Saint Martini Posted 1 September, 2009 Share Posted 1 September, 2009 From the BBC: 1402: He's still here. Apparently, he's here all day is Championship Mole: "Doncaster are interested in signing midfielder Simon 'best a man can get' Gillett from Southampton."

benjii Posted 1 September, 2009 Share Posted 1 September, 2009 If we sell him then obviously Pardew really doesn't rate him enough to want him to stay. Now, given that he's 24 and we have quite a lot of young midfield players (James, Schneiderlin, Gobern, Thomson, McClaggon, White, Holmes, Mills all of whom have some promise) as well as the experienced Hammond and Wotton, if we can free up a squad place and get some money it kind of makes sense.

Channon's Sideburns Posted 1 September, 2009 Share Posted 1 September, 2009 Wrong player to ship out. One of our midfielders who ACTUALLY HAS EXPERIENCE at this level. Sorry Pards, you've got this one wrong. Shift out Thomson & Pulis before you get rid of Gillett. HANG ON - YOU COULD NOT MAKE THIS UP = LET GILLETT GO, KEEP PULIS????????

Channon's Sideburns Posted 1 September, 2009 Share Posted 1 September, 2009 Can't we just release Pulis? Surely even paying up his contract has got to be better than having him around...can't think that many have queued up in the Megastore to have 'PULIS 69' on the back of their shirt.... Oh hang on - they sold one. To Anthony Pulis - closest he'll get to wearing the red and white. Seriously it's more embarrassing than Ali Dia....or Lee Todd.

washsaint Posted 1 September, 2009 Share Posted 1 September, 2009 Very, very disappointing if true. Not given any chance by pardew and the fact that a Championship side wants to sign him shows he can play at a higher level than where we are at.

GenevaSaint Posted 1 September, 2009 Share Posted 1 September, 2009 Very, very disappointing if true. Not given any chance by pardew and the fact that a Championship side wants to sign him shows he can play at a higher level than where we are at. We've been through this last week, for whatever reason AP does not rate Gillett, he's seen him in training. Maybe he just doesn't fit in with APs preferred style in a central midfield role. Whatever the reason it seems he's on his way, I don't see it as dissapointing, an opportunity for Gillett and for AP to get someone else into the club possibly. FWIW, lots of players leave clubs to goto higher levels and never make it. I saw a rumour today that Spurs were going to loan Bale to a CCC side, Chris Baird dropping down to CCC potentially, Cranie off to Coventry. With Gillett it's a gamble, he may well "make it" but according to J Bizzle he's crap anyway :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not given any chance by pardew and the fact that a Championship side wants to sign him shows he can play at a higher level than where we are at. A shame because he was our best midfielder last season. Damn ****ing straight. He's out of form through a lack of playing time, however given a run he is a quality player - especially at CCC and lower. I suspect the only reason he is consistently being overlooked is his lack of height, which appears to be an area of the team AP has been most intent on changing. I would like to think that there would still be a place in the team for him, but i have a feeling that barring a plethora of injuies in CM, Gillet will be a bit-part player at best this year.

niceandfriendly Posted 1 September, 2009 Share Posted 1 September, 2009 A shame because he was our best midfielder last season. Without a doubt. It's a crying shame Pardew can't see it. Gillet would (and has been with Blackpool) class in League One. He can do it in the Chamionship which he showed last season, so he'd do it down another league. Having Gillet back in the team would be like a new signing, come on Pards give him a f'ing chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The boy done well Posted 1 September, 2009 Share Posted 1 September, 2009 It's a shame he hasn't moved on. It might have brought the adulation of him by some on here, not to mention often acrimonious debates, to an end. I'm a lot older than J Bizzle and I think he's vastly over-rated too. Runs around like a headless chicken creating little but in the mould of that much adored very average player that some would seem to want back, Prutton, looks as though he's doing the business. Have to say I'm relieved AP has spotted it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
