davieG Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 King's Lynn skipper Andy Boyce is being tracked by Championship new boys Leicester City. The teenage centre-back is among a number of the club's youngsters who have attracted attention in recent weeks from Football League outfits. Foxes' officials watched Boyce in Saturday's 5-1 home romp over Matlock from Newsnow.

maddog Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 He can't be Championship standard if he plays for Kings Lynn surely Be a strange one if true. We need a central midfielder and an actual winger if anything.
StanSP Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 He can't be Championship standard if he plays for Kings Lynn surely Be a strange one if true. We need a central midfielder and an actual winger if anything. Might not be yet. But if scouts/NP see potential in him, then they might snap him up before someone else does. Also, Morrison made the leap from non-league to football league, albeit league one, but he's still doing alright this season.
Edmund Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 He can't be Championship standard if he plays for Kings Lynn surely We got Morrison from the lower leagues and he doesn't look out of place in the championship

We need a central midfielder and an actual winger if anything. Shows how much you know about Football when you consider how successful some of the signings from non-league have been in the past 3 years.
Guest Basildon Fox Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 To be fair to Mad Dog he is probably right. Morrison was one of the stand out players in the division below Football League level. I believe Kings Lynn are in fact another 2 divisions down. Not saying he can not make i sometime but that must be far too high step up straight away surely? We also have Parkes & Bolger coming through the youth ranks. Would this guy really be any better than these 2?
Tommy G Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 Kings Fuc king Lynn? Where is the ambition of this club
Edmund Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 Anyone who questions non league players not being able to perform at a higher level only have to look to Wolves and Peterborough.
CosbehFox Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 If you actually read the article, the player in question was recently released from Doncaster. So in the general scheme of things, he's basically Parkes or Bolger with experience of playing some proper stuff. To add, the biggest impact any player has had in recent years from non-league is Jermaine Beckford who was signed from Wealdstone who play at the same level of King's Lynn.
StanSP Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 Anyone who questions non league players not being able to perform at a higher level only have to look to Wolves and Peterborough. And Hull, no?
Corky Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 Kings Fuc king Lynn?Where is the ambition of this club Possibly looking to the future, developing young talent rather than going for older players who couldn't really care less/ got nothing to prove?

So he was not good enough for Doncaster and that makes him a better prospect than the 2 mentioned how?
Tommeh Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 He can't be Championship standard if he plays for Kings Lynn surely Be a strange one if true. We need a central midfielder and an actual winger if anything. Yeah it's clear Oakley and Wellens arn't cutting the mustard. And King as back up, pah! You never fail to amaze me.
Thracian Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 Shows how much you know about Football when you consider how successful some of the signings from non-league have been in the past 3 years. Furthermore we have a small collection of our old boys now playing for Kings Lynn and if he's impressed them week on week then I'm sure they'll have filtered word back. A club should always be looking to the future.
Pete_foxes Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 Kings Fuc king Lynn?Where is the ambition of this club Its a choice for clubs like ourselves to either go for the unknown players from the lower leagues and develop them or go for the old premiership players e.g. Martin Keown springs to mind. I know which one I prefer. There are defiantly gems in the lower leagues and I for one trust Nigel and his team to find them!
Bryn Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 Young players often find themselves knocking around down there, waiting to make their step up. He's a teenager, if they've seen potential it's a cheap way of possibly bringing through a first team player.
maddog Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 Yeah it's clear Oakley and Wellens arn't cutting the mustard. And King as back up, pah!You never fail to amaze me. We need 1 more 2 players for every position suits me, we play 2 central midfielders so need 4. I never notice King playing and Wellens has been injured so we need another.

Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 Never heard of him. But I hadnt heard of Morrison or Tunchev either. Not sure we need anoth CB but NP knows what he is doing.
Sparky Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 Ashley may know a bit about this as his uncle is Kings Lynns manager
iancognito Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 We need 1 more 2 players for every position suits me, we play 2 central midfielders so need 4. I never notice King playing and Wellens has been injured so we need another. Oakley, Wellens, King and the forgotten man Clemence and then the youth below that. We're as covered as any team in the division with that lot.
lou Posted 13 October 2009 Posted 13 October 2009 Mattock? He looks like a cross between Mattock and Berner!
