    Think Ruben is Ruben Sammut, ex Chelsea academy lad who didn’t make it and was doing some part time scouting for us last year I believe (and academy scouting for Chelsea) whilst playing for Dulwich Hamlet. Sounds like he might be more involved now. 
    Here’s his LinkedIn where he’s currently an academy scout for Chelsea.

    Ipswich have signed Wes Burns from Fleetwood and Lee Evans from Wigan.

    Wigan have signed Jack Whatmough from Portsmouth.


    Movement beginning to happen around us.
    I think Ipswich are going to be a real problem next season! We need to get moving if our rivals are.

    BTW Gallen is 100% still around I speak to somebody who knows SG and he’s busy working on deals but been on his holibobs until this week.
    One of two times we can sign players and he goes on holidays. 
    Yeah, fancy letting a member of staff go on holiday.

    Fortunately we now have a recruitment team
    How big is this recruitment team?

    I have always said, it's not the size that counts.

    surely this is the best time for gallen to go on holiday. If we need gallen now, we are bang in trouble!

    players would hopefully have been identified now and it’s over to Adkins and gedy to work their magic.

    I would not be impressed by the head hunter mot being around when I joined a company. Nor would any player and more so his agent.
    So I guess we’re not gonna see you up front next season?

    Good job you're not on the shopping list then.

    If you'd been head hunted, then the head hunter has done his job. Gallen doesn't agree the contracts and sign the players, he identifies them.

     Sorry, don't know but SG said at one point it was just him and one scout so hope its grown since.

    He does agree the contracts and the fees etc doesn't he.  Didn't Thomas say he was the best negotiator he had ever seen?

    There's a rumour we've signed an ex-Chelsea Scottish Malteser from Maidstone who plays for Dulwich Hamlet but only as a scout.

    There was a poster here saying Whatmough would be good for us, ignoring the red cards, own goals and 2 serious injuries, I am supprised he has gone to Wigan. I would say that is a sign of intent tbh.

    This is going to be a serious division next season, make no mistake. 
    Never been impressed by him and the Pompey fans don't seem too bothered to see him go.

    I think Wigan and Ipswich will both have bigger budgets than us this summer.
    I have never knowingly watched him play but signing 1st team players from teams that finished 10 places above you is a good start.

    We forget we aren't the only club in the division with a new, rich, owner that talks a good game.  More than one is going to be disappointed.  I just pray it isn't us.

    The proof will be in the pudding 
    Aaaagh! The proof of the pudding is in the eating. :smile:



    I think he means he puts lots of brandy in his cakes so the proof is in the pudding.

     How do you manage to convert what I said  into no holidays for staff.

     As a manager I couldn't take holidays at crucial times and being an Italian  company it has to suit them to. 

    Strikes me that this time is crucial and what do managers do ? The manage and direct.  

    I bet you the 'recruitment team' isn't  enormous and that the final decisions are made at Director / senior management level. 
    If we are making player lists now, it's too late.. although if he has a copy of football manager on his laptop we'll be fine.
