A striker that can also play on the wing, looks a real coup. If this is a sign of things to come, then I am very excited.

Doesn't appear to have played as much this season, so I hope he's fit enough. But yes, could be a quality signing.

A lot of the replies on twitter from Barnet fans are filling me with a lot of confidence. Generally saying he was a cut above in the league above, he'll run riot in this league, and that none of them wanted him to leave.

Looks a very good signing if he still has the hunger to play one step down. His full playing record here:

From what I read on the Barnet forum he is also involved in coaching so fits the profile that Mel outlined a couple of months ago. More of an attacking winger than CF.

According to club twitter, new signing to be unveiled at 6pm.
Why reveal at six why not NOW???
MK
Because its not 6pm.
That's not how Arsenal break news of signing players when they sign someone they announce it straight away!

My guess would be, because Arsenal know that - being a Premier League social media giant - people will go to their Twitter account and find stuff immediately anyway. Arsenal et al can post whenever they want and huge media outlets will pick it up and amplify the announcement immediately.
Hampton, being a National League South club, will need to signpost an announcement if they want it to get attention. That way people will log on at that time to check and be more likely to engage with the announcement than if they stumble across it a day later.
Hope that helps with your permanent outrage.

Looks a good signing. Mel obviously knows him from Barnet. Don’t think recruitment will end here , expecting some strikers, hopefully of a similar standard plus defender and midfield?

I think we now have 13 players signed on for next season. I am sure we will continue to recruit, another keeper, depending on Fernandez situation, one or two central defenders, maybe one more midfield and three strikers?
What would others have on their list?
