Stuart Fleetwood

[DV]

sam parkin please

id have Parkin back aswell, but refering to my previous post Malpas like the big man/small man combo, so Parkin would be a replacement for Corr or Paynter, whilst Fleetwood would be a replacement for Blair

I think Parkin is talented enough to play big man or the little man role in a strike force.

I mean who out of Mooney and Parkin was the big target man and who was the one to run off....?

Same with Fallon

dan I'm not disagreeing really, I'm basis g the signings on malpas wanting the big man/small man, as u say parkin mooney was very effective, malpas wants to go a different way by what he has said in previous interviews

But we have spoken to him...

CHARLTON are set to table a bid for Forest Green goal ace Stuart Fleetwood.

Charlton assistant manager Phil Parkinson watched Fleetwood in Rovers' FA Cup victory over Rotherham and the Gazette understands a bid will be made this week.

The 22-year-old helped himself to 36 goals last season. He rejected a £175,000 January move to Crewe Alexandra to try and help Forest Green to the play-offs.

advertisementFleetwood, who won the Young Player of the Year award at the Carlsberg/Non League Paper National Game Awards, has gone on holiday for a fortnight to think over his next move.

Fleetwood said: "I have already spoken to Charlton, Swansea and Swindon but I won't be making any decisions until I get back from my holiday."

Meanwhile, Forest Green chairman Colin Gardner revealed no official offer has been tendered.

He said: "An offer will be needed to be made in writing to the board.

"If we accept the offer then Stuart's transfer will go through- if not it will go to an FA tribunal."

Meanwhile, former Forest Green defender Chris Giles has agreed terms with Blue Square Premier rivals Crawley Town.

The 26-year-old centre-back will begin his second spell at the Broadfield Stadium.

Giles was released by Jim Harvey at the end of the season. The popular defender. expressed his shock following his release.

Giles scored five goals in 41 appearances last season, including a memorable header in the FA Cup first round replay victory at Rotherham.

Crawley boss Steve Evans told the official Crawley Town website: "Big Chris Giles is a top class defender who was outstanding every time I watched him last season.

He defends as if his life depended on it, sticks his head on the ball in both boxes and you cannot ask anymore."

Chester seem to think they are in with a shout as well: -

Chester linked with move for Fleetwood
CHESTER were today being linked with striker Stuart Fleetwood.
The 22-year-old prolific goalscorer was attracting interest from three clubs after turning down a new contract from Conference club Forest Green Rovers.

Brentford and Exeter City as well as Chester were reportedly being linked with the striker who joined Forest Green Rovers 12 months ago and hit 27 goals in the Blue Square Premier League last season.

Chester owner, Stephen Vaughan, said: "We are aware of Fleetwood's availability and obviously a player with his ability would enhance our squad.

"The player's agent has had discussions with a number of clubs but at this stage it would be premature to reveal whether we will pursue the matter."

Fleetwood, who is currently a free agent, has been capped by Wales Under 21s and started his career at Cardiff City before moving to Hereford United in 2006.
