CHERRIES are today expected to complete the signing of Brentford striker Alan Connell.
Connell is set to rejoin Cherries, coming in as a straight replacement for Bristol Rovers-bound Jo Kuffour.
It is understood Cherries have agreed a deal with Brentford for the 25-year-old, who made 54 appearances for the Dorset outfit between 2002 and 2005.
He is expected to link up with Kevin Bond's squad tomorrow and also undergo a medical. Connell is likely to be in contention to start against Port Vale on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Kuffour looks set to finally complete his move to Bristol Rovers later today.

Quality signing, especially under the circumstances! No one could say he won't play for the shirt!

Really not convinced Connell is the answer. He played when S. Fletch, Hayter and Holmes up front. Pitman and Sappleton will not provide him with the type of ball he likes. Since he left us, he has not played at any higher level than presently and why are clubs always willing to let him go? Not convinced but hope i am proven wrong

He left the club because he wasen't getting first team football with the likes of Hayter, Fletcher and Rodrigues in the side. I personally think with some people saying that a few players we have brought into the club this summer are not good enough and don't seem so interested in wearing our shirt with pride, you can be sure Connell will be doing just that. He's scored some goals in this league which is more that we're getting at the moment with the likes of Pitman and un-proven striker's Sappletton and that Craig Linfield. Hope this story is true, Common you reds.

This signing has got Blue square premier written all over it. In my eyes this is a step backwards and shows a lack of ambition from the board.

Well, here we go again!! Another poor quality signing!!!. The question is why did Hereford and Brentford release him????? After all both of these clubs played in League Two and he certainly did not make any kind of impact whatsoever with them!!
It's enough to drive anybody to a nervous breakdown!! Come back John Benson all is forgiven!! - Yes the John Benson era is once again upon us!!!
Exactly why have we signed him ???. Answer - because it is another cheap option and that he is a striker and that he was avialable!! It's makes me spew!!
I cannot believe some of the misguided reponses to my post yesterday!!. Can you people actually see what is happening at the club?? What I said yesterday is actually happening. I t is ther fir all to see. Why do you all seem to want to drift into denial and close your eyes to what in blatently in front of you???????????
At least there are one or two posters who actually can see my point of view.
One poor misguided individual stated that we have only played three games so what is the problem!!. Clearly he has not taken into account that we were 17 points behind when the season kicked off. So with the points ratio taken into account and the games we have already played we have in relaity played nine games with only two points gained!! Please tune yourselves in folks!!!
Regards

Before wingeing about Connell signing it might be a good idea to remember our circumstances . We are a skint league 2 side fresh out of admin and carrying a 17 point deficit . We have scored just 1 goal in 2 lge games & last seasons top scorer is on his way through the door as i key this . Connell might not be a world class player but then their not queing up to join us , are they ? One things for sure though he,ll put in twice the work of Pitman & more likely get double figures on the goal front !

He was a fans' favourite last time he played for us, mainly due to his workrate and potential. Why he hasn't fulfilled his potential is debatable. Maybe he will get a buzz from returning where he is welcomed (I hope!). God loves a trier and we need more of them!

I know we are all getting on the backs of Sport 6 but it has to be said so far its been a complete shambels, all they've had to offer us so far is a sponsorship deal with Cabrini, who actually seem to be sponsoring half the football league this season, signing a hand full of loan players and the highly lucrative 20/20 criket at DC, what a success that was. All in all a pretty poor show. Let me ask you all a question, if you had your own company, would you get sport 6 to arrange the marketing for you?? I rest my case.

Why did we not go in for Leon Knight? he is a very good striker I know he must be a bit of a trouble maker as a lot of clubs have got rid off him but still he is got to be better than Connel and he would have been a free transfer!

