    Surely we’ll see 532 more now we have a left sided CB.
    If rumours of Thomas leaving are true, we'll still only have 3 senior CBs at the club. Plus Ness who looks miles off it.

    If he's good I'm pleased. 
    What if he is shit?
    Expectations will be met?

    This new guy is left footed though…giving us the balance most managers who play 3 CBs want.

    Thomas has played LCB & LB for us before but it isn’t his best / natural position as I think he’s right footed (he’s just been a makeshift as we have so few left footers).

    Yeah. Could be. But I'd hope we'd need at least 5 senior CBs to play 352, plus Appleton has never shown he can change formation. 

    I think he's coming in to play LCB so Jones can go on his natural right side. 

    Also, credit to Jones for barely putting a foot wrong... While playing off his wrong foot! Can't say similar for his current partner.

    Jones Hector Gillesphy
    certainly seems more promising than Thomas at LCB.

    Rumour on the Plymouth forum is its £100k

    On paper it genuinely does appear to tick most boxes:

    A position we need? Check.
    From a higher league? Check.
    Experienced? Check.
    Fitness record decent over most of his career? Check.
    Paid a (substantive) fee to acquire? Check.

    So presumably he's going to shred both knees in a freak accident during his first training session and never actually play because, you know, this is Charlton.

    A defender who is slow in the mind. He will fit right in with every defender we have had for the past 5 years then

    Someone’s never watched Thomas properly 😂 watch him here, often playing as a right sided CB for Wimbledon and uses his right foot a lot for someone who is apparently left footed. https://youtu.be/5I-6DmKUmnE?si=Q20MIzbbF-AQr6sU
    Where did I say he's definitely left footed? 

    Muggy comment
    I thought he was two footed, but prefers playing on the left, so slightly favours his left foot.

    An interesting career, in that he started at Newcastle, and after playing for Carlisle, went to Oz to play for Brisbane before returning to play for Plymouth.

    'It's Gillespie with a "H" '

    "Ghillespie"

    'no, no, no, there's a "Y" as well'

    "Ghyllespie?"

    'no, it's all wrong, the H and the Y are at the end!'

    "Ah ok I got you. Gillespiehy"

    'ah fuck it, just call him Macaulay'

    "Macauley it is"

    '🙄'

    Sounds a positive signing, pleased with this one.

    Not too keen, mainly because of the recent injury. 

    Reading from Plymouth fans that he has a groin issue and has been working himself back to fitness? 

    This is the mistake we keep making, signing players before they've proven they can do a 46 game season again.

    Sounds like it's a done deal, so it is what it is, just got a horrible feeling he's going to get injured or struggle for minutes based on what I am reading

    Perhaps we're looking to sign Chris Parkes?

    May has had a knock for a couple of weeks and needed to rest it but we had no fit options.  

    Gillesphey is big, strong, lcb who can pass and isn’t the quickest…,is he the new Llera 🤭

    Clarke Harris has been left out of Peterborough’s match day squad today.
    No Stephen Humphrys in the Wigan squad today either.
    Clarke-Harris injured 🤕 apparently he’s not played for the previous 4 games apart from the last game where he scored 2 - he wants away but surely his agent is vying for a championship club like Birmingham or Stoke ?

    It’s honestly impressive that they’ve been going for near enough nine years (or more).

    Throw enough shit out there and occasionally some of it will stick.
