In midfield, we now have the following
East Age 27 Current contract 6/27
Pettit 22 Contract 6/27
Francis 26 Contract 6/28
Gilmour 27 6/26
McBride 24 6/26
Barlow 26 6/26
Burger 21 6/26
Gomez-M 24 6/26
Pritchard 29 6/26
We also have out on loan
Edwards 18 6/26
Humbles 22 6/27
With 9 midfielders on the payroll plus the 2 loanees I am assuming Jim is thinking far ahead. Jan/Feb seems to be the time of the season when new contracts are being discussed. | | | |

This is an excellent signing, on paper, and clearly a player we have monitored for some time. Sometimes when the deal is there to be done you just have to take it though clearly we are well stocked in midfield. | | | |

There may be a departure I think, favourite to leave I suppose would be Gomez Mancini hasn’t featured much and injury prone | | | |

Prudent planning if they expect Gilmour to leave in the summer. Get Francis in and acclimatised to the system ready for next season. |  | | |

Barlow 26 6/26
The above 3 i would hope we extend... especially Gilmour and Barlow.
Pritchard 29 6/26 in a heartbeat another year if we can keep him playing and fit... i know there is no guarantee with any player..
Of the other 2 Burger is worth a discussion only Gomez can go as his fitness looks fragile. | | | |

Appearances and goals (last 4 clubs).
Will look forward with interest to see what quality he brings to the Dale.
Good Luck Ed!!!.

I suppose it depends on what league we are in. Gilmour is a no brainer but I suspect he will have lots of suiters. I think we need to upgrade the number 10 position so keep Burger and sign a starter using the salaries for McBride, Barlow and Mancini. | | | |

Well this is Francis early chance to impress.
Gilmour out for 4 weeks so slotting in there are big shoes to fill.
Thought he was a little off the pace v Brackley Tuesday night.. obviously needs time to adapt to the Dale way of playing.
This really is a big 3 weeks for this side.. onwards and hopefully upwards by the end of April. | | | |

I’m sure he can rise to the challenge .
I felt at times he was looking to receive the ball in a lot more advanced positions but simply never got it. | | | |

I think Petit has earned his place in the starting line-up. He was great when he came on at Brackley, bringing a lot of energy into the game along with the other subs.
If defensive midfielder Francis plays, I would like to see him be a bit more adventurous with his passing, instead of playing the short, sideways ball for most of the game. He's surely got a good pedigree with a Man City background to pick out some runners. Hopefully, he will once he gets settled into his role. | | | |

Yep..... he would n't become a 'Gilmour" overnight. Steady away. | | | |
