Disappointing, but not totally unexpected. I would think that this will just be the first of many over the next few days, as contracts end and pre-season starts.

At least things are coming to a head and JC will have a clearer idea of what he needs for the coming season.

Hope Phil's increased wages will support the bigger mortgage required down south - good luck to him, even tho he's missed the chance of getting nearer to Stanley leg end status. Wot were you thinking Phil ?!

Hi Guys, Torquay fan in peace here.

Heard via the rumour mill we are due to be signing Andy Parkinson today and wondered what you guys thought of him during his time with you?

Thanks in advance and good luck in the coming season.

Re: 7 Released
 

steady away but didn't light the world up for us if I'm honest. Did a job while he played but if he wasn't in the following team nobody thought owt of it. Good bloke though.

Re: 7 Released
 

Chris Turner is doing his pre season training with Barrow

Re: 7 Released
 

he will make a good impact sub, doesnt have the legs for a full 90 minutes nor does he make much of an impact if he starts a game.

decent league 2 squad player.

Re: 7 Released
 

Davo,you stated parky doesnt have the legs anymore?,what do you base this on?,was you at training every day?.
For your information,he was in the top three fittest players in the squad !!,I know i have mentioned this before,but i couldnt understand Coley not using him more,I can only presume his style of play didnt suit the system played,or he just couldnt dis-lodge the form players

Re: 7 Released
 

Not seen anything official but was told this morning he had signed

Re: 7 Released
 

I said he'd find his level.:)

Re: 7 Released
 

Absolute garbage gobblin.

Re: 7 Released
 

Thank you kind sir. Garbage it may be in your eyes, but it is my opinion and I'm entitled to express it - as indeed you are with your misguided comment about Rob Heys. However, I fail to see league clubs forming a queue for Turner's signature and, if indeed, he's signed for Barrow, I rest my case. I shall be watching his progress with interest.

Re: 7 Released
 

disagree gobbin, think turner will certainly develop into a league player, we shall see.

Re: 7 Released
 

I think you are both correct but coming from different angles.
Oldgobbin,hes already played at this level,so obviously, when on the top of his game he can again.
There lies the problem.Only Chris will know if he wants it badly,as the saying goes,you are only as good as your last game.
Its nearly two years since he was in a rich vein of form,and in my opinion,he should have gone out on loan(like Jon Bateson did),to get him going again.
I ve seen loads of players go down this avenue,talented lads,whos fire in there belly goes out,and they drift out into non-league.
Didnt Radcliffes goalie play at man utd?,another lad,rated as the next big thing at man utd was realeased by Altrincham recently!
You can blame everybody,but in the end its how bad the player wants it,and how he deals with other distractions that come a young lads way.

Another example - Ray Putterill !!

Re: 7 Released
 

Chris T hasnt signed as yet he is training with Barrow but a couple of other clubs have be in touch with him too
