Although there has been no official announcement some of our usual suspect posters are already assuming the terms of his contract. There are loads of top footballers who have problems with addictions, drink, drugs, old prostitutes etc. Would you give the likes of Joey Barton or Wayne Rooney a chance if they had a quiet word with Bignot or would this clubs ethos (still not sure myself what this is BTW) stand in the way. If he misses the coach to a game is that worse than some of the leeches we have who get the coach and do F##k All on the pitch at the other side?

Give the lad ago on a week to week deal. Nothing to lose. We need to shake things up. See that Nile Ranger has been given the boot again ...what a waste of space he is

Roberts isn't a top footballer? he has shown glimpses of ability some time ago. if employing a tradesman to do a job around your house would you still employ them if the references from their last job were poor... no... chances are you wouldn't even though 5 years ago they did that job well.... we all hope a signing player will bring the quality a side needs, had his previous club sung his praises and wanted to keep him it would be a different matter.... to me this is a risk and i hope he is on a pay as you play deal.

Definitely worth a gamble. According to the Chronicle looks like he is set to sign next week.

In all seriousness, are we comfortable with his spells in Malta with Floriana and Mosta. That being in addition to his recent spell with Bangor? ??

Past is the past - the good thing about playing for us is a fair few of his close mates are Chester fans, they'll help him and support him. Give the lad a chance. We literally could not get any worse, he's not going to cost us anything nor will he set the world on fire but will add a few to the crowd and 100% will show more pride for that shirt than any of the current shithouses robbing a living. Supporting Chester eh. A fanbase confused by it's own ethos.

I think Gary will add some midfield creativity, something lacking at the moment. He also seems to have an eye for goal.

I think that's a byproduct of the situation the lad's got himself into. Vaughan loves people like him because he knows he can use them. Get what he wants out of them and then when it goes wrong, cast them aside and use their past to make a public scapegoat of them. If you've got a problem, working with a crook like Vaughan is never going to solve it. Maybe a better environment like our club could? I'm coming round to it actually. I groaned at first when I saw this, but the lad obviously has talent and we really haven't much to lose.

I don't know the lad but I see that he had his contract terminated by no less than 4 league clubs for disciplinary reasons - he's got a lot to prove and I hope the club and those on here who have championed him are not let down.

We're in last chance saloon at this level, so I suppose desperate times call for desperate measures. If he stays off the drink and out of the bookies and finally knuckles down then he might start to be a decent player for us. However, he's spent too many years pissing his career up the wall, he's 31yrs old now, he needs to start acting his age. I just hope we have several clauses in any deal with him that if he steps out of line he's gone. That would include making sure he is banned from all bookies in or around the City for one. Plus monitoring his drinking as well. I would imagine the deal he'll be on will be pay as you play. You can't put a clause in his deal to ban him from pubs and betting shops. If he's serious about playing for his home town club his abstinence from alcohol and gambling will have to be a personal decision. The alternative that he'll know from his own experiences will to for his employer to say thanks, but no thanks.

It is quite possible to ban yourself from all bookies. All you need to do is go into one of each firms office ; Ladbrokes, Wm hill, corbetts ect and state that you wish to be excluded. You then give them a picture of yourself which will be behind the counter in full view of the staff, who will inform you that they cannot allow you into the shop.Another way would be to email all of the head offices of every betting firm (sending your picture as an attachment) and they will send out a banning order to every shop they have. Regarding the drinking. You can do the same by getting in touch with 'pub watch' stating your reasons for wishing to be excluded i;e drink problem and wishing to abstain. They will inform every landlord that you cannot be served. Take these measures and it would go a long way to sorting someone out. Of course there is a need to look at who you knock about with, because this is also an area where people with addiction problems fail. But ultimately it is down to the individual to want to change in the end.

I'm all for it. I've never met the man, but is he's a local boy who is doing good work in his community, he deserves our backing.
If he steps out of line, he'll be gone. But we probably can't afford to refuse a quality footballer on presumably low wages.

He did well at Southport. Worth a chance on a week to week contract. See if he can prove himself. We need all we can get.

Could be an inspired signing, could be a disaster, can't tell which we'll be getting.

Seeing as Blacon has a population of over 13,000 should the club be making future home games all ticket?

Seeing as Blacon has a population of around 13,000 it would be great to actually have it involved within the club, use it. Most don't see Chester as their club around here - there's a reason for that. It should be the focus of the club to get into the community around here more. Seriously, the interest and talk from this signing from Blaconites is the most I've seen for the club.

Given Gary's well documented problems and poor track record with other clubs , as well as his association with the Vaughans this signing shows just how desperate the position the Club has become. On the other hand he has ability, something to prove and clearly everyone loves a reformed local hero. So on balance what have we got to lose ?

Swearing or defining someone based on a post on a forum - I know which I'd prefer to be doing.👍
