Re: Manny Smith to return
Gateshead have recently seen a number of defenders leave including :
Liam Hogan to Salford City (fantastic when he played here last season)
George Smith to Northampton Town.
They have brought in Neill Byrne from Macclesfield Town (more a full back).
So perhaps they are a bit reluctant to release Smith without finding cover themselves - and they don't have to as he has another 12 months contract.
Sounds a bit like a chain with a house move - how long will it take Gateshead to find cover so they can feel confident to release Smith ? How long does Keates wait before looking elsewhere ?
If the ex Halifax lad Roberts who has been released by Barnsley is available I would snap his hand off - massive centre back and always impressed when he played against us (that's why he was taken on by a Championship club) - might be out of our range though.
