Appears to be guesswork on their part, although possible.

In otherwords you're guessing. Would be delighted if he did turn up at Nene Park.
Why would he say 'fact' and then be guessing? :roll:

It's like me saying:

It's a fact we're signing Ashikodi. He's a striker and a natural goalscorer at this level. He's also available for free.

He's basing his reasoning on the player fitting a description, rather than anything concrete. If Downsie has heard talk, fair enough, but why not say (doesn't have to quote the source if they wish to remain unknown)?

To me it just looks like the only fact he's based it on the fact he's scored 20 goals in a lower league.

What makes you think we're after him, Downsie?

Just had a look at Bishop Stortford's squad, there are a lot of ex-Diamonds in there. Ben Nunn, Roy Essandoh, Nicky Ayre, Ashley Nicholls.

And also that he had a bust up with the club heirachy over not allowing him to talk to a conference national club about a transfer, to which Chelmsford pulled his bluff and released him anyway! I heard from someone at the club that JE had offered Holmes a contract after his controversial release from Chelmsford, happy?! :roll:

Ricky Holmes last season. Looks a decent prospect.

Apparantly Crawley, AFC Wimbledon and Southend are interested.

Looks good from the video....



(however after experiencing euphoria over a youtube vid with Sebastian Sorsa and Felipe Da Costa at Leeds and them never playing a game I think I'll wait and see ;) )

You could have 140 years of no achievement, or twenty years of glorious victories, you decide.
