Prospective Signings

[barrowscuba]

We need a big burly target man who does the ugly stuff & bulles the defence while he knocks the ball down for the other lads to burst the back of the net while bagging a few himself, is there any out there?

Mhatt Rhead.

Bring him home!

Lincoln won't release Rhead but it'll be a marquee signing. He's a real "beast"

[mickmike wilson]

I am confident that We are not signing Rhead.

The Beast at 6 ft 4 has been released by Forest Green.
Could Jon Parkin sign for us.34 but last 2 seasons top scorer for FGR.
Also had a lot league clubs comes from Barnsley originally.May do us a season

[Nigel Bamford]

I am confident that We are not signing Rhead.

Oh, hello, mickmike's been drinking with the chairman in the Cowboy bar

Is this the lad who's been trialling ? Seems to have impressed RC and sounds like he can play anywhere accross the back. Barrow might be a bit quiet after the above though ! The centere back who played today, Will de Havilland ex-Wednesday also sounded handy. Any comments ? Cox mentioned on RC that the 'marquee' striker hoping to sign early next week has not been involved so far. Toss up I think between Parkin and O'Connor as Rhead seems to have got his feet back under the Lincoln table.

I don't go today but looking at the photo in the article you posted and those in the NWEM write up it looks like the same lad.

From his last club, Stenhousemuir's website...

On the positive side though, we lost him from the squad because he has been offered a full-time contract down south.

An interview with Paul Cox was on radio Cumbria around 18:30 tonight, basically said what has been written in the mail report posted earlier regarding the trialists except he distanced himself from Leandro Martis. Mentioned that Andy Coughlin was in pole position to be the second keeper, Belezika was starting to look the part after starting to lose some of his excess baggage. Mellor still some way off where he wants him to be. Emile Sinclair and Euan Murray are the two he seemed keenest on, will post a link when it becomes available.

Leandro Martis is now on trial at Tranmere - were we not interested in signing him or was it just others were interested

[McMark]

Like I said Charlie Paul Cox sort of distanced himself from Martis in his radio interview. Only saw the first half but Will De Havilland looked an accomplished centre back.

I dread to think what wage Parkin would want

[Pedro]

Euan Murray is the same one in the article.Good to get him in we have had some good players from there.
I think Paul Cox is a good negotiater and if Parkin wants wants to much he will not sign him.
We seem to have a scouting structure unlike when Edmo was here.PC obviously more experienced,see Meeks took over BPA as Edmo has left. BPA in strife with finances.

Parkin got a pay off from FGR so his wage demands are less than what he was on there. It's quite refreshing if he simply wants to carry on playing at as high a level as he can. He isn't rumoured to have extortionate wage demands although it's likely he'll still be well paid but if he fits in with our wage structure then all well and good.

With his experience as a senior pro I wonder if he could combine playing with a coaching/backroom role as well.

Asked the question on RC post-match yesterday Cox simply said 'we're keeping an eye on him'. Apparently really impressed the fans in a 5-0 PSF win at Vauxhall yesterday,Cooky netting a hat-trick.

Parkin... ...He isn't rumoured to have extortionate wage demands although it's likely he'll still be well paid but if he fits in with our wage structure then all well and good.

Rumour on Chester forum says 4.5K a week, someone else thought he was on 2.5K.

2.5K would be under the 3K a week Mr Casson says we are not paying.
