Barnet Duo Rumoured As Nervous Shots Stars Wait

Terry Brown has told the Aldershot News that he will speak to each individual member of his squad this week to discuss their futures with many in danger of being chosen to make way for the new arrivals.

Brown said: “We need to bring in at least seven or eight players and reinforce the squad right down the middle. We need centre halves, centre midfielders and centre forwards.

“We have been casting our net as far as possible, looking at players at clubs above us, in the conference and also below us. I am hoping that the majority of those deals will be done in May.

“I am having talks this week with everyone in my squad and some will be going and some will be staying.

“We need to make room for a for seven or eight new players, so that should tell you how many will be leaving.”

The boss also refused to rule out moves for Barnet stars Giuliano Grazioli and Ben Strevens after strong transfer speculation linking him to the pair.

“I have been looking at Barnet over the last few weeks, both at the senior squad and the reserves, and there are a number of players that would interest me if Paul [Fairclough] decides to release them,” Brown added.

“Barnet won our league last year so we are looking at one or two players there to come in and strengthen our squad. Overall, I am hoping to bring in a mix of experience and some hungry, quality youngsters.”

After such a disappointing campaign, not many of the Shots squad will feel confident they will be at the club next season, with only Nikki Bull, Ryan Scott and Ryan Williams with contracts in hand.

Brown has a long, hard summer ahead trying to put right the wrongs of last season, while building a side capable of making a challenge for the title.

With thanks to the Aldershot News.