I cannot believe some of the misguided reponses to my post yesterday!!. Can you people actually see what is happening at the club?? What I said yesterday is actually happening. I t is ther fir all to see. Why do you all seem to want to drift into denial and close your eyes to what in blatently in front of you???????????
At least there are one or two posters who actually can see my point of view.
One poor misguided individual stated that we have only played three games so what is the problem!!. Clearly he has not taken into account that we were 17 points behind when the season kicked off. So with the points ratio taken into account and the games we have already played we have in relaity played nine games with only two points gained!! Please tune yourselves in folks!!!
Regards
Thank God you live in Lincoln!! How depressing are you?? What exactly is the point of your posts? We are a poor team and this league is probably our level. We will be paying off the past for years to come and we have no divine right to be any higher than we are. If all you can do is moan, why the hell do you post on here? GET BEHIND THE TEAM!!!! Even if we were playing in the Blue Square Premier, afcb are still my club and nowt will change that. UP THE CHERRIES!!!!!!!

great signing for me, he was good when he had time on the pitch for us. the bad thing is he wont get a touch when a rejoins coz of sappleton and pitman, they both cant run or shoot. hopefully he pulls the other two together

I can't believe how many losers there are on here complaning about signing Connell. What every1 needs to realise is were a small club, with sweet fa money, just come out of admin and -15 points. It's hardly going to attract any big names is it? It's a miracle we didnt lose more players over the summer. Connell was a good player for us first time around and I think he will be again. Plus anything is better than Pitman as a lone stiker!

Sure i read somewhere that Knight had gone to Rushden. Bit of a step down.
Brentford have not released Connell but he is unhappy as he can not get in the team but has been on the bench for most of the games. Says something when a goal scoring striker can not get into a team. You have to ask yourself why? Could be he is not good enough for Brentford. Is he good enough for Bournemouth?

I well remember Alan Connell's first game for AFCB when he was very well received by the supporters for his obvious enthusiasm and effort.
He was very unfortunate to pick up a serious injury which cost him his place, but I am quite sure he will wear the shirt with pride, if he signs for us, and may well be a revelation. Saw his wedding pictures in the Echo a short while ago which I believe may have been taken locally, so lets start by making him welcome and giving him the incentive to do well with his present team mates. Good Luck Alan.!!!

Pitman and connell will work well together. The manager needs to sort out a formation and style of play rather than keep changing around. How is brett or anyone else supposed to score loads of goals when he's played out of position at left midfield just so we can fit in 3 centre midfielders.
We need to move Anderton Wide, play 2 up front and get players to fit in around our style and formation rather than picking the players and then trying to sort out a formation to suit them.
Connell is hard working and will try hard and he and Brett as a pair could well get 30 goals but nobody in our squad is a lone front man, especially with the likes of igoe, marvin or danny as the main support players....and don't even get me started on big 'Ricky'...what is he supposed to be good at?

HAS not signed-might not sign is the latest twang on the Radio Solent, who are normally spot on.
We have had forwards in the past who have gone to other clubs and done well, Pitman for all your needless picking on him, might be a another. No one was worse than John Archer, Chris Weller. If you were not alive at the time ask someone in the know in your family. Pitman will be okay-just play him in the middle and at the end of the season you can say sorry-you were right-I was wrong

Alan Connell has done well at this level for Torquay, Hereford and Brentford and has more experience now than when he was here as a kid. I think it's a good signing if it happens, his manager at Brentford said in their local paper today that he's going nowhere. Would be a huge own goal for Sport 6 if it didn't happen now that they've announced it!

oh dear, there are more muppets posting to this list than i first thought! don't wanna hear a peep out of you when we are successful either. go find another club to slate.
unfortunately torres is unavailable, ronaldo is injured, and robinho is prob on his way to chelsea so the likes of connell will have to do us! i can see much more sense in making a permanent signing who has been successful with us in the past than corr for a month.
we may or may not need him depending on how the new lads get on once match fit and given a proper chance to impress.
at least we look a lot more solid at the back now, and the keeper signing is fantastic!
still laughing at those calling for leon knight....good grief!

