Another Loanee Signs - Ryan Gilligan

[Southampton Gull]

Another quality addition in my opinion. Should be available to play on Saturday as well.

Sounds pretty good, which position does he play in? Midfield is pretty vague!

Seriously?

good signing if true (and i don't doubt you for one minute SG!). Respected performer at this level, 8 goals last season is a good return. I think he is more of a winger isn't he? Which is good for us as I feel that Zebs aside we are a little weak in that area.

On a more serious note, as he is an "Attacking Midfielder" I hope this doesn't indicate that Eunan's injury is going to keep him out for a while.

Wow another player out of a league 2 rival's first team sounds good,do not know much about him though,oh and on saturday,are you sure Dave,who is doing the paperwork .

When is this to be annouced officaly?

I think what has impressed me most about the 3 loanees we now have is that they are proven players, not just young up-starts at a bigger club but decent players who have played at least 100 games at this level. Hopefully we can turn them into permanent signings at the end of the season

You're not wrong Camb, this geezer has played over 200 career games, he's only 23, he's looking at 1000 career appearances, Ryan Giggs has only made slightly over 700.
I don't have a clue about this geezer, but I think his wiki description of 'attacking midfielder' might be a little optimistic, but he might, just occasionally, chip in with a goal.

Another good point. Whoever is targetting these players is fulfilling a very useful role if you ask me

[ferrarilover]

I asked this when we got the last couple and I'll ask it tonight too.

How are little old Torquay, stuck way down in Devon, with no money, no prestige, no nothin' managing to attract decent, established players from decent teams?

Good contacts?

Maybe a first team slot at a club looking for promotion?

Your guess is as good as mine mate

when is this going to be officially announced SG?

[Southampton Gull]

I'm surprised it hasn't been already. Mind you, the OS still lists Colin Lee as a director and Rob Stanley as Stadium Manager so who knows.
