Torquay United Fans Forum

Looks like Season Tickets are selling well. Apparently close to our first couple of signings too.

I wish I had waited til after the Woking game as the odds went up to 33-1.

What a day! I haven’t been able to get to many games this season due to work but I’m so glad I was there today. Well done to GJ and the boys for an amazing achievement. This one will live long in the memory. On a personal note it’s a double celebration for me as I’m now £650 richer COYY.

Gus told a supporter at the game last night that he is signing for Barnsley. It's a big step up for him. But good luck to him. Let's hope we get a decent fee for him.

HT Stoke Gabriel 0 - 2 Torquay United. Both goals scored by Jamie Chamberlain one of which was a penalty.

Tyler Harvey would ge good signing. He rejected the contract he was offered at Plymouth, so maybe he thought his opportunities would be too limited if he stayed. He would be a cheaper option than Harrad.

I've heard a rumour that we are signing ex Plymouth winger Isaac Vassell. Since leaving Plymouth he has been playing for Truro where he has scored 20 goals in 40 apps over the last 2 seasons. I asked a friend who is a Truro Fan about him and he said he is very good player but has had an issue with a groin problem, hence why he has only played 40 games in 2 seasons. If we can keep him fit he could be a good addition to the squad.

I will be very disappointed if Nicho does decide to bring back Lathanial Rowe-Turner. I don't think he is the same player he was when we had him before and his career is on a downward spiral. Both of the teams he has played for in the National League over the last two seasons have been relegated (Alfreton and Kidderminster). He also spent the last few months of last season (when Kidderminsters form improved) on loan at Nuneaton where i have just read he conceded TWO penalties in one game!! Surely there must be better players out there that we could afford?

With there not being much transfer activity over the last 10 days or so i have been casting my eye over the retained list from all the league 2 clubs for potential targets. A number of players stood out. Admittedly some of these players may be out of our reach budget wise but i thought i would throw them out there anyway.

Sam Beasant (Goalkeeper) released by Cambridge United. Would be a good backup for Moore.
Troy Archibald-Henville (Defender) released by Carlisle United. Well known for his time at Exeter City. (Would be an Outstanding signing IMO)
Christian Ribeiro (Defender) as yet not offered a new contract at Exeter City. (Would be an Outstanding signing IMO)
Alan Goodall and Andy Parrish both experienced defenders released by Morecambe.
Matt Partridge and Scott Barrow both defenders released by Newport County.
Shaun Batt (Winger/Striker) Transfer listed by Barnet.
Ben Tomlinson (Striker) Transfer listed by Barnet. Had loan spells at Tranmere and Barrow last season.
Alex Nicholls (Striker/Winger) as yet not offered a new contract as Exeter City.

I think any of the above players would be very good signing at National league level especially Archibald-Henville and Ribeiro. I identified 4 potential Strikers that Nicho could be looking at earlier on in this thread and we ended up signing one of them. Would be more than happy for that to happen again this time.

Other Potential strikers that KN could be looking at are:

Jack Midson
Kaid Mohammed
Brett Williams
Jon Shaw

These players have all been released by their respective National League Clubs.

Clinton Morrison has signed for Redditch I believe. Deane Smalley would be a bit of a gamble as he has struggled with injuries in the last couple of seasons. Will Hoskins would be a good addition. Scott Rendell is out of contract at Woking and as much as I would love to see him come back I just don't think we could afford him. Jake Cole is also out of contract at Woking and would be a good option if Moore doesn't decide to return.

More good news.

Great News that Blissett has re-signed!! Not to disappointed that Ajala isn't staying as he has been poor since he came back. Butler next now please!

John Marquis has just been released by Millwall. I would love to see him back but I doubt we could afford him.
