Won player''s player of the season at Exeter this year. Not a glamour signing but I''m not going to slate him cos I don''t know anything about him and let''s be honest we can''t expect big names.

Exactly. You lot should be ashamed, here is a binner talking more sense than you.

Gill is Norwich Born, desperate to play for Norwich, and I cant wait to see him giving 100% for the cause and celebrating in front of the Barclay like he has found himself in a Roy of the Rovers annual.

[quote user="Jim Smith"]Lets not start slating this signing before we''ve even seen him play. At the end of the day he is a Norwich boy who will be desperate to prove himself at his hometown club and he should at least give a t*ss unlike several others who have played for us in recent years![/quote]

Exactly, we haven''t even seen this man play for Norwich City and already we are slating him. We get what we are given.

If he actually wants to be here and bothers to put in some effort he will be light years ahead of some of the dross we saw pull on the shirt last season.  We may all wish for better, but sadly this is the sort of signing we are going to have to get used to for a while until someone comes along to inject new life/cash into the club.

All those being negative here should just read the comments on the exeter board posted by citylad in one of the threads on here. Not a bad word said about this lad in any of the comments.

We are a league 1 club now. We are not going to be spending £1 million on any one player any more. I for one see this as a positive start to what will hopefully now be a busy period which sees 4 or 5 players arrive ahead of pre-season.

Whilst I am disappointed that Kaka has chosen Real Madrid rather than coming and buying the club and being player/manager I think that we all need to live in the real world......we are a third division club with no money. Give the lad a chance I say.

One of the things the Exeter supporters say on the forum someone posted a link to, is that he has a fantastic ''engine'' keeps himself busy and he can pass a ball.Last season too many of our players were laxidazical and seemed to be strolling about at times - if this guy is anything like Holt in terms of his fitness and work rate and can pass a ball at least as well as Mulryne then we have a half decent player on our hands at worse.Whilst my breath has not been stolen by this signing I am quietly optimistic in that he is a hard working passing player that has experienced winning. Plus he knows the area and will want this move to work out - possibly to be where he ends his career too. He is not a player looking for a final wage packet before retiring or a young player looking for a stepping stone to greater things. We represent the biggest club he has signed for and possibly could be the biggest he will sign for.If what their fans are saying is true he will cost far less than Fotheringham and if he can tackle AND pass he will already be a better player.

Even after all these years there is no press conference quite like a Norwich City press conference, the feeling of being completely, totally and absolutely underwhelmed.

Listen mate I am as critical of the club as most on here and obviously am not happy at whats been going on but the immediate criticism from some on here of a signing just because most of us don''t know much about him is symptomatic of what we, as a set of fans, have become which is died in the wool moaners. yes we''ve hd a lot to moan about but there is a dnager it bacomes a mindset which then becomes very difficult to get out of.

He may turn out to be cr*p but the indications from Exeter fans are that he''s a good lad and they are very sorry to lose him so lets give him a chance shall we?

We are not going to be signing players for big money this summer. If Clingan goes then maybe we may spend a bit on a replacement and maybe we might find a couple of hundred grand for Lee but other than that we are reliant on picking up one or two bargains. We''d best all get used to that!

You mean Fozzy cant really be much worse? 

I defo agree with what your saying though. Apparently Gill was on less that £1,500 at Exeter. So he wouldnt be on much more than £2,500 here. I am pretty certain that Fozzy was given 7k a week last year (source:- club employee).

Which is exactly what I think of you, so we are only going to go around in circles with this one.

A minority? You mean the same minority you were siding with a few short weeks ago?

Your opinion changes like the wind.

And Ryan, get a life. I am curious to know why the club can do no wrong in your eyes? Also your "source" (club employee) is complete bullsh*t.
