    Do we need another Striker?

    For the time being, I feel that we have enough players. Let us see how they perform first of all before we start having a knee-jerk reaction

    Birchall out for 'months' - absolute nightmare!

    At this point in time there is no need to panic and go out and sign loan players etc. We have a decent squad, let's see what they can do first before we decide to sign other players. We do not have a one man team and there is no guarantee that loan players will be any better. UTG

    Pre season nerves

    Bichall's news is certainly a set back but we surely did not expect going through the season without any injuries to any of our players. With the number of friendlies that we have played so far, it is inevitable that someone would pick up an injury. However, our squad is strong and I feel that...

    Bad news...

    It certainly is a set back but with our current squad it may not result in a bad start to the season. Let's keep positive.

    Birchall out for 'months' - absolute nightmare!

    I just wish that he makes a full recovery from his injury as quickly as possible. I agree with Gillsoxon it is time fro Rooney,Payne and Oli to step up to the plate and make their presence felt.

    Best Squad??

    Worse squads have got us promoted and better squads have failed to do so. It's all about how the players will work together and what the Manager can get out of them. Having said all this, I feel very confident that with this squad and the energy that it has already generated amongst the fans...

    GFC to buy back ground!

    I really don't like the sound of this at all. Why sell quickly @ £1m and why not put it on the open market? Is the Bank now applying a great deal of pressure on the Club to reduce the debt in light of all of the signings that have been made. I have mentioned in previous posts why some of the...

    Adam Birchall Bid Accepted

    This is splendid news if the deal come off. I will not be putting my house on us winning the League though as anything does and will happen during the course of the season. Like Gills79 I do have similar doubts about the state of the Club's finances and just do not know where the money has come...

    Obersteller

    Who would have had to make way for Obersteller? It is very difficult to accommodate new players when the budget may have already been met, or exceeded. Only Hessy and the Chairman know what the budget is and they won't be saying anything.

    July 12th and 13th.

    I would imagine that by fielding a Gillingham XI that Hessy will be giving some of the youth players a run out together with the some of the players that we retained from last season who did not make the first Xi on a regular basis.

    Player Wages

    I know that we got rid of eight players but from memory we did not get anything for them, so, the overall saving was there wages alone Yet, we have signed several players and maybe some of these players wages are not as large as the players that we got rid of. (Are you following me so far?) but...

    Hendon Joins West Ham!

    These links may help. It may be that the club are have delayed making the announcement until a replacement is in situ. http://www.kentsportsnews.com/News-(1)/Football/News---Gillingham/July-2011/Gills-begin-search-for-new-number-two.aspx...

    Cody to Posh seems to have fell through

    What I cannot understand is where the money has come from to buy our players. One minute we are talking of budget cuts and then we get rid of 10 players (none sold?) and yet, a few weeks later the club has splashed out and bought several players and yes, I did raise my eyebrows! My own view is...
