Bailey said:Got to say, the fact that nobody seems to know too much about him is probably a good thing, no unrealistic expectations there then. I will base his signing on the last loan signing from Middlesborough, I think, Alan Kernaghan, if he turns out as well as that fella did then we might have a result.

.@PhilSpenc23 tells me Alex Gilbert is a really good signing. Typically a no. 10 but can play out wide or a bit deeper too and has really good delivery.

Says it’s a shame he hasn't had more game time because he's a really good player!#CAFC 🤞🏼0 -
All I wanted from this window. This ticks all my boxes: Midfielder ✅ , Young (he's 23) ✅ , has a point to prove ✅ .
This keeps our squad fresh for the promotion push and keeps the team competitive.

All this talk of Gilbert and Sullivan puts me in mind of a great South East Londoner singing from the Mikado.
I give you Timothy Spall.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KbE0wZaXiLI&pp=ygUmVGltIHNwYWxsIHRoZSBwdW5pc2htZW50IGZpdCB0aGUgY3JpbWU%3D

Welcome Alex Gilbert, curious to see how he gets on. Personally feel this will be one where it's either gonna work really well and we will be gutted we won't be able to get him in the summer, or, he's as useful as Fiorini. Loans always seem to pan out that way here, unfortunately, usually the latter.
I always take positive comments from fans with a pinch of salt. Too many times I've read that a player will "walk this league" or "he's too good for that level" but it's the complete opposite.
One way of looking at it is if he's on the bench for Boro who could be a Premier league team next year next season, he must have something to offer.
The other way is he's had about 30 appearances in 5 years. Doesn't strike me as someone who is ready to hit the ground running and make an immediate impact.
Hopefully it works well and we are gutted he won't be staying as he scores a hatrick at Wembley.
All the best Gilbert 👍🏻3 -

So in summary, no one knows how he'll perform and we'll have to wait and see.11

Technical Director Andy Scott added: "Our focus in this window has been on streamlining the squad to ensure Nathan has players that are going to contribute to the run-in and adding real quality to our team that improves us.
"We’ve been chasing Alex for a while now and we’re really pleased he’s joined us. We believe he has the ability to positively impact the team as he has done a number of times for Middlesbrough in the Championship. He has great quality in the final third, gives us something different in those forward positions and we’re looking forward to watching him in action for Charlton."
“ Chasing Alex for a while” Lol, fuck off Scott

As Morgan Whittaker the attacking midfielder or wide man has just joined from Plymouth, I assume Alex Gilbert chance of coming on as a sub for Middlesbrough had diminished so the loan move to CAFC is he can finally start to play regular as for a 23 year old he just hasn't played enough games. Either from the start or from the bench for CAFC.

I'm not an apologist for Andy Scott and have said I have been disappointed with his judgement calls especially his opinion on Michael Appleton and his decision not to make George 'never misses a game' Dobson a top earner at the club.
On Alfie May that was more down to the way Nathan played him and the Luton Players connection was Jones call rather than Scott.
I like transparency on what injuries players have and who recommended them or signed the player for CAFC.
Ramsey, Edwards and Lloyd Jones very good signings do you not agree ? Coventry also a decent signings and that was Appleton and Scott going for a cup of tea with the family as well as Conor playing for Micky Apples at Lincoln on loan.
Lots of below par signings as well which have hampered our progress and Gassan Ahadme was probably signed to replace Miles Leaburn at some time which is looking a poor decision so far.

What are the odds it will be 6 weeks before he is fit enough to start.0

Can I be the first to thank Tyreece for his contributions and good luck at his new club.0

Looks a bit like Scott Fraser and his name is not dissimilar to Alex Gilbey. Getting good vibes from this one.15

Two of the best videos of incoming players were Chris Eagles best 20 goals and Matt Penney's attacking left side breaks as well as taking the ball with him. In reality none of the highlights on the videos came to fruition at CAFC !
It's only odds against because of the history of our signings but surely at least until he's been on the field for two minutes can CL members refrain from slagging off our new loan signing in the warm up.🤷🏻♂️0
