[cite]Posted By: LenGlover[/cite]Johnny Jackson would be a good signing IF it happens.
As for Simeon if the price is right (no more than £500k and even that is arguably too much). Goals will be in short supply so we need to do something.
EDIT: if Simeon is coming to the end of his contract we might get him at a decent price and screw Scally which is always a potential bonus!
Surely there is no way we'll be spending 500k on any player?0 -
with only Akpoo and Tuna (McLeod will go) we need three more strikers. That is what is concerning me more than any other position. I reckon one will be Harrold, maybe the bloke from Barnet another but to get someone proven we may need to spend a few hundred thousand. Is that sort of money available ??0

Simeon Jackson Stats
Gillingham
09-10 played 39 scored 17
08-09 played 40 scored 20
07-08 played 14 scored 4
R & D
07-08 played 22 scored 16
06-07 played 35 scored 19
05-06 played 8 scored 5
Scores just under 1 in 2 on that basis so maybe i am doing the fella a dis service0 -
Feeney will be one I feel.0
-
We should offer Izale and a small fee. 250K? for Jackson. After all Izale did cost us 1.5 million. Or thereabouts.
You have to appreciate that he was playing in a struggling team last year. How many would Burton / Bailey got if we were relegated?0 -

You are probably right but our striking options look distinctly threadbare and if we do have to spend this guy is proven at the level we are at.
Harrold underwhelms me I'm afraid as he is yet another non-scoring striker.0 -
Why on earth will you be feeling Feeney something you wish to share with the rest of us it is 2010 we are all quite liberal now0

It would be interesting to look at penalties and goals from open play.0 -
I'd worry Jackson is another Dickson or McLeod. Better off as the star at a smaller club than a squad player in one of the bigger clubs in the league. He's mainly about pace isn't he? Can't use that at home if teams are sitting back in their own penalty area.0

Johnny Jackson! Great news!0

Simeon Jackson is a very poor man's Beckford.
But then again we are a very poor man.0 -
I'll be much more comfortable once this is on the OS!!!0

McClown Mark II as far as I am concerned seen him a few times down at Gills as a neutral, pony everytime, just cos he scored against us does not make him a great player0 -
[cite]Posted By: WSS[/cite]Simeon Jackson is a very poor man's Beckford.
Is that a bad thing? If we find a striker that scores half the goals Beckford did in this division then i'd be more than happy.
Anyway if we're going for a lower league striker i'd rather we got Pitman from Bournemouth.0 -
We arent going to sign a 'proven' goalscorer for free.
The stats dont lie. Jackson has a very good scoring record. Regardless of open play and pens. Bent scored alot of pens back then.
We arent exactly a big club right now. Maybe one of the bigger clubs in League One, but its League One! We are trying to rebuild to get back to where we belong. If Jackson scores the goals to get there then we can decide if he can score at a higher level at that time
Sorry. I am getting carried away. I just want Simeon Jackson on our books!0 -

Reasons why the OS site often does not carry transfer stories that are widely reported elsewhere:
a) Other sites are not accountable for speculation and often jump the gun because they are more interested in carrying the story than being accurate.
b) Decision about the timing of publishing stories are taken by non-editorial people - such as directors/manager - who have other priorities.
c) Naivety on the part of the decision-makers about alternative sources and the media in general.
This situation has applied since at least 1995 when the OS started, although it did not apply so much to Clubcall, I think because the link between income and breaking news was more apparent. Situations like the Bailey transfer and the way Boro (mis)handled it only reinforce the position.
I can tell you from experience it's much more frustrating being the person not allowed to post the story than it is being the fan not seeing it there, but we've failed to shift the position over the last 15 years. It has nothing to do with laziness, ineptitude or stupidity on the part of relevant staff.0 -
So is JJ signing? On the hush like?0

I don't think anyone has suggested that is ever the case. It's frustrating to read here there and everywhere that something has happened and the OS not to confirm it BUT a case in point is Warren Feeney. Sky said a few days ago he has signed and he obviously hasn't (yet) and so it really is only fact when it's on the OS. Personally speaking I wouldn't want the OS to print gossip and rumours as we get enough of that elsewhere and it's nice to be able to rely on the OS for facts only.
So, Jackson signed or not ??0 -

Has Kandol signed for anyone else yet?
A few weeks ago I heard that his agent was having talks with us.0 -

I'd like to think that, deep down, we all knew this. Certainly nothing in there I'd question
It is the Charlton way to only announce stuff when it's all done and dusted - remember Zabeel ?0 -

So what you are actually saying is Henners is wrong? Hurrrraaaaaaaahhh0 -
Jackson signs ...... CONFIRMED on OS!!0

You can't negotiate in public and it would be counter-productive to do so. There is a risk you end up commenting on every half-baked piece of speculation. But in reality there is no benefit in remaining silent when multiple sources have accurately revealed that something is underway. Indeed, it's damaging as it makes the club look secretive and slow to react.0
