Phileas Fogg Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Think he'll be more attainable than Dack. He'd compliment our midfield nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's quite refreshing that it is the club turning down our offer rather than the player. (That is not to exclude the possibility of a double bubble once the player has the chance to make a statement). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrizzleBengal Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 In the last 6 months of his contract so shouldn't need a massive bid to get accepted, bottom of league one you'd think the player should come but equally he could walk at the end of the season and have a pick of a few more clubs then.

Interesting Aaron - Felt all season that Luke , like Wes and a few others has tried / been advised to baulk up / increase body strength for the championship. For someone like Wes with his type of game and his frame I think that's very wise and will help him greatly , whereas I think that may be a mistake with Luke as can't see him with his size ever being able to outmuscle opponents and his nimbleness was a massive (vital) asset to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh93 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 KEEN HITS OUT AT CITY Colchester manager Kevin Keen isn't happy with Bristol City's attempts to sign his midfielder Alex Gilbey this week. The submitted a bid for the 21-year-old on Friday and it's fair to say keen and his chairman Robbie Cowling weren't impressed with the money on offer. He said: “You’ll have to speak to Robbie about that but it was a joke offer as far as we are concerned. The bid was far, far under our value." taken from sky sports transfer centre this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did we offer them ? Fake noses, rubber chickens, big red curly wigs ? The selling club obviously want more but surely we should be asking their valuation of the player before tempting our chance . Now we have ,like normal , alerted other clubs of our interest and we all know that QPR will come along and trump our offer with a Whoopee cushion.

Interestingly, and according to the Mail, we are likely going back in with a bid thought to be around 400k. Now, Keen saying our 300k bid, if accurate, is 'way way under value' the obvious question should be; would an extra 33% change that view? Bravado or not i agree with your view that we should be asking what they want for him if only because there is only a day and a half left of the window. Is Dack 4 times better than Gilbey? Obviously not. Are media reports accurate? Quite possibly not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negan Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Gilbey is out of contract in the summer. They won't get him to sign another and they know that. That's why Keen has come out and said he is good enough for the prem in a few years. I'm with our club 100% on the money being offered. To pay anything more than 500k for him would be stupid. We can get him on the free in a few months, granted we'll have to pay tribunal but Colchester know that it won't be much. This will be a late deadline day signing. Along with a striker (hopefully) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
