Would there really be much benefit to the club in bringing on someone near the end of their career who has spent the last two years playing in League Two?

Fair point - but my first question would be is he better than Zac , Brent or Eddy. If yes then sign him before them. They've been told they are playing for a contract next year. That is an empty threat unless we look at other people. That does not mean that there is not someone as good or better that is younger that should be signed before him.

So, to my mind, signing him, would ideally be a decision on whether you'd prefer him over Eddy. The rest of them are young'uns and half the reason why we'd need someone like him, is that we'd get a Zwanny-type player in, who knows what he's doing, ideally playes well - by A-league standards - and can help mentor the younger guys. With a limited roster and a limited budget there doesn't seem to be much sense in having two guys at the end of their career in the CB position.
That sort of speaks to your comment too, rbakersmith... I don't see a problem with signing a guy who's moving towards the door - slowly. Especially not when we're trying to develop youth. We just have to keep in mind, how many of those players we actually have.

Whether he fits into the clubs plans is for the club to decide.
I realize that they are scouting for a new coach & may not want to sign anyone at this point.
I`m not looking to get anything out of this other than to help my team.
A simple reply, "yes we`re interested in having a chat" or "no we`re not interested" it`s that simple.
We`ve really struggled at CB all season & leaked goals like never before, one would think the management may have some interest due to his age & experience.

Well you don't need to ask if he's better than Brent anymore:

I think it was expected that Griffiths would not be renewed, wasn't it?

I saw Cansdell-Sherriff play last year, against Wimbledon; it was only when I read my programme that I realised he was playing. He didn't stand out. Griffiths look a better player IMO. Not that I am against veteran Aussies returning, every player should be allowed to prove themselves.

Depends what his youtube highlight reel looks like
Would prob be better to call and make sure info goes to the appropriate people. Just wouldn't trust an email to be treated seriously.
It does bring an interesting question. Do we wait for a new coach to sign players or will Wormly go ahead and make all the signings? Or at least important ones if they became available.

? ? is that deliberate BA? I can't remember what you think of Walmsley.
Roy Law

I would be disappointed if Walmsley made important signings; it should be the responsibility of the new coach, albeit with TW's input. And I don't know how much influence MC has on this stuff.

Being a defender it`s difficult to find youtube stuff on him but I managed to find this.

Holy moley, just one of those a year for us would make it worthwhile to sign him.

On Soccer Stoppage Time a couple of weeks ago Peter Storrie said it was important for community engagement that we get a marquee. Given that it is for community engagement - it means a real name - not a convenient way to pay your best player outside the cap.
How would the numbers stack up? I'm not great on income and expenditure of the club but realistically who can we get at the right price to add huge numbers to our gate, sponsorship and shirt sales and still afford and make a profit on after taking into account extra match day costs.
