Any thoughts re the possibilities of chasing after Sean Clare for next season and did Callum Reilly fulfil any potential?

Seems like he's being linked to Aston Villa, so I agree unlikely to come back to us as even if that doesn't happen there will surely be other Championship (or even Premiership) teams interested.
Also, although he's technically available on a 'free', Wednesday will be due compensation because of his age, so there will be significant financial investment involved given that he'll want a signing on fee as well, and we all know our policy on spending money..

Reilly was ok, whether I would want to spend any little money we have on a transfer fee is debatable, once you start getting into the area of transfer fee's then we could probably look at doing better.
with so many players available on a free we should be looking long and hard before committing our limited resources to any average players, his wiki page shows 2 goals in 139 appearances, hardly what we are desperate for after a season when the midfield failed to add significantly on the goal front.

Well said grumpygit !
Reilly was indeed OK. His stand-out performances were in our last two games - especially at Bristol Rovers.
Reilly has shown that he is the type of 'defensive ' midfielder that we need, whilst at the same time, he has started to show his 'positive' style of football when going forward.
I don't think that Gills will have a midfield that significantly contributes to our goals total - until the next Dack comes along -- and we certainly are not going to be able to afford to buy such a player -- so we will have to make do with somebody who can be versatile enough to try to be fairly good in defence, and attack-minded when needed. I thought that Reilly was showing these qualities at the end of season ------ I was very surprised that Bury sent him out on loan.
I understand your reluctance for Gills to spend on a transfer fee for him - but - I wouldn't mind if the figure was reasonable. It might be a better gamble than leaving it until the last minute of the transfer window (( as per usual )) - when all there is left is scrapings from the bottom of the barrel.
