James Smith

[David Holden]

Could be here soon according to Matthew Panting.

Smashing. I hope this comes off. If we are getting good talent, then I do not paying £2 extra to watch a game.

[Jimmy]

No doubt JgFc is working himself up into a rabid frenzy as we speak.

Probably wearing his "Powell 10" shirt.

[mikefleet]

when i saw the title and who this thread was from i thought we had signed him, maybe soon hopefully.

[Riverview Red]

Why on earth are we still signing lower division players !!!! ????

 

One or two maybe but surely we can recruit some better quality players ..... and has anyone told our manager that he can sign players from clubs other than Welling ?

[Bloodnock]

OK good point, but if these two Welling players (Slatter & Smith) are as highly regarded as it would appear then why does it matter what division they were playing in ? providing Daish feels they are better than what we already have.

Certainly as regards Smith, it appears that Ade Pennock is very reluctant to lose him.

Also harking back to Andy Ford, look at the gems he found in the lower leagues, but I also agree that we should also be looking higher up the league ladder as there are a considerable quantity of players out there looking for a contract.

There is also the obvious thought that some higher league players may feel it beneath them to come down to the Conference, i'm sure that attitude is still rife,so there is something to be said for a young up and coming star from a lower league eager to prove himself.

James Smith is an excellent young talent, I’m sure he will go from strength to strength whatever side he plays for next season.

 

Even though he was our "Bad Boy" last season with 2 Red Cards all he needs is a little more experience. I’m sure well see Football League clubs sniffing about soon enough…

Tonight's edition of The Gravesend Messenger says Welling have accepted a third increased offer (no figure but above the previously offered £2,000), and Welling have accepted.

 

All down to agreeing terms it seems.

The Reporter back page headlines on the Smith saga today are

 

'Sell on Snag and 'Daish losing patience as Wings stall on Smith move'

[Alan W (GNFC)]

Certainly not fans of ours !

[Stu M]

Aside from the couple of decent fans that have come on here, they really are the most miserable begrudging bunch of whingers. We sign two of their better players, they get half a dozen of ours, and they seem to hate us with a passion... merely because we're Conference and therefore 'arrogant'.

 

Get over it Welling.

[David Holden]

I love the way they talk about their 13 years in the conference conveniently forgetting that they avoided relegation three times on various technicalities.

[Jimmy]

It must be that ever so succesful season they had last year that makes them get these delusions of grandeur.

Anyone can stay in the Conference by making up new rules.

At least we won't play them in the Conference any time soon.
