No news on Baker
No news on the future of Matt Baker has emerged from Edgar Street despite reports last week that the goalkeeper was to talk to Graham Turner, the Hereford United manager, today.
Three weeks ago the Non-League Paper reported that Baker had received three offers from other clubs, including one from a Second Division club.
"It is the first time in my career that I have been in a position like this and I am not going to rush into anything," said Baker at the time.
However the silence from Baker and his agent since that report suggest that these offers may not have come to much.
One club looking for a goalkeeper is Wrexham.
Manager Denis Smith today told the Wrexham Evening Leader: "I am trying to bring in another goalkeeper and the one I'm interested in has just come back from holiday. I spoke to his agent over the weekend and hopefully we will have more talks in the next 24 hours."
Smith wants a back-up keeper to Andy Dibble but so far has declined to identify who he is after.
However for Baker to move to become a "back-up keeper" seems unlikely unless he is prepared to wait and hope that he would become the number one keeper at Wrexham.
Meanwhile one former Hereford United player has moved to Conference South side Weymouth on a three year deal.
Chukki Eribenne was on loan from Bournmouth at Edgar Street during the middle the 2002/2003 season. He made seven appearances for the Bulls.
"Chukki is someone who is strong and powerful, has scored a lot of goals at our level and at 23-years-old definitely has his best years ahead of him. He is a player who brings variety to our attack and gives manager Steve Claridge the option of mixing and matching his line-up depending on circumstances." said Ian Ridley, the Weymouth chairman.
