There's a surprise. ;)

Decent enough midfield player, not convinced he is more than conference level though. Scores a few goals from midfield.

Never heard of him. Though looks like he has been part of a successful Grays team over the last couple of years and was in the Rochale team who had a great run at the end of the season. Just hope he isn't another Chris Moore with his age being 26.

From the Grays FC site

"DOB 03/02/81 - Midfielder, born in Essex, Glenn was previously with Yeovil Town before joining Ford United / Redbridge, signed from Thurrock FC on 24 July 2005.currently on loan with Rochdale until the end of the season"

and a piccy !
 

Glenn Poole

Judging by the way he's got his hand in his pocket in the photo on the club website, he's excited about coming to Brentford.

He only started one game for Rochdale.

By more info..I meant why TB and AS have plumped for him considering there are many players out there, whats so special with this one ?? :confused:

I think its you.

Amazing how we have three threads about exactly the same subject!!

Welcome Glenn and have you ever played in goal because at the mo we need someone useful between the sticks
 

Glenn Poole

Under 30 years of age and therefore meets one GPG criteria for a 2 year contract!.:sorted:

I wonder which team he supports? :fishing:
 

Glenn Poole

Duplicate thread here.

Kill the f**kers.;)

Glenn Poole

two year contract for a lower league footballer is a bit of a gamble....i hope it pays off
 

Glenn Poole

Nice to see Gary Phillips is still involved in football.
I remember him being a decent keeper.
Any thoughts on him replacing Stannard as the Bees gk coach?

He is someone who can score goals from midfield and maybe deserves a chance. There may be many out there, but how many in our price range in position we need?
I'm sure it's a recommendation from a scout or Scott and might work out well. That's what supporting lower level team is all about, higher league rejects or even lower league punts. :fishing:
 

Glenn Poole

is he a winger then? or an attacking central midfielder?

either way, i dont want to raise the issue again but why not 1 year with an option of a second? im sure he still would have signed being from non-league!

I expect one of his handswere cold or he could be playing pocket billiards.
My veiw on this signing is, yes we dont know anything about him but can you see TB or AS signing another ****? Seeing as we got rid of 8 ***** earlier this week

"He added that the opportunity of being managed by former England captain Terry Butcher was a major influence on his decision to join the Club." :sorted:
 

Glenn Poole

I saw him more as a attacking central midfielder who gets back well enough too when required. That was at Thurrock though and not Grays. He may well have played when I saw Grays play, although Kightley looked so good you almost forgot about the others.

I think it was Kightly keeping him out of the side. I know it's only Conference but go to a Grays fans' site and you'll find pretty much complete endorsement of him.

Looking forward to seeing him play but tbh I know nothing about him although it sounds as though he plays left side and is decent with a dead ball. Maybe this is why they let Keith go.
 

Glenn Poole

He looked ok against Peterborough on the last day of the season, he was the player that got punched by a Posh fan.

I wonder what the goalkeeping coach is like, if his nickname is "Sumo".....:eek:

In the days he played for us he was a star, I really rated him, he loved his pints and chips in stripes bar, which meant he was the heaviest keeper in the whole of the 4 leagues in those days if I remember rightly.

I'm sure the stato's on here will tell me if it any different.

Don't think so. He played most of last seasons games for Grays and Kightly didn't move until January. Thurgood was injured for them early season and I think Martin & Poole played centrally for Grays most weeks with Kightly on the left. Poole may well have moved left side when Thurgood returned.

Not doubting you but just had a quick look at the grays site and couldnt see anything about him....

I mentioned on here months back ( possibly Apr/May ) that Kightly & Poole at Grays were apparently doing the business in the Conference's top attacking side as they were then.

A Woking supporting work mate said he had not seen two better players in the Conference at that time & that they were fantastic in helping whip his lot in the Trophy final itself.

As from my April 2006 post...........

Kightly has proved a real find for Wolves so hopefully we will get something similar, albeit he is a year older now !!!! and five years older than Kightly.
