I see Grimsby Chairman Fenty has said he would not sell Alan Connell to a rival club, and that he guarantees that he will not be a Luton player this season. I for one am less than bothered at the prospect.
I don't know why our manager is even thinking about signing Connell. He has had one decent season at the age of 28. His stats (0.25 goals per game)are much worse than Matthew Barnes-Homer's (0.31) and he (MBH) gets the boo boys on his back constantly for not scoring enough and many would like to see him sold. MBH was signed in similar circumstances when he had his one hit wonder season at Kidderminster of 34 goals against Connell's 29 in his and he arrived on a free. There is no guarantee that Connell will repeat that effort just as MBH hasn't. I'd much rather see us go for someone who is more consistent over a few seasons. Therefore £50K is probably about right for Connell. Tops! We have signed better and not even played them in the side on a regular basis.
We have enough quality in the team already to win this league if the manager decides on his best team and plays it regularly instead of chopping and changing all the time. All our previously successful campaigns have been based on a good spine to the team: Keeper, Central defender hard tackling central midfielder and tall physical striker and a settled team. Add to that some speed and delivery from the wings and a midfield playmaker and half decent support striker, central defender and full backs and it is a winning combination. Simples! :-) If we can't do that on the highest gates in the division then we deserve to stay where we are!