We have gone from one striker to potentially five strikers in a fortnight and all of them but Kuffour are rubbish.
Its not quantity we need, its a target man who can lead the line. Connell is too lightweight.

What is the difference between a successful team and a relegated team?
A successful team at our level is one that generally uses less than twenty players in a season and has consistency of selection.
Relegated teams invariably use more than thirty players in a season with constant chopping and changing of players and positions.
After three games this season I leave it to you to decide which category we fall into......and that is before we even start thinking about the 17 point penalty.

Excellent signing. We shouldn't have let him go but he needed to play more regularly. He was very good when he first broke into our side, only curtailed by injury and then couldn't force Hayter and Fletch out of the team - most strikers at our level would have struggled with that task. Although he hasn't set the world alight since leaving it will be almost like a homecoming for him and he will be desparate to make up for lost time. Everyone needs to give him their total support and get off Pitman's back too - he's shown a lot of improvement and just needs to start finding the net a bit. Corr would be very useful if we can get him. He was sensational at Dean Court last year - the best performance I've seen by any striker here for a number of years. Things haven't gone too well since but alongside Connell we could have a strong front 2. The only negative is a lack of pace - has Wagstaff got any from midfield? Maybe 1 more loan or free on the other flank with a bit of pace could be called for.

Last season's late revival? Vokes [now we know how good he was for us], Gradel, so tricky and scoring goals and Danny. In 2 weeks time when he's fit we'll have 1 out of 3. Brett Pitman won't run, is afraid of the physicals and needs a front man to give him the Glory. Bench at best.We'll get Sappleton fit and he'll return to Leicester. We need a big front man and then Connell might just be OK. At least we got rid of Gowling - Mr 100% concentration - not!
Assuming Sport 6 have no dosh [most people seem to think that], the only way out is to get really organised and make the opposition struggle for everything. Is KB capable of that? If not it's Blue Square time and I'll be there. Talking to the Carlisle supporters [the very best]it's not all doom & gloom. Then there's Hereford, Aldershot, etc & Doncaster, albeit with their millions. If, however, Sport 6 are serious they must say goodbye to KB and take a punt with a hungry novice.
I'm not being negative. Someone with a pot of money is out there and we will come back. Keep the faith.

Quality if you ask me and played his heart out for us before and will do the same again.
For those who don't agree then let them but when he came on the first time for us he was a livewire and thats what we need. The likes of Hollands and Anderton giving him service I think we will do okay.
He plays for the badge and whoever plays for the badge will succeed.
Play 4-3-1-2 with Connell and Lingfield up front and Sappleton just behind and we will get goals. Forget 1 up front cos we are chasing points and go for it.

Alan Connell has done well at this level for Torquay, Hereford and Brentford and has more experience now than when he was here as a kid. I think it's a good signing if it happens, his manager at Brentford said in their local paper today that he's going nowhere. Would be a huge own goal for Sport 6 if it didn't happen now that they've announced it![/quote] Absolutely, Webby - I live 5 mins from Griffin Park and I've seen him play a few times for Brentford. I've been impressed, I must say. I think people on here will be pleasantly surprised - Alan's full of tricks and will prove to be a good addition to the team. Don't judge him too much on when he was here last as a kiddie. Too many people are too quick to slag off anything to do with the club at the moment. Here's an idea - let's just wait and see first before we start on the character assassinations shall we everybody??[/quote] Sounds about right to me, why so many can't wait to slag the club off over anything and everything is beyond me, he could well be a great signing for the club, it's about time people started to support the team, far too much negative stuff on here it's a disgrace!!!

Why did we not go in for Leon Knight? he is a very good striker I know he must be a bit of a trouble maker as a lot of clubs have got rid off him but still he is got to be better than Connel and he would have been a free transfer! [/quote] We couldn't afford his nose-candy bill...
