Latest Rumours January & Beyond Transfer Rumour Thread

[amsemp]

Bridge has discovered his best form by playing a very niche role for us. He doesn’t play as an out and out winger so he’s not really someone you could chuck into any old system and expect to get these sort of performances out of him. Maybe that’ll work in our favour, especially if we’re quoting silly money to potential admirers. I still don’t think he’d really want to leave anyway.

I see that as a plus point for us. Good for his confidence and good for as we have a top 6 player in our team.

Olly Hawkins has just signed for gillingham from Mansfield, I still think we should of snapped him up when he was at Portsmouth and available if we weren’t banned from signing players, would of been a great signing here.

Gillingham are despearte to avoid relegation. A couple of decent signings may turn their season around.

The days of a striker being purely measured by the amount of goals they score are thankfully over. In the modern game they need to be far more than just people on the end of a cross, and Cardwell and Powell give the team an awful lot, and visiting scouts will know that.

Wouldn't mind betting Cardwell will start scoring more regularly too, I've been really impressed by him.

You have defined a forward not a striker

Richard Cadette was a striker
Roy McDonough was a forward

The Gills have defo been looking at Bridge and Lopata, dont forget Harris has numerous friends that regularly watch our games and feedback to him has been to keep an eye on Bridge and Lopata

Annoyingly for us i feel they both could easily make that step up and if i was a scout watching these 2 lately id be all over signing them

You'd think they'd probably have flagged up the performances of Miley and Hobson too.

Plenty have stated that they wouldn't want Dieng in a relegation scrap (don't really get that personally as I felt he played his best football at CB for us) but I would definitely be considering signing Miley for a relegation scrap!

Not really a step up though. Gills bottom of L2…

Glen made 18 appearances on loan to Gills last year and a few seasons back was with them on a 2 year deal
Apparently hes been excellent for them and Crawley, Good and experienced back up keeper

League Football > Non-League

 

[Fairport]

tre muiti millon owner all the money in the land .What position do they hold in leauge two rock bottom

But they have EFL status and we have fixtures against Dorking and Altrincham in non league football.

League Football > Non-League

In status, yes. In reality the top 6/7 of the National League would do terrible things to teams 18th and below in League Two. So it's not really a step up in terms of the quality of football.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

League Football > Non-League

That mirrors my thoughts but the loss 0-4 to Harrogate Town on the 1st game of the season made me pause & think for a while ............

Perhaps top of the league below > bottom of league above?

You have defined a forward not a striker

Richard Cadette was a striker
Roy McDonough was a forward

That's an interesting idea/concept.

So was Brett Angell a striker & Benji a forward?

 

[TrevorFitzpatrickHattrick]

I think sometimes people forget that footballers have a relatively short shelf-life. All this talk about "why would they drop to a lower league and sign for them?!" is a far too simplistic viewpoint. If a player (particularly in the lower leagues) is offered a long-term deal with plenty of incentives and a good base salary, they'd be mad not to consider it. Very few players share the same loyalty that we have as fans towards our clubs.

Like Mark Bentley of course

Close enough. Striker’s need a selfish streak and get plenty pf goals. Forwards score goals and create opportunities for others.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Great isnt it when youve got a new multi million pound owner, who also seems excellent with the fans and media and shows massive enthusiasm, plus not under annual embargoes

And we have Ron

We may have Ron but we don't have to live in Gillingham.
