Stickied Confirmed Signings 2023/24

[Blue Lion]

Steve Watson confirmed as our new assistant manager. Was helping Askey out towards the end of last season anyway so no real surprise.

That's good news. Our good run of form at the end of last season coincided with him being involved with the first team. Hopefully he can carry this on into next season to avoid a repeat of the terrible start we had last year.

 

[Moss Rose Silkmen]

Jim Green who is a writer for the Chester Chronicle stated that Steve Watson applied for the Chester job but was unsuccessful.

 

[Luke Imp]

He applied here, too.

 

[Blue Lion]

Not surprised to hear that. He sounds like an ambitious guy from what I've heard of him.

 

[WXM_XR3i]

Vidal started well for us, but he's rash and injury prone as we soon found out. Not sad to see the back of him to be honest.

 

[Railway Blue]

We've signed Walsall keeper Liam Roberts on loan for the season.

Pleased about that and hope he's not here to bench warm.

Jim Green, a Chester fan I believe, has now been appointed to the Community role that Jon McCarthy vacated to become manager.

 

[DarkSithLord]

We have signed Fabian Spiess as replacement for Matt Duke. Have a horrible feeling Its gonna be a long, hard season....

 

[Minstermen central]

Our best bit of business,got rid of Jake Hyde always injured and our highest wage rumoured to be on 75K a year,just need Oliver to leave too he isn't far behind,nearly half of Woking budget on 2 strikers

 

[Luke Imp]

Oliver will do ok down here.

 

[Minstermen central]

Oliver will do ok down here.

Be very surprised if it's here,will after make up wit McNamara and fans for lack of effort last season

 

[Chris FGR]

Guthrie to Colchester confirmed. Undisclosed fee, 2 year deal.

 

[StanLee]

Guthrie to Colchester confirmed. Undisclosed fee, 2 year deal.

I have 1 recollection of Kurtis Guthrie and it was about 3 years ago we played Accrington in a pre-season friendly. Ball came to Guthrie on the edge of his own box (defending a corner) and he did a Cruyff turn, lost the ball then gave away a penalty.

Hilarious it was! Good luck to him at Colchester.

 

[Railway Blue]

Full back Evan Horwood has signed for us. He played a game on loan about 10 years ago, a 5-0 defeat to Carlisle. The whole team was that bad that loan was terminated immediately after that game. I'm sure he's improved on that.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Forest Green have terminated the contract of Jon Parkin by mutual consent

 

[Luke Imp]

Sounds like Parkin wanted to go because FGR "agreed to terminate".

 

[Chris FGR]

Shame to see The Beast go, but with our new total footballing style he wasn't going to fit in to our system too well.

He's slowed down a bit but is still a quality player and a top lad. Hopefully he gets himself a good club.

Fairly solid leftback. Not that quick but he gets forward well enough. Got a little bit of skill for a leftback. Decent signing for a midtable side.

Ea£tl£igh or Barrow anyone????

 

[Moss Rose Silkmen]

We've signed Craig Ross. Goalkeeper most recently at Whitehawk.

 

[FrankTheTank]

Ea£tl£igh or Barrow anyone????

Perhaps York .. back home in Yorkshire for him?
But yeah Eastleigh most likely.

 

[slaphead]

We've signed Craig Ross. Goalkeeper most recently at Whitehawk.

Played for us last week against QPR and spent a lot of time training with us too last season. Decent keeper, though not sure he's ready to be a first choice yet.

 

[FGRJC]

Bye Jon

 

[GTFCfish]

Forest Green have terminated the contract of Jon Parkin by mutual consent

Greggs Nailsworth branch announce immediate staff cuts........

 

[Eastleigh Fan]

Perhaps York .. back home in Yorkshire for him?
But yeah Eastleigh most likely.

We desperately need a target man type, but i can't see him coming to us. He's hated by our fans for the goading he gave us in the league game up there. Scored a great goal that day for them and came straight to us with the verbals. Or maybe he wanted our veggie pies.

Forest Green sign striker Rhys Murphy from Oldham for a "nominal fee".

 

[FGRJC]

Forest Green sign striker Rhys Murphy from Oldham for a "nominal fee".

Very happy! Obviously the money from kurtis going and jons wages went straight to signing Murphy always used to sign him on football manager!

 

[PaulHaddock]

Andy Monkhouse signs for Alfreton.

Amazingly slow but a very intelligent player and dangerous in the box.

 

[Chris FGR]

Forest Green sign striker Rhys Murphy from Oldham for a "nominal fee".

Should score a few at this level I think. Scored 9 in 15 on loan at Crawley last season and having come through at Arsenal he should be decent technically.

 

[Woodworm]

Great signing FGR
