Don't know if this has already been discussed but couldn't find it elsewhere...

Is he still in football?

[G Somerset Rover]

Last I heard he was still training with Bolton in an attempt to keep his fitness up...could well be wrong by now mind.

That was certainly the case when my son served him in IKEA Warrington a few weeks ago

I heard from a Carlisle fan that he couldn't sign and play for anyone until the end of this season due to insurance purposes. After that he'll sign for Carlisle.

Or Man U or Chelski

[frosty]

At one point he was going to sign for New York, but that was a long time ago now.

[Exiled_Rover]

He was linked with Walsall a while back, but wanted too much in the wage department.

[Roost]

Bring him home to Ewood

One Love - BRFC

[Guest shoppybrfc]

Lets bring back Warhurst while we're at it then.

[broadsword]

he works down the chippy and swears he's Elvis.

[Billy Castell]

And sign super Atkins as well.

Yeah, and I was dumb enough to buy a New York Red Bulls shirt because of it :ph34r:

He was out there training with them but they sacked the manager and it all changed.

Hell, that was one bad training session, then!

It was Mo Johnston who got the boot, they replaced him with master tactician Bruce Arena soon after he was fired by US Soccer.

Are you sure it wasn't York , Frosty ....?

Good luck to him!

I always thought he was a striker not a midfielder though.

He is a striker - just another case of quality BBC reporting

[rover_groo]

I wouldn't say it should be too hard for MAtt to break into Carlisle's first team. One lad they signed from Morcambe with 8 goals to his name in like 30 games. He should be able to form a link with striker Danny Graham who scored 7 goals in 11 appearances for the Cumbrians last season.

Good luck Matty and hope it works out well for you son.

[tchocky]

Yeah shame they didn't give him a contract. I understand he's only training with them, and is still a free agent.

[Shaddy]

Am I right in thinking that a player does not need to be contracted to play for the club? The club just has to hold the players registration?

[modes98]

Correct at this moment, however they were interested in making him a member of the squad. Only problem may be his wage demands, although given he can't get a club that may no longer be an issue.
