Sheringham not a Cherrie yet

Dartford Manager Tony Burman has announced today that Striker Charlie Sheringham’s proposed move to Bournemouth is not yet complete. The Darts accepted an undisclosed offer from the Cherrie’s on Saturday and after talks between Sheringham and Bournemouth, the move was thought to have been confirmed by today. Burman said, “There are one or two issues at the Bournemouth end, he hasn't signed for them yet.” The striker, who has scored 12 times already this term, has been attracting attention from quite a few Football League clubs and Burman insists that the club would not be under the obligation to stop the move from taking place. “We don't want to stand in anyone's way of becoming a professional footballer.” The son of the former England and Manchester United star Teddy Sheringham, has had previous spells at Millwall, Ipswich, Tottenham and Crystal Palace, but has never made a Football League appearance.

Sheringham is just another name to add to the tremendous amount of talent that have engineered a move into the Football League from Dartford, following the likes of Dave Martin, currently on loan at Walsall and Cody McDonald, now applying his trade at Coventry City. Burman believes that Sheringham can follow in the footsteps of Martin and McDonald and become a success in League One if the deal goes through. “He can do a job in League One, he's been with 'pro' clubs but he's maturing. He takes a lot of criticism because of who his father is but he handles that so well. He's been excellent since Christmas onwards.” So whilst Bournemouth continue working on negotiations Sheringham remains a Dart, for now at least.
