New signings

[Reading Rebel]

I thought I'd start this thread in anticipation of this weeks expected plethora of new signings. 

[rebelbrewer]

But specific ones for returners, eg John Gilbert, David etc?

New signings and possible retainers like Oggy, Gilbs and Spasov.

5 signings to be announced over the weekend. The first of which is at 5pm this evening.

We certainly know how to build the tension and excitement

Tyrique Clark - midfielder from Poole Town. Sounds an interesting addition and according to the PR - adds something different to the midfield. 

[Reading Rebel]

This looks a decent signing.

Lives in London and left Poole due to the travelling.

I tend to judge a signing by supporters reaction and the Poole fans are pretty gutted.

There are some videos on the Poole site if anyone wants to have a look at him in action.

Good lad, great finisher although he's got a ban to serve for getting sent off in the play offs at Flackwell

41 goals for Flackwell Heath last season so knows where the net is.

If he can bring those goals to step 2 he'll be a great signing.

Welcome Wiktor.

Like Jake Tabor, worth a punt having scored a lot of goals at step 4 last season. Hopefully he can adapt to the big step up in quality and if he gets 15 he’s had a good season.

I notice that Maidenhead keeper Craig Ross has left the club, I wonder...............

Not sure why he'd move across town to the same level RV.

I think he'll be looking to stay at NL level.

He didn’t play in Maidenhead’s last six league matches, when an emergency loan goalkeeper called Sam Howes came in from Orient…… they then won 4 & drew 2 and only conceded 4 goals.

My hopes are pinned firmly on ex Hemel keeper Craig King who lives around the Hemel area.

He was injured

Next cab off the rank is Jaiden Drakes-Thomas. Young midfielder from Step 3. The pattern of signings thus far shows the age profile we are clearly going for. Need to get some more experience at the level as we go along IMO, but reports on all 3 signings thus far show tremendous upside, just need to hope they can hit the ground running and can get to the level quickly.

[Reading Rebel]

Our latest signing is 20 year old midfielder Jaiden Drakes-Thomas who last season commanded a regular place for Wingate & Finchley at step 3.

A player that Scott has seen play and has kept tabs on for a couple of seasons.

It's another midfielder which leads me to think that John Gilbert is probably not re signing for next season. 

Great to sign another talented young prospect but imo we're going to need a few more experienced players in the door for us to be competitive next season.

When I say experienced I mean players around the 25 to 30 mark who have played at step 2.
