A CB and striker on loan. McKirdy on a permanent with DJ going the other way, and Gilbey leaving. That would be an amazing deadline day4

Ah the joys of being a lower league football fan.
Premier league clubs fans hang on the every word of world famous football transfer guru Fabrizio Romano with his 11m+ followers.
We wait anxiously for snippets of info from a guy called Sausage dog, whose bio says he's a scaffold manager.80 -
Hibbs think they are signing McKirdy.0

If we signed McKirdy on a permanent I don't think we'd have a hope of getting a striker as well as that. 2 signings is the most we can hope for IMONabySarr said:A CB and striker on loan. McKirdy on a permanent with DJ going the other way, and Gilbey leaving. That would be an amazing deadline day1 -

Who is this mystery striker who scores?1

To be honest, it seems from his own admission Gilbey has had some real issues with confidence since joining us. If going down a level and minimising your commute is the best way to build yourself back up and feel good about yourself when you wake up in the morning then that's the right move for you. We spend so much time talking about players pushing to be the absolute best but for some people just feeling good in their day to day life is important, and that's fine. He seems like a decent bloke, I hope he does the best thing for himRedhenry said:

Once we get rid of Gilbey, McG and JFC (in an unfortunate finish to his time), it feels like we have moved on from our shite legacy period consisting of the end of Bowyer/Adkins/Jacko.
The rest of the deadwood have been cleared quite efficiently by the Club to be fair.
Albie, Innis and Aneke are the only others who need to show they belong to the new phase of what we are trying to do. Doubts remain about their ability to offer week in/out, for different reasons.2 -

And if he decides the best thing for him is to just stay in our reserves and see out his contract, stopping us from bringing in a player we need to mount a real challenge this season, would you be ok with that?Garrymanilow said:

Was it not reported elsewhere that he recently bought a house in this area, so is unlikely to want to move too far. I believe Cawley said he wanted a club closer to home. Probably the main driver rather than building his confidence up.0 -

He really did NOT go just through the.motions last nigjt. He put a good shift in.CL_Phantom said:randy andy said:Wouldn't be surprised if JFC is released if we don't sell him today. Makes sense to hold on to him whilst a fee is possible, but if contract clauses make him essentially unavailable for league games the can't see why we'd hold on to him once the change of a fee has gone.
Or probably he'll be loaned out and hope some interest comes along for a Jan sale as last chance for some dollar dollar bill y'all.
Don't think it'll be worthwhile playing him if he's here, the match thread last night made it sound like he was just going through the motions.
Look at the marks he got to see that most people agree with this.
Good to hear, personally, a fit motivated JFC is a player I'd like to keep.2 -
Would you have it any other way though?!Chris_from_Sidcup said:Ah the joys of being a lower league football fan.

60 mile drive from his home in Colchester (same as trip to Eltham) or uproot family to Lincolnshire?killerandflash said:

Perhaps Gilbey listens to the people closest to him - like his wife/partner who perhaps doesn't want him to go as far as Lincoln?Redhenry said:

Family situations can play a big part in location or timing of a move.

McKirdy is a real pot shot.
not prolific until last season
rumours of being a partygoer
massive shithouse and wind up merchant
but you just never know if he’s got the X factor.If the money isn’t ridiculous I’m up for it I think1 - Sponsored links:

I think the majority of people just forget these fellas are just young adults. Ok probably mid 20s but still young adults who are finding their way in life. So much more comes in to a move than just is what is seen on the surface. I wouldnt want to be living in a hotel week in week out with no friends and family around me at that age. They also need to go and fit in with a new group of players all with their own agenda/ego and im guessing this isnt always easy. Yes by all means im assuming most of us would love to be a footballer, but whats to say if we were we would love the game? To some its just a job they are lucky enough to be good at. Ive just turned 35 and in the football world at that age your too old and retiring . . Its a short career for them to set themselves up with . . .you cant blame them if a move doesnt suit what they want. Clubs have a duty to pay the player the sums they signed the contract for . . just as much as the player has a duty to perform to the best of their efforts if selected to play. I dont know anymore info but for the sakes of the Gilbey debate, why would he want to move house out of the London area to go to Lincoln? Makes sense to hold out for a move that suits his lifestyle. if the manager doesnt fancy him and he isn't selected all he can do is train each day and give 100%, the rest is out of his hands.20

Contracts work both ways we can't criticis players not honouring their contracts and then criticis when they expect us to.Chunes said:

Moving to Stevenage might show a lack of ambition but it’s the difference between League 1 and 2 which is not the same as turning down a Championship move to stay comfortable in League 1. I’d do the same if my wages were guaranteed either way.1
