    Well

    This seems legit, it's on WikiHow. Outstanding news.

    Interesting News Around the Football League

    He should have a lot of suitors in L1 I would think.

    Retained list

    I doubt Brad or our team would advertise we need 6 or 7 new arrivals. 1) The final number will be subject to some of our current players leaving which is not easy to say when they are on the books still and may have to stay if we can't find a suitor... 2) No club would advertise a buying spree...

    Retained list

    'Available for transfer' implies either MB/the club doesn't envisage them getting as much playing time next year (potentially, b/c there are others ahead of them in their positions), and/or they need to remove the wages (more likely) to make other changes. Along with Malone, these have to be...

    Gills Merchandise

    Good post - and I think this nails it on the head. The club I was referring to yesterday has proper partnerships with other organisations, which is clearly where the expertise lies. Mutual benefit but one which is driven by the ingenuity of the designers/producers, and informed by the club. I...

    So what type of players do you think we need given we now know the likely departures?

    I have a slightly different take - has he been caught out a few times when playing naturally at RB in a 4 (Morecambe, Harrogate spring to mind). He's solid in recovery but I think his defensive awareness isn't ideal and without the extra CB, he looks a little vulnerable to me at times. I'm...

    Retained List?

    Does anyone watch the younger players at all? Alex Giles and Sam Gale - how far away from being competent squad players are they? If Hawkins goes, that's also some presumptive cover at CB. If we can't replace from within, we need a fourth CB who can play there - potentially 5 if we are going 3...

    So what type of players do you think we need given we now know the likely departures?

    The way I see it is I'm happy we are promotion-possible at starting positions for: Turner (GK) Hutton (RB/RWB) Masterson (CB) Ogie (CB) Coleman (CDM) Williams (10/) Andrews (ST) At this point, I'm up for anyone who betters what we have in reserve. Very clearly we need wide men/pace, and...

    Clemence statement

    Still think Clemence will go on to prove us wrong at some point…

    Gills Merchandise

    https://retail.gillinghamfootballclub.com/ What are people's views on what we offer in terms of Gills Merchandise? I have bought the home shirt for each of the past 3 years (as a way to support the club from a distance, I suppose as I barely wear them!) but to me, sometimes feel like we're...

    Yeah, I hear you. I know many will. I find his colour commentary to be noise for the sake of it. I get it, it's radio. For me, less is more! Even my wife - who has no interest in football - says of the main commentary "Oh, is that the guy who says the ball has been "recycled" 8 times a game...

    So long as there's an option for crowd only noise or other Sky commentators. I know it's not popular, but I can't stomach any more Radio Kent...

    All time favorite Gills goals.

    There will be a lot of mention's of Tom Eaves' goal vs Pompey, rightfully so. I wasn't there for that one. I was there for the Luke Norris one which I think was one of the best I've seen given the circumstances and how hard he cracked it, against Sheffield United. Crazy late equaliser and...

    Summer transfer window news from in and around league two.

    Good signing for them. 2 year deal - I suspect - is more than was on offer at Stockport.

    January transfer rumours

    Not a rumour and based on nothing substantial but if I was the Gills team, I'd be on the phone to Blackburn Rovers to enquire about a season loan for Dilan Markanday. Rovers bought him for about half a million in 2022 from Tottenham but it just hasn't worked out for him yet with a lot of...
