CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 18 August, 2009 Share Posted 18 August, 2009 This is a done deal according to the Colchester Chairman , who appears to be having a rather busy day . http://www.eveningstar.co.uk/content/eveningstar/sport/general/story.aspx?brand=ESTOnline&category=Sport&tBrand=ESTOnline&tCategory=xDefault&itemid=IPED18%20Aug%202009%2016%3A44%3A50%3A557 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Martini Posted 18 August, 2009 Share Posted 18 August, 2009 Steve Claridge seemed to rate him a couple of years ago: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2007/sep/25/newsstory.brighton Sounds ideal. This is the part that I liked best: His team-mates trust him with the ball even in tight areas and so they should because he has got a fantastic first touch and his retention of the ball is excellent. Defensively, too, he is spot-on, which is a real plus, and in fact when defending at corners he marked one of Yeovil Town's biggest players, Scott Guyett, matched him then mastered his aerial ability. He was just as impressive defending at free-kicks - when the ball was cleared he did not rush out before the danger had passed, like I used to do, but stayed with his man. During this game his patience and concentration were rewarded when the ball was lobbed back in and his challenge on the player he had been marking saved a certain goal.

Bailey Posted 18 August, 2009 Share Posted 18 August, 2009 (edited) Hammond sounds like a good player. I've just spoken to a Brighton supporting mate and he rates him. He said that he could definitely do a job in the CCC and at 400K we've got a real bargain. Hopefully Hammond's imminent arrival will result in Wotton being dropped to the bench, but I can't help but feel slightly sorry for Gillett. He must be scratching his head and wondering why he can't get in the team. He was a regular for us last season and was one of the few positives to take from an otherwise miserable campaign.

SuperSAINT Posted 18 August, 2009 Share Posted 18 August, 2009 Sounds like a good player, exactly what we need. Now we must get a right-midfielder, a centre-back and a striker to replace Saga and Rasiak if/when they go. Surely TWO strikers are needed if they go? We can't just have Lambert & Patterson leading the line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinhk Posted 19 August, 2009 Share Posted 19 August, 2009 This is exactly what we need to be doing - buying the best players from this league. They should fall within our budget and be should also be good enough for the league above. Given that players always score against their previous club I suggest we buy one player from each of our rivals and then go for 1-0 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
