Can't understand that, why go non-league, just for a few quid????

cashman · 03-06-2010, 07:24

wish him well, aint too cut up about it.

shakermaker · 03-06-2010, 07:31

Think he'll regret it, but all the best Kempo.

smudgie · 03-06-2010, 08:50

If they are offering double what we are theres not alot we can do I dont think

cashman · 03-06-2010, 09:01

wonder if the fact, players don't really know who will be in charge has any bearing on players leaving?

Whalley Red · 03-06-2010, 10:51

Good luck, Darran. Thanks for the memories!

But I'm not surprised that he's moved to a club like Grimsby. While he made a good pairing with Phil Edwards, the limitations to his game were as apparent as they were with Michael Welch. Phil Edwards and Dean Winnard both look comfortable with the physical nature of the game at League 2 level, but also have the technical skills to play at a higher level.

Must be summat about that east coast that's attracting our players - can understand Bobby it's a much higher league but Grimsby, seriously???
Then again, if I could have picked which of the two, Winnard or Kempson to stay it would be Winnard every time & totally agree with what Whalley Red has posted.

deano and kempo are totally different players although it would have been interesting to see kempo play left back for 50 odd games!!
Deano has been brought up playing football from the back so this season was a culture shock!!!!
Even at left back he headed the ball more times this season than the previous nine.
At 6-1(deano) Acci may miss the ariel power kempo gave them but hopefully will be compensated with pace and reading of the game ( edwards is the master of this)
Be interesting but i feel another c b is a must even just to provide competition and experience

What are your thoughts on this guys? I see he was a regular in your team and has played for various other league clubs. From a Grimsby point of view it seems to me a very good signing. Just proves there is no loyalty in the game anymore (providing we offered him more wages)

If i were him i wouldn't have moved. I'd love to play infront of a group of fans like the Stanley Ultras, it'd be amazing.

The Stanley fans put a warm feeling in the players guts, but not bread, unfortunately.

Im bit surprised he chose to leave, but a big POSITIVE from this is that we might actually see Winnard play in his natural centre back position

Redash · 03-06-2010, 16:18

Good luck Kempo, but where is your ambition.

AsFc62 · 03-06-2010, 16:20

Taking a step down for extra dough... thats ambition that is :$
