Club privately not happy at all, had supposedly received assurances from his representatives...
Silly old cobblers. You’ve only signed a player when it’s down in writing.... What did they actually think he’s been up to for the last month

Can you divulge if he was offered 1 or 2 years with us?

Which fits in with the stories about them being "relaxed" about him signing a new deal. They may have been taken by surprise with this one by the sounds of it...and therefore wouldn't necessarily have a replacement lined up.

I must admit it made me chuckle He’s buggered about for a month when the others signed in a few days and it appears the club are stunned by developments....

Problem is can they find someone on a free transfer to play for the wages vadaine turned down? I agree there are better quality targetman out there , that’s a given... What isn’t is our ability to actually spend some cash and bring them in... Note to club.... Please don’t put all your eggs in the Callum Morton basket and then fall over in shock when he goes elsewhere leaving us with no striking options.... Maybe try to sign some proven league one strikers and add Morton if he becomes available. That way you won’t have your pants pulled down twice!!

That's a real shame, I liked him - he was a clever, hard working and mobile targetman, and there aren't that many around with all those attributes.

Why don't you email the club and ask them for a shortlist of all our targets? Be patient and stop panicking!

Some of these clubs are sticking too early, the right thing to do is twist, they’ll be plenty of options out there as time goes on. Personally I was always in 2 minds about Vadaine, it’s alright being a target man if you’ve got someone of Morton’s caliber playing off you? However 5 goals in league 2 don’t cut it in league 1 if you ain’t got someone playing alongside you banging them in? Great player, if we sign Morton, as your stand alone striker he isn’t anywhere near prolific enough, especially in league one? Gillingham are going to have to sign someone special to get the best out of him?

I think Oliver would have been as asset to keep, but he's only going to be of use for you if you play a particular way, so Gillingham will either have to go to long ball football next season or not really get a lot out of him.

Should have offered Willo something. Whilst I appreciate that was always unlikely, we will miss his cameo appearances and goals all the more now

Great target man, but not a great goalscorer. Surprised that he chose to leave a successful club with which he played an important role after only a year...especially as I am not aware that he was a great succes with previoius clubs. But money talks at the end of the day. Sorry to see him go, but we have Smith who is not dissimilar. With Williams also leaving and Morton an outside chance, KC knows that he needs a couple of good 'goal scorers'...plus.
If they dont want to stay...we dont need them to play!

As with all the players who have left it is a case of waiting to see who comes in to replace them before we can judge if they are good decisions or not. It can’t be denied that it isn’t looking great at the moment particularly with the Goode and Morton/Wharton situations likely to drag on. It’s not great for the pride either to be turned down in favour of Gillingham and Evans!
