Looks like talks are underway!

Sounds promising. As does the mention if experienced midfielders at the bottom of the article. Fingers crossed.

Yes for a team that apparently has no money we don't appear to be doing too badly. I don't know what to think about Cureton really. He is a goalscorer no doubt about it but he needs to be in a team that will suit his style of play. We don't have a target man so not really sure.
He is getting on - but there again the Conference is a poor league.
I think I would err on the side of getting someone younger possibly.

I think by the end of the day we just might!

Doing a search for Bowman on Twitter, a lot of Conference fans are claiming links!

[Colorado Gull]

I think this would be a good signing. An experienced player is important in the Conference. Won't be long to think of a song for him if he is a United player this season .

Jamie has history at Bristol Rovers and I don't think they would take him or they could lose a director so we could be in with a chance. He would be a gamble but I think our manager needs someone who can guide young forwards and Jamie might fit in.

he would be a superb signing, he'll score 15 goals for sure in the conference

On trial at Dagenham tonight.

I don't think he's on trial I expect it's him seeing if he likes the club if he's fit and we could end up with a good striker partnership.

[gurneygibbs23]

He can't be that keen to come here then. Don't blamehim. Anyone know where our friendlies are listed?

[Jeff]

Although I'd be happy enough if he signed for us, I don't expect he's cheap and one day his Indian summer will come to an end - knowing our luck when he's with us.

I think I'd be more keen on a younger, cheaper player as cover for the forward line with a better investment in the midfield (Poku and Cregg sounding promising, for example)

[PhilGull]

It does seem to be a massive gamble. Sign a young striker and if it doesn't work there's always the chance that there will be improvement over time or that someone else will come and take him for a small amount of cash.
Sign a 38 year old on what I imagine will be a relatively high wage and unless he scores double figure goals or gets double figure assists it will be a massive failure with no other options. No one will buy him off us, there will be no improvement over time.
Jamie Cureton is a player I have admired for many years, and have always dreamed of him turning out for the Gulls but I'm not sure about it at this time in his career.
