The Situation With our Loanees

Trev_GFC

Vital 1st Team Regular
I’ve just Googled the BBC signing announcements of our loanees to see when they run out:
- Alfie Jones: season-long loan but Southampton have the option of recalling him from January
- Alex Jakubiak and Mikael Ndjoli: season-long loans but no concern re: recall so I guess they don’t have that clause
- Tom O’Connor: expires January 1st
- Olly Lee: expires “end of January”

Edit: should the ‘with’ in the title be capitalised?

I can’t see Southampton recalling either player, both I imagine are enjoying there spells here, they are flourishing my only concern is Olly lee who’s parent club are struggling and with a new manager they may wish to recall him. Ndjoli from Bournemouth may wish to return to be sent out elsewhere which wouldn’t be a bad thing imo.

I’d like to keep them all bar Ndjoli- are we able to terminate that deal?

I like Lee but have a feeling his parent club will went to hang on to him, unfortunately for us.
 
I hope Olly Lee signs permanent, and maybe bring his brother Elliot with him, out of contract in the summer at Luton.
 
I have a probably unnecessary concern over O'Connor. I think he is improving with every game and was surprised when he was subbed yesterday. Deal ends January 1st and I'm wondering.

If these 2 sign I would like to try and get Charlie lee back and try to assemble a squad consisting solely of lee’s. This would mean no place for whelpdale when he inevitably follows Charlie lee back.

Why surprised at him being subbed?

SE was obviously wanting to go more attacking, so he wouldn’t have brought off Lee out of the mid-fielders. So, O’Keefe, Jones or O’Connor we’re the options to be replaced and I think young Tom was the best option to give him a rest. And he was wide where Marshall was coming on.

He may well be recalled, but I don’t think yesterday’s subbing will have any bearing.

Hope the loan is extended to seasons end. I’d like to think that Saints can see exactly how much both Tom and Alfie Jones are improving. And they are getting game time under an experienced manager and coach in a team that is playing well. Win/win.
 
What are Trevor and Christian up to nowadays? We do love an ex-player return at Gills.
I believe this bit of information could be true.
Lee, Trevor now 65 I`m living in south-west London (Tooting)working as a carer-escort for my sister who has disabilities.In which case I doubt that he would be available.
As for Christian Lee. He moved to Halifax Town in May 2003 and spent two years with the Shaymen, but a back problem meant he had to end his career prematurely. His good looks have provided him with some modelling work during his career.

Christian can be next manager then
 
Fortunatelee Ollie is playing well. Secondlee, the others are not in his class. Thirdlee I've run out of lee puns.
