If Charlton signed Gilbert would he be a barrier to youngsters coming through?
Surely he would need to be markedly better than, say, Mwamba or Fullah?
I didn't get that vibe from him when he played before.0 -
I think Gilbert is a decent player with good vision and passing range. As a squad player then fine. As a starter though, I think we need better.0

Gilbert didn’t start for us over Luke Berry and Greg Docherty in league 1. Our midfield is an area we need a big upgrade, honestly can’t believe there is anyone that is considering this as a move that would do that20

This is such a false argument. If they're good enough to play ahead of him they will, regardlessjose said:If Charlton signed Gilbert would he be a barrier to youngsters coming through?

Can I ask did I miss something, how are we worried now we are only after free transfers? Is this confirmed or speculation?

Reece Burke
JRC
Apter
Charlie Kelman
Harvey Knibbs
not to mention the loans (bree and Hernandez)
Seeing as this is the bulk of our spending last season I wouldn’t be panicking just yet.

No need to drop anyone, it’s about build a squad of player capable of playing in the championship not just a starting 11. Strength in depth is key in case we get more injuriesScoham said:

That’s why I disagree about signing Gilbert as midfield cover, we need one, ideally two first choice signings in there. Depth was a problem last season when players like Berry and Anderson came in. Gilbert is better them but would likely only be a sub.AberystwythAddick said:

We know we’re scouting beyond England and Scotland now, I can’t believe there isn’t a player or two out there who’s affordable and better than Docherty and Coventry.4 -

The last thing we need is more midfielders who aren’t good enough to be starting week in week out.AberystwythAddick said:

In fairness Gilbert did play well against us at the valley but faded out of the game which is the concern with him. Did a job on loan and will never forget the two corners against Orient!!7

We need to sign players who are a clear improvement over the current options. Coventry and Docherty will then become the depth.AberystwythAddick said:

Wait! You are saying that, after this point last season, we signed Burke, JRC, Apter, Knibbs and Hernandez? And that is meant to encourage us? I should think if management read that they will lock the chequebook away and call it "business done for this window".Wijoh said:

Ran the show is strong but he did have a good game. Then again we were so open that I think basically anyone would haveCovered End said:

Gilbert would be such a meh signing. Doesn't improve on what we've got and don't think there's much to choose between him and JRC.
Hoping a good chunk of the budget is earmarked for the midfield and PC can go and find a couple of real gems from Europe2 -
I really like the fact we’ve targeted Europe for players but it also scares me. It’s such a huge gamble.2
