Craig Lindfield

Is Craig still with you guys?

He's on trial tonight for Carlisle in a reserve game at CP.

Hope everything works out for you. Still find it hard to understand why your previous regime let it get so bad though.

He was on loan to us from Liverpool at the end of last season and has since been released (contract ended by mutual consent).

Div3North · 09-09-2009, 14:49

Lots of us would like to sign him ...................

Carlisle have decided not to offer him a contract.

Would love have him back at Stanley, but with Bobby Grant looking much better as a striker rather than a winger (and the midfield also looking better with Turner and Joyce there as a result), we already have four players competing for two places. Can't see us signing him before Kee returns to Leicester even if the FA embargo is lifted.

Could we not offer non-contract terms to get over this embargo?

Forget answering that - apparently we can only have 20 players registered so no non-contract won't work as we would still have to register him.

Stanleymad · 16-09-2009, 18:16

So would mean we would have to get rid of some players in order to get someone else in?

VALAIRIAN · 16-09-2009, 18:27

That's right SM, need to look at loaning some out... Only way we will bring players in.

Stanleymad · 16-09-2009, 18:34

Thought so mm difficult decision then though i do think lindfield has proven useful to us, but at expense of another player shame we cant have 1 more lol

VALAIRIAN · 16-09-2009, 18:42

Problem is just as last season, players injured and not contributing...

true my thoughts are no room fer sentiment in stanleys situation.

I think if there was a way to get around the embargo and sign Lindfiled then Coley would've done it already. Wouldn't have been surprised to see Gary King jettisoned to make way for Craig, but I doubt we could afford any necessary pay off.

Surely you can register John Mullin as a coach and thus open an option for Lindfield to sign. If not we could remove a youth player such as Bevan Burey ?

As far as I know Bevan isn't with the club anymore. I don't think he was offered a contract.
We have twenty registered first team players in Martin, Dunbavin, Murphy, Edwards, Kempson, Winnard, King, Richardson, Lees, Ryan, Joyce, Procter, Turner, Miles, McConville, Mullin, Grant, Kee, Symes and King. One of those would have to be sacrificed to bring in any other player.
