2015/16 Squad

[Johnny Bud]

Rumours aren't good! Especially if the team that apparently want them is true!

[juanillo]

I would be alarmed if Tilt and Green were to leave. I was a little surprised with the new signings though I have to say that I have no idea about their qualities.
Asking a forward from midland combination div 1 to step up is a big ask for him, a bit like someone from Braintree or Dover signing for Albion or Villa.

[JohnC]

Halesowen Town have a good home crowd number, and superb away following and a proper football ground.

John Hill has signed two strikers from a higher level, two younger players a striker and midfielder.

Unless the move is to a higher division (think how the whole team found it hard for the first 10 games of the season) the only other reason to move would be cash.

There is more to life than cash.

Hope the rumours are unfounded and they stay at the Yeltz.

Tilt and Green would be a massive loss

[wednesburystokie]

Can't see the Club even considering putting the statement out it has unless these rumours are have a lot of substance.

[RobYeltz]

I like all three players and between them they played well over 300 games for the club - a great achievement. They've all been honoured by the management, chairman and fans in the last two seasons for their efforts and have been an integral part of the clubs move forwards. I like all three of them as people, they've always got time to speak to the fans and I've very much had the feeling they themselves can see the way the club is moving forwards. However, I suppose every player wants to test themselves and progress as high as they can in the game. The surprising thing for me is the timing. John Hill has just bought in two new strikers with great pedigree and two young players with ambitions to improve I'm sure - just like them when they came to Halesowen I suppose. Why would they not want to be part of the future? I guess only the players themselves can answer that.

Whatever they choose to do, I'm sure they'll acknowledge that each of them have improved massively under the management and coaching of John Hill, Kev Barry and Trevor Burroughs and know how fondly us as fans regard them. I'd love for them to stay and help the club to continue to improve as I'm confident that John Hill would improve them further as players. They had one season in the NPL which is great experience. They are very good players no doubt, but still have elements of their game that could still be improved, who better to do that than the bloke who has managed them for the last 2/3 years?

As is always the case in situations like this, the players will always do what is best for them but we also need to remember that no one player (or in this case 3 players) are never bigger than the club. We wish them well in their choices, lets hope their choice is to remain Yeltzmen, and they help us to challenge for the title and maybe an FA Cup run next season. Come lads... you won't regret it!

I was going to say "you'd better f*ckin' stay" as well.

[yeltz85]

Fordy joins Sutton Coldfield.

From what I have heard, could get very hot headed.

[RaidenYeltz]

I can't be the only one worried that two local sides, who finished bellow us, are taking our players. Not just squad players but first team.

I respect and understand money talks, but it's still worrying nonetheless.

[yeltz85]

Matthew Sargeant, Joe Hull, Aaron Griffiths, Asa Charlton and Danny Bragoli all re-sign for 2015/16.
