Bumped into a Leafe fan on the bus on my way home from work and according to him we are interested in Alex Penfold who I think got released by leafe also we are interested in joshua cover ex tooting and was at whack'em and hurt them last season.
Again I will stress not confirmed just what was mentioned in a conversation

All speculation I know however Josh was an excellent player in our youth team a few years back but never made the transition to senior level - not with us anyway. Having said that though I know that Frank rated him highly when played for him in our reserves the season before last and Hamsey took him to Walton Casuals at the start of last season

Antonio Miguele, looking at Frank's post on Facebook

Is paul`s back problem sorted out now Gary, I was beginning to fear the worst for him, if he is OK, then he is a definite plus.
If what you are stating is correct, It sure looks promising, and news on JC leaving Walton.

Reading on facebook today I read that Frank Wilson has signed up Antoine Simeone, a player that he had at Tooting & Mitcham reserves when we had a reserve team. If its the same player that I think it is,then i think we are in for a torrid time in our defence. Good left foot but nothing else. Very slow

alanj · 15/6/2015 8:59 pm

As I said on here before, I watched a couple of reserve games at Imperial Fields, not only were the opposition very poor, but we were not exactly very good>
Is this the same Simeone who played in "La Liga"?

endofthelane · 16/6/2015 7:33 am

I think he may have played in a couple of cup games - away to Haringey and away to Frimley.

Tim Marcus · 16/6/2015 10:13 pm

Played a handful of pre-season friendlies for us in Craig's first season then reappeared midway through the season to play for Frank in the reserves. A bit short on pace however that was compensated for by his ability to read the game better than any defender I have seen play in the stripes for a while

Just read that Kerry Dixon has been sentenced to 9 months in chokey for assault.

Al my old mucker, this wouldn't be the same donkey who scored both Chelsea goals in The Blues epic 2-1 victory at Old Trafford in'86 with two sublime finishes would it ? A game you were most probably watching from the Stretford End !! To be fair, both goals were scored at the other end Check it out on YouTube....you'll be particularly impressed by the first finish.

That`s funny, my mind seems to draw a blank over that game buddy.

Sometimes the mind plays tricks on you as you get older.

I believe it's called ' Selective Memory ' Ashtree. A condition I periodically suffer from......for instance, the first FA Cup final I ever saw in the flesh was Chelsea v Man Utd at Wembley in 1994 but for the life of me I can't remember who won.

alanj · 19/6/2015 8:21 pm

Got me there too I am afraid buddy.

PS we must stop meeting like this! HH will talk, you know what he is like

The_Chezzer · 22/6/2015 10:00 am

On my monthly meet up with some fellow supporters from rival clubs in the wetherspoons I was informed by them that we are trying to sign Billy Crook now is this a load of cocktail and bull with them trying to pull my leg or is this a genuine attempt of signing him.
Also apparently the one Whyteleafe fan I meet up with is gutted with what seems to be a mass exodus there but are again in talks with a few of our ex players

Agreed Gaz, but only because a succesion of managers have failed to give Bondy his richly deserved chance between the sticks <- ( this is my straight face )

Wolfie Smith · 22/6/2015 12:20 pm

Apparently we are a s**t club according to Ceesay. His words not mine!

DeePee · 22/6/2015 5:47 pm

Here here Wolfie - wouldn't want him anywhere near us anymore ! Wouldn't have any confidence or "love" for him as a Tooting player whatsoever !

Alex Penfold, Greg Andrews (gutted) top player scored twice against us who I wanted at Tooting . Bentley Graham and Dylan Merchant have gone to Carshalton.
Sol Patterson is filling his dreams and coming to us... Sam Clayton is another good one but he is staying as he lives near the ground.
They have no funds to keep these players unfortunately. I am worried for them next season. But South Park and Causels always manage to stay up with no budget. So fingers crossed. Both clubs had leading top strikers last season.
I would not mind Ceesay in goal if Smudge wasn't fit. But Smudger is the best in the league for me..

Up to "...near the ground." this posting made some sense. Alex Penfold was released by us having lost his place in the team to Jordan Bird who we signed from Met Police. The others are basically Alex's mates. Greg was rarely getting starts at Whyteleafe and was obviously frustrated. Dylan played little more than half a season (first half) due to work commitments and Bentley, well he got left out from the play off match and quite possibly had the hump (he also lives in Carshalton).

Sol will never stay at the same club a whole season. You've really swallowed the "it's always been my dream to play for you" line?

I think we'll be stronger next season so no need to fear for us.

Lee Farmie · 30/6/2015 6:21 am

Suspect the player was told there was no more budget for him and got the wrong end of the stick!

Routemaster · 17/9/2015 8:15 am

Constantly hearing worthly praise and rightly so and calling the chappie man of the match in most of the games so far, I dare say those comments made on the subject, particularly quotes 32-36 regarding Mr Simeone have been very much answered. Maybe the chappie read the forum and thought, I say old chaps, that is rather below the belt, what, or F*** this, I'll show them, and he has.
May it continue!

If the management can't find a place for Jordan Cheadle in defence I would like to see him tried as an attacking midfielder for a couple of games as we still seem to be a bit short on goals.

evthedog · 17/9/2015 11:37 am

I hope always thought that his lethal left foot is wasted in defence and could be of a lot more use up and around the oppo's penalty area.

As I have already mentioned: for how long can you expect players to sit on the bench and never kicking a ball in competition before they up and go so that they can get a game? That's the problem with scrapping the reserve team: no competitive football for those not in the first team or in favour.

Andy Mc · 19/9/2015 8:56 am

Jordan is too good a player to be left out of the team. Why not try him left midfield, he might not be that quick, but nor was Beckham. That left foot could put some great balls into the danger area.

alanj · 19/9/2015 8:09 pm

I was hoping we might try that today "Andy" but no, he was on the bench again, even when we lost Sol Patterson I thought now is the time to give him another chance, but no the player who had been dropped came on instead, I would not blame JC if he said enough is enough, I find it hard to understand why he does not get a game, or is he another of "Craig`s" old squad that the manager wants to see leave? because that is the impression that Frank gives, first Dan, then Billy, I wonder who will be the next?
