Surely we must at least be in for this guy! He is a gillingham fan and we have been fairly heavily linked for the guy great goal scoring record and is extremely powerful - this could be the good news we have all been waiting for - plus i would have thought he has somewhere else down South lined up to actually hand in a transfer request! Come on Hessy get him in and dont let Crawley snatch him from under our noses!
I am shocked to see him do this considering I know him I did not see this coming, I tried to ring him but can't get hold of him, but his dad has told me that we are in for him and that Charlton, Swindon and also Crawley are in for him, just hope we get him as then I will be able to speak to him on the side before the game and get to picture him getting a goal and get his autograph.
looks like a good signing hungry guy from non league who wants to play for the club, sounds good to me. shouldnt be mega bucks on wages be a good start but one player isnt gonna make the team
He was on good wage at AFC Wimbledon, well good for non league, his wage is currently £1,100 a week with a £70 Goal bonus and a £70 appearance bonus, we just need to beat this as I know he would love to play for us.
i would definitely delete your comment hoadie, cant see anyone being too pleased if it becomes public knowledge
There is no point it is true and Danny has just been speaking to me, he wants to join us, but he said his club want a good amount of money for him and you know with us, we don't always reach their price tags so he said it is out of his hands but if he was to choose any club it is us because his dad would be very angry if he turned us down he said.
Told you that I was not lieing as this tells us all we need to know, they may decline that we are after him but people at clubs always lie. http://www.kentnews.co.uk/p_12/Article/a_14396/Gills_coy_on_Kedwell_interest
Finally, it's looking like we might actually sign someone! So... this guy's scored a hatful of goals for AFCm presumably?
Yeah and I have seen him play many times and I would say he is not just the average scorer, he is not greedy, sets up a lot so if he was paired with someone who can get a lot aswell we would get loads of goals which would be great.
Yeah I know, he said that he wants to go to a bigger club, he said he was happy but when gills made an enqiury 2 weeks ago he thought I want to come here as he wants to come back to his home town where his dad lives and where his wife is from so that his kids can go to school in medway.
I'm not saying that HOADIE_BOI is lying, but thats's an extreme amount of money for a non-league footballer to be paid. £57k standard, and after checking his appearances and goals £3570 + £1680 bonus'. That's over £62k a year for someone not even classed as professional. I think you'd be hard pushed to find a Gills player who's wages match that level. I'm also sceptical as to why he would tell someone and break down in such detail his wages. I don't even know what my immediate families wages are! Once again, I'm not saying it's a lie, I just very much doubt it. All that being said, he seems to have been consistent for the last few years and with us having NO strikeforce right now, a welcome addition. There will, of course, be fans out there moaning about another non-league signing if he was to join.
My money is on him joining Crawley (as with every other available player!!) as they were after him previously. I note that he is alleged to be a Gills' supporter, but how far does that loyalty extend when it comes to money?
Them wages are nothing but utter crap!!! I live in Beechings Way in Twydall where his Dad lives, and he deff does not earn anywhere near that amount. Having said that I do believe he will be in a Gills shirt come August, just make sure he dont join the scum (Charlton).
Well that is what he said that we need to beat, ask his dad, I am not lieing that I know him as his dad used to be a semi pro footballer is a decorator, decorated my uncles house down Twydall few years ago and he is called trevor and he has a daughter aswell as Danny. Hope that is enough proof that I know them. OK I do agree that the wages are a bit far fetched but he is on good money I know that.
Blimey! He could walk to both the club and to the training ground from his dad's house and then back to his dad's for lunch. We will just have to wait and see how being a fan and being close the ground actually means anything when he signs on the dotted line. I suspect, very little.
I begged him but like he said that it will come down to the money offered as we have to match the price tag and the wage has to be good as he has a family to pay for.
