We tend to be a cynical bunch on here, and with good reason.
Once again on other Wally-ish forums I’m reading plenty of “my mate on Facebook told me Gilbert’s a good player” comments.
Exactly the same thing was said, by the same people in the last 3-4 years, about …
Dylan Levitt
Matt Smith (x2)
David Davis
Conor McGrandles
Louie Fiorini
Tyreeq Bakinson
Terry Taylor
etc, etc.
“My mate on Facebook” turned out to be wrong in every case, and looking at Gilbert’s threadbare CV, there’s every chance that he’s about to join this list of duds.
Surely to fvcking God we are capable of scouting a decent player from L2 , and then investing a fee and a long term contract for him.
Why does it always have to the same profile of dud loan / free agent ?
