“I want to be here and drive us on, as much as I can.”
Read this and alarm bells have sounded for me regarding Gallen. Maybe being eased out, the club certainly seem to have kept his name further from the lime light of late.
Pick holes in this years squad all you want, but I believe he turns up more trumps than most. Gobinson did us a blinder here bringing him in.
Since Sangaard arrived these are the 'Gallen' signings:
Gilbey - okay signing (injury) Washington - good signing Maddison - Poor signing Bogle - poor signing or poor management? Watson - below average Gunter - below average Inniss - okay signing (injuries) Jaiyesimi - good signing Shinnie - good signing
Loans:
Smith - bad signing Smyth - Okay signing Maatsen - Good signing Stockley - Good signing Levitt - Bad signing Famewo - okay signing (injuries) Millar - Good signing
Wouldn't say judging from that Gallen would give off the greatest first impression to Thomas.

No mention of Gallen here. And who is Ruben?
been asked already, nobody has responded as yet.
Think I'm going to be whooshed here :-):smile: but.... he's been in with Ged & Ruben, recruitment is a separate topic

With ridiculous restrictions in place.
Wouldn't say Shinnie was good. Spent money getting him on loan, then signing him to get in Matt Smith on loan...end up releasing him after.
Gunter and Watson on 2 year deals is an awful decision.
Jaiyesimi it's still early to say but at the moment he's only okay to me. Washington again is alright but wouldn't say I'd have him in a top League One side.

11 goals and a fair few games playing out wide is only alright?

Horses for courses, I thought he was class
Sure but did he cement a place in a top league one side? No.

It didn't read that way to me.
To avoid multiple posts, I don't think Gallen is a Scout, in the sense that he unearths players no one else spots. He is a "contract and contacts" man.
By that I mean I don't think we have signed anyone since he has been here that anyone in the game would have said "bloody hell where did he find him" it's more "bloody hell how did he cut a deal for him".
Forster-Caskey, Page, Inniss, Williams even Josh Parker are good examples of that.
I am presuming we are talking about Accrington's Cody Bishop.
Nope, Accrington's Colby Bishop
Thanks I have corrected my post.
Thing is with Colby 5ft 11ins isn’t he just another Connor Washington 10 goals a season man - we need a 30 goals a season potential striker...like a fit version of Chuks ?
Without his injury Washington was on target for 15.
I rate Washington. I really like his work rate, and I agree with you. With better players around him, I think he can definitely contribute more goals

What circumstances?
The fact he hasn't been playing as an out and out striker for most of the season?

That surely supports the view that his goals tally is more than ok?

I thought the rumour out there is that Chuks hasn't rejected the deal we have put to him but neither has he signed it yet. He seems to have some Championship clubs interested and is probably weighing up his options.

In that case I'd tell him to sign the contract or fuck off

Why? he isn't a Charlton fan. He needs persuading. If we wanted a team full of Charlton fans it would probably be a shit team.
