    Wycombe fan in peace. Just wanted to say good luck for the new season. I know a couple of Gills fans who agree we are similar size clubs, constantly up against the big London clubs. Some of your play was good last season and it would be good to see you do well this year.

    gills prog seller. Norwich are not giving Cody a 2 or 3 year contract they have released him along with 5 other players. I would love to see him back but I do not see how it will happen. The best I feel that the best that could happen is a sort term loan deal of 6 months.

    I do however feel that another club at a higher level will take him on. The only advantage we have is that he enjoyed his time with us and our relationship with Norwich. Now we have lost two other strikers a replacement must take a priority. Cody without doubt is my first choice (even to January) but there are others out there.


    UTG!!

    They haven't released him GFCSTU, they just haven't included him in the 25 man squad they have produced to the Premier League. Basically means if he goes nowhere he can't play for the first team, just ressie games.

    I can't see him coming back myself either. If he has proven himself here in League 2 already, Norwich will surely want to loan him to a higher division to increase his worth more.

    gillinghamlad, mcdonald is not apart of any plans regards norwich and neither are any of the other five...lambert wants them off the norwich wage bill!...hence...they will be out of that club in the next few weeks?
    plus norwich don't even intend playing them in the reserves team either...what does that tell you!

    as for increase cody's worth in a higher division, don't you think £550,000 is high enough?...division two or whatever level!

    so on that we would stand a chance regards mcdonald, but don't have the funds for this good a player...so highly unlikely?

    No, no, no, no, no. Why does everbody keep coming back to Dickson, he had one good spell with us and did nothing everywhere else he went, and during a second loan spell with us... He simply isn't good enough!

    If everyone else's winning frequency is the same as mine better for 5000 fans to put up £10 each. With a bit of negotiation that would probably be enough to buy him from Norwich and pay his wages for a 3 year contract.

    The great unknown is Norwich's real standpoint. £500k is silly. No disrespect to Cody, but how much is a proven L2 striker worth? Because that's what he is at the moment. If he's playing in Norwich's reserves he's not going to get the exposure, so his value is going to go down, not up. Any player nearing the end of his contract is going to worth less, especially if he's not wanted by his existing club. But if the reports are correct that they want him off the books they're not doing a great deal to facilitate that by asking a realistic selling price.

    If he really want to endear himself to Gills, he should see out his contract with Norwich and then sign for us on a free at the end of next season. If we can get him on loan inbetween that would be a real bonus.

    um dont think £50K would be enough to buy him let alone pay his wages for 3 years sorry :p

    the only way we are going to get him realistically is on loan and to do that we need to send some of our players out on loan. send the youngsters out plus maybe even martin as jackman seems to be ahead of him now and we'd have frampton as immediate cover with king stepping in at cb. sure theres a few midfielders that can go as well as we need players to be mathc fit when they come back espically if were not in the reserve league this year

    :embarrassed::embarrassed::embarrassed:

    No excuses other than total brain-fade. Definitely a proposal to forget!!!

    Guess it's revert to plan A (or 50,000 to stump up a tenner)

    if this it true it would be the best thing that could happen. hammers get a promising youngster on the cheap(ish) by their standards and we get a great chance of getting him back on loan. presuming they arent going to be starting him.
