Doug Loft has now agreed terms with Gillingham and it will be announced in the next 48 hours subject to a medical

If we do get Loft that will be a great signing. A possible new captain.

 

I'm not understanding the Captain bit?...why would we give that to an un-established new player in the Gillingham camp. Surely it would be Nelson's armband.

 

Agreed BRB, Taylor would be foolish to give the captaincy to an unknown.

Besides, I've hasn't even signed as yet and there's every chance he won't!

 

True GmAD. That football rumours site is not worth the paper it would have been written on pre-internet times.

The posting just before the "he's signed for gills" one, said he'd turned gills down to stay at vale. One of those two will be right

Or possibly a 3rd one - he's turned Gills down and signed with Colchester ...

 

Yes this would be a good signing. He does have a history of being beaten up by teammates though! ;-)

 

Very close to a done deal it seems

Certainly looks to be a good shout going by current twitter speculation

 

Has signed - on the Official Site - great news and big relief. Desperately needed someone like this.

 

just got home from work and looking at the comments on here, appears good news on another signing.

 

Really good news,Loft is exactly the sort of player we need.He can play in three different positions,and is Captain material.

 

Still relatively early days I know, but I'm becoming optimistic that we might actually have a better looking squad at the beginning of next season than we did at the beginning of last season.

Looks can flatter to deceive, but you've got to hope.

 

With Lofty replacing the departed mid-fielders, and McGlashen replacing Weston. If Aaron Morris turns out to be half decent across the back line (or DM) then I reckon if we can get one good CB, and one 'decent' striker to complement Keds and Cody we will indeed have a stronger looking line-up than last season.

On paper and in our minds that is...
