Joe Gamble om Pats/Cork

**Dodge** · 23/04/2004, 2:58 PM

"I want to join a club that is ambitious and wants to win the league. I've sopken to Eamonn Collins and pat Dolan and both have impressed me. Pats have already given me a concrete offer and its an attractive one. But pat Dolan is coming over to see me playtomorrow against Leigh RMI - and we intend to have a chat afterwards. It's nice to have a few options. I'm Cork through and through but a concrete offer is a concrete offer. I'll decided what to do in the next few weeks."

Seems like he's waiting for Cork to make a decent offer.

Pat is going to have a chat with him him after the game. Hope he has an interpreter with him to sort through the ****e talk

Gamble has played for City when we were run like a bad school fair so I wouldnt be surprised if he was careful about joining us again.

In saying that he was in school with Sweeney so Im sure he's heard that we've changed a sh�tload since then.

We could do with him big time, as could Pats.

He's really the type of player we need alright, shouldnt have been alowd leave in the first place.

Come home Gamble!

**Dodge** · 23/04/2004, 3:13 PM

Remind me again, is he left or right sided?

Mainly centre as far as I can remember, but right footed.
Open to correction.

**Dodge** · 23/04/2004, 3:17 PM

Damn thought he was left sided...

thats not fair.....offer him K murray instead...he can play midfield and defence....

**Dodge** · 23/04/2004, 3:30 PM

Wouldn't swap Ndo for anybody else in this league. The lads a ****ing genius. Shame he's surrounded by mediocrity

you obviously haven't seen young kev play so.....if only you knew

Could stiull be a bit of a Gamble

on him cos who knows how hes progressed since leaving city. Playing in the Conference isn't likely to have dopne that much good....?

probably better than the way city are playing anyway.

Seriously?

Where the hell is he going to fit into the team? Doyler is a must in the form he's in at the moment. As is Flynn. Dolan seems to be a big Fenn fan. O'Callaghan isn't going to be dropped either. It's turning into a Kevin Keegan style team. All forward players and sh1te defence.

yeah, I'd saythat'll be it. CT will probably drop to right back then. Could work, but I'm a bit sceptical to be honest

CT isn't playing at the moment. Granted I think he should be, but where do people think Gamble will fit in? Midfield seems to have sorted itself out now. Well at least it's not as bad as the defence anway.

**Gary** · 27/04/2004, 5:40 PM

He only missed the last game due to suspension and will probably slot back into the first team in place of Sweeney against Bohs.

If Gamble has signed on - great. But verbally? Not worth the breath it was spoken in if it dont come to pass.

colin o brien cant be dropped

he was been one of our better performers this season

let gamble work for his place

agree completely, probably been our most consistent performer apart from Doyle.

Maybe Dolan should just bite the bullet, put Gamble in midfield with CT and push george up front with Fenn/Doyler (and then Flynn again when he's back)

although there's little point discussing it until we have a written agreement.
