Yawn.
It's only funny when I do it.
Sounds like loads of clubs were after him.

Re: Dan Maguire signs!!
Any good shouts for alternatives then?
Boyes at Spenny - Not really realistic I imagine due to wages and need for a transfer fee.
Beesley at BPA - Also unlikely to be realistic, unless their budget is to be dramatically reduced.
Northern League - The next Glen Taylor would be nice. Any possibilities?

Craig Liddle is God!!
Re: Dan Maguire signs!!
I wouldn't be surprised if we look to youngsters released from the North East academies. AA said he knows pretty much all the Boro youth lads from his time coaching there.
Re: Dan Maguire signs!!
If we are to look into the Northern League, Mark Fitzpatrick of Dunston or Michael Sweet would be good picks!
Re: Dan Maguire signs!!
Fitzpatrick might do OK - or there's Craig Hutchinson from Billingham who've just won the second division - 42 goals last season (and 51 a couple of seasons ago). Not sure how old either of them are though?

Re: Dan Maguire signs!!
When I saw Michael Sweet last season (at Bishop) he didn't do much then got himself needlessly sent off!!

Re: Dan Maguire signs!!
Dominic Knowles would be my option - released by Harrogate and his scoring record at NLN level is phenomenal. May be a slight concern around his fitness though so would need to ensure his ankle is up to it - don’t want to end up with another Ainge. Not too dissimilar to Maguire so should fit into AA’s preferred style of play

Re: Dan Maguire signs!!
Rumours are that Knowles is off to Chorley
Re: Dan Maguire signs!!
Yeah I’ve heard that too

Re: Dan Maguire signs!!
We may just start with Ainge up front and see how it goes for a while?
Come on Darlo!

We will sign a striker, just a question of who really.MikeinBlack2 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 2:09 pmWe may just start with Ainge up front and see how it goes for a while?
Interested to see how Armstrong does on this front, he was given Maguire so an early challenge for him no how to get someone similar in his squad.

I think we all know how that one will turn out !MikeinBlack2 wrote:We may just start with Ainge up front and see how it goes for a while?

I would be quite happy for Amar Purewal to come back.
Re: Dan Maguire signs!!
York were one of a number of clubs said to be interested in freed Sunderland striker Connor Shields, 21. I think he wants to be full-time and there's interest from Scotland as well. Only ever played for the Under 23s at Sunderland.

Re: Dan Maguire signs!!
He wasn't out of his depth at all in the Evostik!
Maybe the NLN was a step too far but then again he only made a handful of appearances at this level after a long term injury, but when he played he didn't look too bad, and scored a couple.
Re: Dan Maguire signs!!
Saw Amar purwal play for west Auckland against Chertsey town in the fa vase last season he was marked out of the game - trust.me he is only a shadow of his former self and definitely not national League north standard.

Would I build the team around him? No.
Could be he a positive addition to the squad? Yes.

Re: Dan Maguire signs!!
Not really, it's always hard to tell when you have a new manager. Armstrong obviously fishes in the NE football pool but not sure they are any obvious candidates currently.QUAKERMAN2 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 3:25 pmAnyone you would fancy Les.super_les_mcjannet wrote:We will sign a striker, just a question of who really.MikeinBlack2 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 2:09 pmWe may just start with Ainge up front and see how it goes for a while?

I would like us to give a Northern League/Evostik lad a chance as a squad player, whilst finding someone else to lead the line who has a bit of experience if possible.
Re: Dan Maguire signs!!
Young lad called Luke Armstrong floating around who could be going out on loan?

Re: Dan Maguire signs!!
On the basis of one game. Hope you didn't see Harry Kane in the Champions League final.
Re: Dan Maguire signs!!
If we are saying that Amar who ended up 2nd in the goalscoring charts isn’t good enough then aren’t we saying that non in the NL would be good enough?
