Torpoint make double swoop

[Wink McAndrew]

Heard today Curtis and Edwards are about to sign Bill Allen and Jimmy Alexander??? Anyone else heard this or is it just another rumour?

[tricky ricky]

2 good midfeilders there good sighings if its true

[Abbots Way]

Where's Torpoint getting there money from cause I know these 2 don't come cheap

[The real slim shaddy]

Billy was a done deal about a week ago & could see jimmy Alexander going as well. Could stretch there £250 a game budget tho!! How about Hobbs? Lol

[Ian Pethick]

Jimmy Alexander will fill the vacant spot in the side for a player who sits within a 1 metre square space in midfield passing the ball sideways and contributing very little else .

Step down for Billy Allen in my opinion .Guess he wants a guaranteed starting spot,which he wasn't getting at Parkway .

[Milky]

In my opinion 2 great signings for torpoint

[secret-scout]

^{Having watched Torpoin this season and from their results you can see that they are lacking a goalscorer and need some tightening up at the back, not sure how either player would do that......}

[The Train]

You need center midfielders that are going to control a game for a start. Which these to can bring to a team, there not scared to show for the ball and get the play going which will go a very long way to this current Torpoint side, so long as they can convince wannabe center midfielder Shane White to drop back to where he is actually a good player and help his team out.

[Milky]

Surely now Shane white will be centre half , which will make a huge difference at the back ! Both new signings use the ball well and can create chances , with Thornton and hicks on the wings things are looking better at the mill

[gemini]

dont think the two lads named are an improvement on what torpoint have in the middle, both current midfielders do a decent job,, having watched torpoint quite a lot i'm shocked to hear that players play where they want not where the manager tells them (shane white)

, for me torpoints woes are simply lack of goals. in recent games torpoint have created loads of chances but failed to find the net. torpoint need a striker or two, ( for free if the budgetmongers on this site are to be believed)

[secret-scout]

I agree Gemini. Also, something at the back may not hurt either, if you aren't scoring then preventing goals is the next best thing, i think 9 goals conceded in 5 games isnt a good record. Maybe they need someone like Chris Menhennick.......

[acrossthewater]

chris menhennick has been and gone already this year.stayed at point for about a week before joining tavi.

shane white is points ideal player to play at the back.He played there when he was at point last season? if not the season before.

I dont even know who plays upfront? stacey when he not injured but who else?

isnt lewis kershaw stepped up from seconds. surely he will score a few for them???

[secret-scout]

I knew about Chris (sarcasm) i think everyone did.

From what i have seen they've got Paul Barker or Baker playing up top with the young lad kershaw but not entirely sure lewis is good enough at that level. I think they have got some good players and the management are always preaching from the lines to play good football, so maybe it's a matter of time before it all clicks for them. Who knows, but tomorrow will be a tough test for them.

[Robbie Box]

Getting back to the topic just been given the heads up that both Alexander and Allen have signed and are in the squad for tomorrows game at the mill against St Austall

[Milky]

Torpoint were really unlucky today , outplayed st Austell for much of the game !! Jimmy Alexander and billy Allen were outstanding in the middle but torpoint missed lots of chances which cost them the 3 points in the end

[tricky ricky]

missing chances not a problem when your not creating then theres a problem torpoint need a £70 a game striker 1 will be available soon give it another 4 weeks lol

What game were you watching...?

Think the St.Austell keeper had about 2 saves to make all game.

St.Austell are lacking going forward, but looked fairly comfortable at the back today.

Not sure what the Torpoint captain is called up front, but from what I saw today, he was not only a terrible footballer but an absolute disgrace. Stamping, leaving a foot in on tackles and SPITTING. What an excellent example to be setting as a captain of a football team...

[The real slim shaddy]

1's available now. Look @ mount Gould in the p&d league ;-)

[P&d mourhino]
