    Alex Gilbey is the Therry Racon of this squad.

    Can drive forward with the ball, supposed to be box to box but some argue he hides, inconsistent with minimal goals and assists.

    Despite his performances will always have a section of the fan base who rate him highly.
    Racon was far better than Gilbey.
    Like I said there will always be a section of the fan base who rated him highly :)

    Neither are/were good enough for a promotion chasing team. Racon had more skill on the ball but in terms of goals, assists and controlling a midfield he was ineffective for where we wanted to be, just as Gilbey is.

    Get rid of Jaiyesimi and we are a winger light overall.  Is it worth it to ensure we get the centre back we need?  Probably when you consider Innis injury record.  Shame, I don’t mind DJ would much rather see Gilbey moved on but it is what it is.

    If Gilbey watches Inside the Force 24/7, he is defo not moving up to Lincoln. Proper shithousery on their streets as soon as the sun sets!

    The old town up the hill is one of the best places in Britain though. He must have no culture

    No issues with DJ going. Definitely a player in there, just don’t think we’ve seen it often enough.

    People have gone about a centre forward because Washington was let go, Burstow returned to  Chelsea and Davison was sold.
    Three out
    None in
    Madness
    Why post the same thing every day?

    Agree we need one but only two have gone in reality as Davison was out on loan in the second half of the season. We’re also playing 4-3-3 so don’t need as many out and out strikers.
    You're arguing with people that count Burstow as leaving, but not Leaburn breaking through.

    weird that no club has taken a punt on Stockton, it's almost like everyone in football thinks its a freak season

    I don't mind if anyone leaves if it means BG gets someone he wants and who better fits the system.

    DJ's had 3 Managers? none of which have made him a starter. Might be a player in him but for up he's been shyte
  • Gilbey can’t stay close to home if he wants to stay in league one. There are no other London clubs in this division.

    Will have to drop to league two.

    I think it's more that no clubs is prepared to pay what Morecambe want. I think he'll go, and it won't be for a big fee either, probably less than the £500k we paid for Kirk last summer

    I didn’t say I rated him highly, I just said he was a lot better than Gilbey.  To be fair , Racon played in a central midfield pair in a 442 largely ; Gilbey has invariably been given licence to get forward and has contributed bugger all .

    Because he's not worth it, £100k is probably the ceiling on his fee, and more to the point, it's not the type of player we need

    He's exactly the player we need. Stockley's back plays him on Saturday, and we're left with a kid to play up front

    DJ would be a loss but if needs must. Better than Kirk IMHO.

    With the squad limit, the salary cap plus TS wanting to reduce his loses BG is having to move people on before he can bring our priority player, a centre back.

    But Gilbey was meant to be a done deal to Lincoln and now that's seemingly off so I'll wait until it's on the OS.

    Which is true really, I’ve lost count of the number of times someone has said we can’t rely on Leaburn. I agree to an extent so still want a striker in, but he’s clearly ready to be involved. I said in preseason I can see him causing problems for defenders this season.

    I like DJ but like others have said if it means Garner gets who he wants i'm happy

    Not if Garner wants a more mobile striker. No doubt Stockton’s quicker than Stockley, but he’s similar in style and Garner may want someone with genuine pace who’ll make more runs in behind and drift wide.

    If we can sign another striker who could play that pass he put through for DJ, I'd be very surprised.

    This, we need a mobile quick option to play in that front 3, we're playing wingers as strikers, when we need a striker who can play wide in a three, and if Stockley is out, we go to a false 9/three smaller quicker players up top. We don't have that player, Stockton is an expensive back up for Stockley

    There might not be much difference between how they’ve done in a Charlton shirt. But Kirk is much more important to keep because of how good he could be (and he’s starting to show it a little). Kirk is wanted by championship teams, DJ lower half of league 1 teams which says it all. 

    I’d rather keep both of them but Leaburn, Payne, Egbo are all options out wide so if we need to lose DJ to bring in a CB or a striker then it’s worth it and we have enough cover

    For some reason, the pass has been slightyly overlooked! A big man with his head up and playing a through ball from the outside of his foot was quite something. You could say it was Elliot Lee to Washington in their pomp (ok, that lasted one whole game!)

    I am definitely not in the know and I have no idea wheather we will bring in anyone else or not. 
    What I do know though is as things stand we will probably  finish around 10th  ( assuming we get our normal amount of injuries  ).
    Bring in another striker and a centre half and the playoffs are achievable. 
    It would be madness not  to bring them in.

    Scully ran us ragged last season up at their place a real menace when he had the ball in the final third, also very hard working.  

    Then again, there’s a massive list of players who ran us ragged last season.  
    Yeah, some of them were playing for us!
