Striker from Northampton Town! I knew they had offered him a new contract! Im not too far from Northampton so had seen a Chronicle report in the press!
His record suggests not. 26 goals in last 5 seasons playing for York, Notts County, Morecambe and Northampton. Is that REALLY the best we can do? I'll give anyone a chance, but that is one uninspiring signing.
The Eaves comparison is valid though. Here's hoping...
Happy to trust Evans on this one. The fact that Northampton tried to re-sign him and we got him is a more positive sign as we can clearly outgone others in the division. Augers well, so more of the same, please.
I’m more than happy to give anyone a fair crack of the whip when they are in a Gills shirt.
Who knows, we could have another Tom Eaves on our hands who just clicks with the team.
The general opinion from the Northampton Town forum/ facebook was he didn’t score many goals, but was vital to the way Keith Curle wanted to play! The fact they wanted him to stay on a new deal and he has decided to join a club with fuck all money says a lot about the person as well as the player!
