This is the key part of the article: "the Gills may only register players until the end of the season, while loans are limited to half a season. They cannot pay loan fees or additional wages to a loanee on top of their normal salary - however, neither of those conditions are likely to affect Gillingham." Very true, Akinde was the first player we paid money for in about 6 years. Loans I wouldn't expect Scally to hand any cash over for anyways so it's only the one year deals for permanent signings that is a pain.
