Rumours

BoyWonder2

2024, the year of the Shrimpers ⭐🦐
Well I've just been browsing League2 and have come across this post from "rowhst101rhall". It reads:

Rumours on the Southend message board this afternoon suggest Gower is set for a move to Hull at the end of the season. As he signed a 1 yr extension to his contract last year a fee would be involved, but I don't see him as Championship material yet!

What do we think? Anybody else heard this rumour?
 
Ive heard of it but dont believe it, it seems every decent player we have gets linked with an ex manager...

No doubt the Tilly to Peterborough rumours will start up soon!!...

It looks like Hull will go up and I don't think Gower would cut the mustard at that level. Jesus, he isn't even fit enough to last a game in league 2!

Although he has, at times, been brilliant this season, his general performances have not matched those of last year. I would not say he is in line for player of the year, for instance. I would be far more concerned if Barrett or Gray went.

Usual rumour mill methinks.
 
Im over on said website a fair bit and i know Kev 'rowhst101rhall' and he is actually mates with Tilly so i'd tend to believe him more than most of the stuff put on here ...

Judging by his performance at Cambridge, he'd struggle to make the Canvey team, ok maybe not that bad.

Championship? Having a larf'
 
If this rumour is true, would Gower stay with us ? Hull can offer him a better contract than us, better level of football etc. What do 99% of footballers do ? Go where the money is.
 
So? true he has shown moments of brilliance but his average performance has been pretty mediocre to be honest. I thought we should get a new winger and if his sale can pay for one, then let hime go!

I don't want to really see Gower go (he's been getting a lot of unfair bad press on here over the past couple of weeks for some reason & I thought he played fairly well v Rochdale & again OK before he tired in the heat @ Cambridge) but as FBM says this could be a particularly sharp bit of business. Around £75k in + picking up say Devaney from Cheltenham will more than compensate for L1 (hopefully) next season.

I doubt we'll get Devaney - he's been rumoured with Leicester and Burnley.

He says in the Echo that he can play on either wing.

And comes across as if he has a big ego

gower has not been taking on people and beating them recently. and as for tracking back and getting his foot in, dont even go there. i for one feel he has been a passenger recently. take the dosh wish him well and send him on his way
