Vital 1st Team Regular
On that basis we would only get him on a free if we paid his current wage or City paid him off.
I meant on loan, don't think there's any chance at all of getting him on a permanent deal.

Hopefully he will reduce the yellow cards next time out.O'Keefe signing is a huge bonus. Disappointed Ogilvie has gone, Graham I fully expected and Bonham is replaceable. I was surprised we only had Samuel until the end of the season.
I assume Macdonald and O'Keefe have signed 1 year deals?Disappointed but not surprised to see Ogilvie and Graham go.
Surprised to see Bonham leave too though!
A major rebuild required this summer.... again
Retained list confirmed - News - Gillingham (gillinghamfootballclub.com)
Average for majority of managers is that less than half of signings turn out to be successful. There are plenty of factors , personal and confidence for example, that can result in a player not living up to how he seemed in the scouting process. I'm definitely with Nobby on this.Some of Evans signings were very poor and his judgement in this area is somewhat lacking.
Willock, Akinde, Johnson, Maghoma and the crap loans at the start. This area is the only one that concerns me about BFSE.
Those wages were a waste and we cannot afford passengers.
At least we don’t pay tens of millions for flops like many of the Premier League clubs.Average for majority of managers is that less than half of signings turn out to be successful.

If Dempsey is staying then it's time to add another year to his contract - NOW.
The same for Tucker and Oliver too.
Spot on davey.Disappointed to lose Graham, our most creative player, we need to be able to replace him with something similar.
Bonham's been quite arrogant on social media recently, saying that he wants to play in the championship, but if he has to, he will stay at Gills.

I'm really surprised Samuel was only one a one season deal.
Shame that we didn’t get the best from Dom due to injury.We "signed" him from a Championship side so he is probably confident that he can still do the business in the Championship. As per Graham, he was probably happy to sign for us for a season during the pandemic to remain in the picture and keep fit at a club he knows. Meanwhile we benefit from a Championship experienced striker.
Absolutely spot on both Graham and Samual have used GFC to kick start their careers and we have benefited as a club and supporters- over to PDPS and SE to find players in the same situation and use the above two as evidence of what coming to GFC can do for their career.We "signed" him from a Championship side so he is probably confident that he can still do the business in the Championship.

I can't go on there any more, I was banned for introducing a balanced point of viewAnyone seen the “fans” forum on Facebook?
They are all (well, the main contributors) gobsmacked that we didn’t sign Ogilvie, Graham etc and it’s a sign Evans and Scally have no idea.
The place actually gets more entertaining as time passes due to the strange alternate universe they seem to live in.
I am not sure that is in anyway certain.Evans might stay but as I have said I believe he will get a offer.For me, the best news is that it now seems like SE is staying so at least we can be confident that the squad rebuilding is in good hands. (Depending on budget obviously)
If we'd lost some of those players with any other manager in charge, then I'd be worried.
As for Bonham he was far from a world beater.
