Jonte Smith signed?

[Foley]

I imagine lower league contracts come with a lot more flexibility than the ones at pro level. Oxford City in the NLS frequently see players come and go - often due to players having to move for work and the like.

I would hope all the ‘t’s’ have been crossed and ‘i’s’ dotted. We don’t want another Jennison Myrie-Williams situation arising.

I think that you are right. Lower league contracts at the level he has come from are very different from FL contracts.

It begs the question, can we have Ivo Pekalski sign a lower league contract?!

 

[Marked Ox]

Agree about the movement and speed of thought...….Jarrow roofing springs to mind. Pace is the killer. Maybe, just maybe, it will work out. The fans deserve it.

Tbf to the lad from Jarrow Roofing I bet he still had a better strike rate than Obika.

 

[Whingit]

I must be one of the few to see John Campbell score for us. James Roberts scored a screamer that day.

 

[holdsteady]

The two new lads are not following in the footsteps of giants considering they are replacing Obika and Smith, so at least that’s a pressure gone.

Sadly if they score two goals between them they will have doubled the return of there predecessors this season.

Intrigued to see them both play.

Matt Murphy
Garry Smart
Malcolm Shotton

Shotton came with a mate, a full back, can't remember name?

Tim Smithers

 

[Yellows1]

yep - what a day that was (outside as well as in)

Greaves's last hurrah cos didn't he f**k off to Wolves shortly after & we got dicked by Cov in the next round (although another fun day)

That was a lively day at Coventry, Higjfield Road lol

 

[amershamdave]

I was at that game at Coventry. Brian Moore reckoned Burton made the save of the season that day. Oh yes......and all those seats being ripped up and lobbed onto the pitch. We got banned for life, or ten years or something if I remember.

 

[makv]

Ok...a "wow!" signing in a different sense. Presumably he's very cheap on the salary front, but all the very best to him...kind of a more exciting proposition than Sinclair.

And he’s our player

Did a dog run onto the pitch to retrieve the seats?

I imagine, given that this deal was completed after the deadline, and after a trial, that he was signed because the main target went elsewhere. Although the Lewes Chair being uncontactable may be on alternative reason.

Obviously, there was interest in Smith, but Sinclair was expected to be the second signing... So Smith was offered a deal very late when the main target failed to sign.

Perhaps, we can say that the club had a backup plan?

I hope he works hard and does well. If he's an attitude like Roofe, he could be a great success.

 

[Winchesterox]

Now can someone please clarify, is it pronounced Jontee or Jontay?

 

[chuckbert]

Or Spanish: khontay ))

 

[derek]

Nick will know

 

[dabigfella]

On reflection wouldn't be surprised if Smith turned out to be a better buy than Sinclair.

Exactly what I said on another thread. I'm really excited by the Jonte singing.

Is he Bass or Alto?

 

[Bigfella72]

Thought we had got the antiques bloke off bargain hunt but wrong Jonte
Hope he can push on and be a great success for us

He is local, Dorchester I think?

Umm …. a bit of jiggery pokerry here, Just hope all the paperwork is correct and compliant. Surely, nothing could go wrong?
