Big lost IMO.
and i, am very annoyed at his...very good player and one of my Fav's

Aye ... all discussions of future recruitment aside ... what a player Gilmour has been for us. Tremendous. I wish him all the best at Hudds and I'm sure he'll do well there. He's still good enough to do a job here but unfortunately the shape of the squad has done for him.

Thanks for a tremendous amount of effort and a good helping of class Gilly.

Gutted he is going.

Why is McManus quoting salary cap issues when the deal breaker was Gilly wanted 2 years and was only offered 1 year?

Whats our chaiman up to with this bit of verbal deception?

perhaps he has signed someone for 2011 and so can't afford gilly in that season? Mr Lyon perhaps??

Because the nature of the salary cap means that if Gilly is here somebody else has to make way or vice versa. In two seasons' time we'll probably have a few young players hunting bigger contracts.

Incidentally, I haven't seen any reports stating that he was offered a one year deal - it just says he was unable to secure a new contract at Saints.

I am sure I read one was not offered...
