Pitt linked with switch to Broadhall Way

Courtney Pitt is again being linked with a move to Stevenage. The wing back was released by Cambridge at the end of last season and is currently looking for a new club. Chris Vessey, who is quite a reliable source for news from Cambridge, says that Pitt spoke to Boro yesterday about a move to Hertfordshire, but also discussed a move back to Cambridge today with view to returning to the club he left a month ago. This could be one to keep an eye on as GW said that left back was one position he was still looking to strengthen and with Pitt being a similar type of player to Eddie Anaclet who signed last month from Oxford then this is a real possibility of happening.

New Boro striker Lee Boylan has expressed his surprise at ex manager Jimmy Quinn’s departure from Cambridge United. It seems that Quinn was all set to stay on at the Trade Recruitment Stadium for this season before leaving by “mutual consent” a couple of days ago. This adds to the speculation that Quinn left due to irregularities regarding Rob Wolleaston’s transfer to Rushden. Meanwhile the U’s have signed Lee McEvilly from Accrington Stanley. McEvilly is a good player at this level and Stevenage were said to be interested in his signature, but to be honest I’m quite pleased that he hasn’t joined us. I want us to play good, attractive football next season on the pitch and with McEvilly in the team it makes that more unlikely as he is a target man who thrives on football played up to him in the air.

Former Boro boss Peter Taylor has added another new face to his Wycombe team for next season. Gavin Grant, who had a successful loan spell here towards the end of last season, has joined the club on a two year deal after his release from League 1 side Millwall. I thought Grant was one of the better signings by PT along with Tommy Smith and wouldn’t have minded if GW had signed Grant for next season. Regarding his new signing Taylor said…

“He’s got bags of potential and he’s a good finisher. He’s got an eye for goal, he’s quick, he’s an athlete and will get better. He did well at Stevenage. His goalscoring record speaks for itself and he gets into positions to score goals.”

I personally didn’t have him down as a prolific goalscorer which Taylor seems to say. PT played him wide right in a 4-5-1 formation and he was a player that blew hot and cold. Some games he would be quiet and you’d forget he was playing, but would pop up with a goal while in other games he’d be a constant threat, but not have a finish at the end. What Grant did have is potential and if nurtured correctly could be a useful acquisition to the Wycombe team.
