I hear Ricky Miller is out of contract at Boston. Worth a punt?

Any of this lot any good?

THE TORQUAY UNITED CAR BOOT SALE

Roll up, roll up!

Is your team looking for an experienced (but crap) right back? Or what about a striker who comes with a fantastic beard (and a broken arm)? If so, look no further than TQ1!

For sale we have...

Dale Tonge - Experienced right back. Played loads of times for Rotherham and came to us with fairly high expectations. Turned out to be absolutely terrible. But he's got a lot of experience so whoever needs an experienced pro as part of their defence then look no further!

Karl Hawley - The once excellent striker who bagged lots of goals for Carlisle is the next player up for grabs! Another part of Alan Knill's 2013 transfer window masterclass, this guy. Scored 3 goals for us in about 30 odd appearances, and ended the season on the treatment table with a broken arm. What more do you want?!

Ben Harding - I'm actually a bit surprised at this one. He's won this division before with Aldershot, yet has been naff for us, to be honest. If you want a fancy-dan centre midfielder who might occasionally win a header or pick out a nice hollywood pass, this is your man!

Shaun Cooper - ***MYSTERY PLAYER*** Signed in January - never ever featured for us. I genuinely have no clue what sort of player he is, but he could be exactly the player your team needs!

Elliot Benyon - Bags of energy, this one. Unfortunately he can often be like Bambi (spends more time on the floor than on his feet). Doesn't know the offside rule. However, if the ball is in the penalty area at his feet, there is a possibility that he might find the onion bag. Probably not though.

Nathan Craig - Genuinely this guy is a good passer and he has a wicked delivery. Unfortunately he struggles on the physical side. Think more of a Xavi than a Lee Cattermole. Also struggles in a two-man midfield. Wants a move back near North Wales.

Aaron Downes - Came to us and instantly became a cult figure for fans. However he was poor last season as we struggled, and Hargreaves wants rid. Current holder of 'the longest header of the season' award.

Jordan Chapell - Another surprise. Fast, skilful. Unfortunately he can't really cross a ball to save his life. Wants to move back to Sheffield. Still young though so this is the one I think we will get rid of, somewhere.

Take your pick, ladies!

These are his stats for the 2013/2014 season. Total goals 28.


Ricky Miller

Age 25, Striker


Previous Clubs:
Hitchin Town, Rothwell Town, Spalding United, Stamford AFC, St Ives Town, Arlesey Town, Corby Town.

Biography:
Striker Ricky Miller rejoined Boston United for a second spell in June 2013. He had netted six goals in 12 appearances for the Pilgrims during the second half of the 2008-2009 campaign as United battled relegation from the UniBond Premier League. His hat-trick against Prescot Cables and last minute winner at Hednesford Town were key elements in United beating the drop. He was allowed to move on that summer as new bosses Rob Scott and Paul Hurst put their stamp on the squad and he continued his career with the likes of Stamford AFC, for whom he netted the winning goal in their May 2013 Evo-Stik Division One South play-off final victory over Chasetown.

I expect we'll be linked with Dale Tonge with him being ex-Rotherham and us possibly needing a right back, whether we'll sign him or not I don't know!

We've got Bignot and Walker, so i don't think we'll sign another RB?

I'm bored and there's still so long to wait until August.

So what about that Johan Ter Horst kid that Hull City Tigers signed? A Season at a high end skrill premier club could be a good "next step" in his football education.

Thoughts?

I'll be honest all i know is that he's scored a bag load of goals and at least 3 PL clubs were interested in him so he must have something about him.

Probably not, but unless Bignot improves I wouldn't say he's the attacking right back we need (not that Tonge necessarily is either).
