🧵Sensible Transfers: #WorClub
Gateshead are a side I have a lot of time for; they play attractive, attacking football
Here are 5 signings based on YOUR suggestions
Remember to comment your team + 5 positions below 👇
GK: Tiernan Brooks
#Notts confirmed today they are looking for another senior keeper, so a full time loan for Brooks is needed
Brooks showed he is a confident keeper, a strong shot stopper and most crucially for the Heed, quality at playing out from the back. A wonderful fit
CB: Jack Bodenham
Gateshead need technically proficient defenders, and 23 year old Bodenham is certainly that. He plays plenty of passes out from the back and has strong technique due to his pedigree
Based in the North East and likely to be low cost, it makes sense
LWB: Reece Kendall
Playing his football just down the road at Spennymoor, Kendall handled the step up from Matlock brilliantly, suggesting he could do the same again
One of the most attacking full backs in the league, I believe he would be a perfect fit at LWB
CM: Ed Francis
Another #Notts shout in this list is a man who impressed during his loan there earlier this season
Francis is a quality technical footballer, and showed he fits the style Williamson wants to play. He’s already impressed there, and making it permanent makes sense
ST: Darius Osei
27 year old Osei hit double digits for South Shields this season, and I believe he is ready to step back up the divisions
Geography makes sense, and he’s used to a full time model, so would have no issues adapting there either. I believe he’d compliment them
CM: Callum Whelan
As was highlighted by @CallumTREFL, Whelan should really have been listed here, and really it was a toss up between him & Francis
As a result I’ve decided to include a special bonus 6th signing. Whelan was immense on loan; making it permanent just makes sense
