  SWINDON Town have yet to decide whether they want to keep forwards Nicky Ajose and Mohammed El Gabas beyond their initial deals which expire in January.

Or, in other words, El Gabas and Ajose are only contracted until January. We'll decide to extend or not then.

Bit of a non story.

[sonicyouth]

I can't see the point in keeping both if Storey is likely to feature. I'd love to keep Ajose but can't imagine us being able to afford him on a permanent deal and we'll have competition to keep him on loan.

Obviously, much of this will heavily depend on the outcome of Ranger's trial - is it likely to be concluded by the end of the transfer window? I don't remember when it starts.

[LucienSanchez]

If we can get someone good, I'm happy for El Gabbas to be binned. If not, might as well give him cameos until the summer, just in case he remembers how to coordinate his legs.

[jayohaitchenn]

Hopefully we can sign Ajose, not seen enough of El Gabbas to decide on him, but first impressions aren't the best.

[london_red]

Agree about El Gabbas, but it's difficult to judge him on these 10-15 minute cameos. Don't think he's even had 90 minutes worth of football in the league this season.

[suttonred]

I tend to think players like El G If they are going to succeed, do something out of the ordinary  pretty quickly, even if they only do cameos. If that one that hit the post had gone in, who knows, he might have had 6 or 6 after a run in the team by now. he hasn't though, so I tend to think unless he bangs in a couple against Wycombe he'll be off.

[tans]

Sorry about the above I was saying that neither player has done enough for a contract , but we do need someone to be 3rd and 4th striker . I also think that ward needs to be replaced , last year his backside was coverd by Flint

Yeah, alright then

[Abrahammer]

I can't see the point in keeping both if Storey is likely to feature.

I cant honestly see this happening much even with the policy these days of blooding youngsters, just a gut feeling.

Lets be honest Ajose is twice the player of Storey at the moment, i'd be quite happy to get Ajose for longer even if it meant Miles being a bench warmer at the best

[TheMajorSTFC]

Sort of answers what I posted yesterday on another thread; thought El Gabas was on a 6 month contract, so unless he impresses in the potential limited opportunities he'll have between now and then I think he'll be off.

Would take Ajose over Storey anyday
Not looking long term purely for the now
Storey may well turn into a decent striker but I think Ajose has a lot more to his game
All depends on how much Posh want I suppose.

Am hoping El G gets a long run out at Macclesfield and Wycombe as these short 15 min bursts arent showing us what Cooper obv sees.

[Dr Pierre Chang]

Ajose v El Gabas and Storey is of course a no contest.

El Gabas v Storey - from what I have seen are very similar, headless chickens with a poor first touch.

Unless El Gabas does something in matches before January, and I'm sure he'll get a chance - he will be gone. Storey will hopefully either extend his Salisbury loan or ideally get a League 2 club for the remainder of the season.

El-Gabbas has 6 caps for Egypt. There is something there.

Only saw him play at Preston and when he came on he gave us something very different, energetic and showed some nice touches.

Interesting Dany N'G looked like our own version of Heskey in that game, big burly but with limited strength and fell over a lot!

DNG looks a quality signing, and sounded a nice chap in the interview after the game, too.
