Holloway Waits For Kevin Gallen's Decision

-
Plymouth Herald - Holloway on Kevin Gallen
"...Meanwhile, Holloway is awaiting the outcome of talks with striker Kevin Gallen over a possible move to Argyle.
Gallen, 31, has been offered a one-year contract by Holloway after a four-month loan spell with the Pilgrims at the end of last season.
The striker, who was released by Queens Park Rangers in May, has recently returned from a holiday in the United States.
Holloway said: "It's down to him to decide, but I think he covers all sorts of areas.
"I think he gives us something that, possibly, we might not have. If it happens then great, if not we will move on.
"I'm a great admirer of his, and I think I'm someone he feels he can learn a bit from."
Gallen is thought to have other offers on the table which are closer to his home in London, and that could be a factor.
Holloway said: "Kevin's brothers have both had to retire through bad backs and, obviously, with our exceptional amount of travelling, we have had to be careful with his situation.
"All I do know is that he trusts how I train people, and he trusts that I can get him fit."
Holloway continued: "I would only give him a short-term contract because of his age. It's whether that suits him and his family situation.
"We are trying to get to that point. Whether we do or not, who knows?" Plymouth Herald

[And from July 3 - Plymouth Evening Herald - GALLEN SET TO DECIDE FUTURE 03 July 2007
Striker Kevin Gallen is ready to make a decision on his future after returning from a holiday in the United States.Plymouth Argyle have offered Gallen, 31, a one-year contract following his four-month loan spell at Home Park at the end of last season. Gallen was released by Championship rivals Queens Park Rangers in May and Argyle manager Ian Holloway is keen to secure his signature.
However, it is thought Gallen, who can also play in a midfield role, has other offers on the table.
Argyle chief executive Michael Dunford told Herald Sport: "We have had initial talks with the player and his representative.
"He (Gallen) has only just got back from holiday and I wouldn't anticipate hearing anything more until the middle of the week."
Gallen made a total of 16 appearances for Argyle last season, including nine starts, and scored two goals....
Holloway has dismissed speculation linking him with Watford centre-back Clarke Carlisle, who has previously played for him at Queens Park Rangers.
One national newspaper reported at the weekend that the Pilgrims were lining up a £100,000 move for Carlisle.
But Holloway said: "It's absolute rubbish. As far as I'm concerned I have got some decent centre-halves. His name hasn't even popped into my thoughts at all."
