Stuart Fleetwood

Not sure how much truth there is in this - but apparently we're one of 3 clubs in talks to sign Fleetwood, who is out of contract at Forest Green.

Had a text from sister's boyfriend who is usually pretty up to speed with all things non league (he supports Havant & W).  Apparently it was in the Non League paper today and was a direct quote from Mr Fleetwood himself!

Swansea and Charlton are the other 2 clubs.  Will see if I can find a link anywhere....

Ahh right maybe that rumour is true then. Someone else posted it on another forum. Interesting. Why would he choose us over them 2 teams though? They'll be playing at a higher level and offering a higher wage. I guess we're local though.

more realistic chance of first team football i'd guess. Think it was just a flash in the pan for him though, and two levels lower. he hardley set the world alight last season for hereford, looked average in the fa cup, and his goals have dried up a little second half of the season too.

is he the lad who scored against us?

yeah, he looked decent in that game, hes a bit like Van Nistelrooy in the fact he plays very much on the shoulder on the last defender, but has a bit of pace about him aswell, id be happy if we signed him

He's had one fantastic season at FGR - but he was ordinary at best in the FL with Hereford.

Would he be worth the risk? Blackburn was great at Conference level but was less than convincing in the 3rd tier.

Cheers - I couldn't find the article anywhere!!!

Hmm, I reckon if that's correct we would be in with a decent shout, as he wouldn't have to move, and with the current slump that will help, he'd also get more games with us, as well as not such a jump in quality so less pressure on him, seems like the logical choice to me!

[JPC82]

would he play much for us though?
it seems we will have the big man/small pacey combo

so will be Corr or Paynter with Cox or Fleetwood

Not sure I see the point in signing an unproven striker, unless one or two are moving out.

Fleetwood scored a lot of goals, but his performance against us didn't really impress me that much.  OK, I know you can't judge on one game.

To be honest though would you rather have Fleetwood or Sturrock?

fleetwood, but what fee we looking at?

[Bogus Dave]

blair. we know what we're getting with him, and i reckon blair would do pretty well in the conference himself

I'd say about 100k.
