    So lets ALLLLLLL agree that Jonny Williams agent fed this signing to the Sun in order to make it public knowledge and see if there was any last minute interest in his client.

    Looks like he was moving up here for the money but got a better deal and can now remain down south.

    The poisonous dwarf.

    If you look at 18 year olds moving away from home, to go to University. Young people joining the Armed Services and being posted abroad. Then it seems bizarre that footballers cannot move for a reasonably well paid job.

    I just hope we have at least signed the Crewe lad.

    Invest every last penny of this deal in trying to tempt Pattison from Harrogate.

    I did and it won’t change my opinion of it.

    Gillingham’s away end could soon be a thing of the past, shock horror.

    Half of the uncovered Town End at Priestfield Stadium is currently closed off due to damaged flooring and dangerous after years temporary use. ( Jan 2023)

    Hopefully they will divert funds to ensure away fans get decent accommodation?

    Think you way off the mark there - 18 year old students don't have a wife, mortgage or kids in school to consider.

    I'd move countries if someone was offering me footballer money.

    Not even a question.

    Continents even.

    It's funny how this signing was the best thing since sliced bread but now it has fallen through the lad's a mercenary and a bad egg.

    I wonder how BCAFC twitter and facebook would be reacting if he was going to Gillingham but then we snatched him from them at the last minute.

    I don't know about you, but I find it more likely Bradford City fans might cheer for him and sing his praises as a Bradford City player than as a Gillingham player?

    I'm not sure City fans have the same affinity for Gillingham signings ;)

    money mate nothing to do with tempting him.Its footy mate and agents I have been to Gillingham and to be fair If I lived in Kent I would stay there its miles away and a big upheaval. I left home at 16 so no issues from me ..... and he gets away 23 times a season at least away matches

    Not sure why Parker had to mention the club paying for the hotel room. Jeez it makes us look like we’re skint. What was it £200 - £250 top end? Surely we’re not looking to claim it back from him.
    As others have said, his agent has done a cracking job for his client so can’t blame him really. I wonder if he gave the club chance to match the Gillingham offer, if not, we know what his real intentions were from the off. Time to go to plan A version 2, because his calibre is exactly what’s needed and will be needed to get out of this league. Plan B’s just won’t cut it.

    By the way, I can see Gillingham being there or thereabouts with Harris having a full preseason and money in kitty.

    Come on, you are old enough to know how football tribalism works.

    TBF he has shown his character. He wasnt interested in our project and was clearly only coming for a pay day.
