Other Champ sides want him so I can’t see him coming to us. I wouldn’t say no but not sure how much football he’s played recently, plus what’s his injury record like?

Apparently the other teams are Huddersfield, Preston, Millwall and Birmingham, so not exactly fierce competition. He may fancy a move back down south, so could be between us and Millllll.


Yeah was just going to say the clubs chasing him are not exactly that much better off than what we are anyway, maybe other than Millwall. We may have our restrictions but no reason why we can't compete with those sides, particularly with it likely being a loan signing wherever he goes.


If any of them pay half his wages then we can’t (and shouldn’t) compete.
If any of them promise him a starting role we can’t and shouldn’t do that.

It's the starting role we definitely cannot offer and probably shuts us out of the race - unless we suddenly plan to put 2 up top then whilst Gayle is a great option to have, he is coming off the bench. Unless we want to have the option to have 2 up top sometimes but then, I'd think Long would work better with Joao. Would be a nice problem to have though.

Unless we plan on playing with 2 strikers, in which case we might say he plays a starting role.

Was chat that Shackleton was heading to millwall partly as they’d pay the majority of wages. Same prob true here

Be nice to have him but can’t see it

Would imagine those questions would have been raised by the player during the negotiations and the management presumably gave answers Shane was happy with so hopefully he won’t be upset by things.

Linked with James maxwell - 20 year old LB who has just left Rangers

Apparently Donnie Rovers likely to get him ahead of us though…

Weird if he is choosing to drop to the bottom flight in England over us. Guess we may be offering less or he feels he'll get more minutes there. Strange one though.

More concerning that we are competing with clubs at that level for a signing...doesn't give you much confidence on how good they are....

Or Donnie are trying their luck and trying to compete with us.
No harm in having a look. Would be silly to dismiss him off the bat.

And we’re playing a system which doesn’t use full backs !

Wise move by Reading that, give a triallists time on the injury list and make sure they can cope.
