Very interesting. Our team last season could have had a totally different look. I wonder if Rossi is working with Jack Savile in their scouting roles at Chelsea?Sam_BFC wrote:http://analyticsfc.co.uk/blog/2018/08/1 ... eague-two/
Interesting article from Rossi here, including details of players he tried to sign last year. To think what could have been...

Apparently Eames is scouting and coaching for Chelsea now in the Academy. We will never know who he tried to sign during the summer window but this gives us a little indication of who and what position he was trying to sign.

I was mascot for that Hartlepool game.Psycho wrote:I've never seen a Barnet player in better form than Lee Hodges over Easter 1996 - a hat-trick against Hartlepool at home and then all four goals at Rochdale. Just incredible on his day and one of our best ever ex-players.

Interesting that Rossi mentions he tried to sign Hiram Boeteng before Exeter pipped us to his signature. He would have been the ideal central midfielder. It's ironic that when Exeter brought him on as a 2nd half sub, that tactical switch changed the game and it would seem all of our fortunes for the rest of the season after what had been a promising start.
Boeteng played for Crystal Palace in the pre-season friendly against us, and he was a pain to play against that day. When Plymouth initially signed him on loan, I was thinking... why is it we don't get players like that?

Barnet showing all the flair of Rupert-the-Bears trousers, but lots more style!

Completely agree - however, knowing our luck with injuries last season, had we signed him, he'd quite likely have broken his leg or similar in his first match for us!ninestein wrote:Interesting that Rossi mentions he tried to sign Hiram Boeteng before Exeter pipped us to his signature.

Bolasie to Villa on loan.

Yannick Bolasie and Albert Adomah played together for Barnet in 2009-10 ... now reunited at Aston Villa.

Bondz N'Gala has joined Crawley.

I loved Bondz. Might pop along to see him this season as I live (too!) near.simmosenior wrote:Bondz N'Gala has joined Crawley.

Given our struggles at CB, why didn't we go for him!?
Re: Ex-Bees (2014 update)
He finally will get the opportunity to serve his 3 match ban from the Johnstone Paint Trophy days with us! ( showing under National League drop down)

There's quite a big chance that Albert Adomah, Yannick Bolasie and Jason Puncheon will all be playing for Middlesbrough come next week.
