth days?
