Why are there so many people obsessed with Ronnie Moore and Bexley Boy?
I'm assuming most of you are adults, properly fkin weird lads.

Following the recruitment of Arter, if we want to improve on our midfield/forward options either now or in January, we will need to shift some bodies. We will have something like 18 players on the pay roll for just six positions and not too many teams at out level carry that many.

I’d love to run Nixon’s Twitter account for a day. I reckon no-one would be able to tell the difference and I wouldn’t have to speak to a single player/agent/manager. He’s basically a modern day fortune teller. ‘The mists are clearing…you’re looking to get a midfielder over the line, but costs could be an issue’.6

Hopefully Ronnie’s absence from training has been for him to get himself fixed up elsewhere and we can bring in another striker - definitely needed in my opinion15

Dobson left out of the squad yet 2 centre half’s on bench is a strange one to keep an eye on as well if we are doing some wheeling and dealing - no info just a guess2

Probably more due to how injury prone our starting CBs areDOUCHER said:Dobson left out of the squad yet 2 centre half’s on bench is a strange one to keep an eye on as well if we are doing some wheeling and dealing - no info just a guess0 -

Ruthless yet necessary. For me the biggest disappointment out of our signings so far. But who knows maybe this will help him turn it around, football is strange like that.DOUCHER said:

Don't see us taking the time and trouble to source and pursue Dobson just to dump him a few weeks later. More likely we already had four midfield/striking options on the bench in Lee, Davison, Clare and Taylor so if we had put Dobson on there too then that would have left us with just one out and out defender. Chances are that had we been away against better opposition Dobson would have come in for one of those four.DOUCHER said:Dobson left out of the squad yet 2 centre half’s on bench is a strange one to keep an eye on as well if we are doing some wheeling and dealing - no info just a guess3 -

Was definitely just dropped - He was out doing some running / fitness drills before the gameTodds_right_hook said:

And that is the benefit of having more options. With Arter, Gilbey, Purrington and eventually JFC returning, more players will lose their place in the 18 so we can drop/rest players who are either not good enough or simply out of formricky_otto said:

Short quote from Dempsey here when asked about interest from other clubs.0

Pearce might be on the way out?SouthWest_Addicks said:
The fact we’ve played Deji over Pearce twice, makes be think we won’t go for a CB in the window.J BLOCK said:0 -
Only recently signed a new deal which included giving him a route into coaching so I don’t see him going anywhere.carly burn said:

Take it with a big pinch of salt but someone on Facebook claimed Pearce was told he’d be 5th choice this season. Would explain the Omole loan link if true, he’s a left footed CB rather than a natural left back. It would also mean we have plenty of depth if Elewere needs break or we pick up a few injuries. We don’t want to be playing Gunter there again.4 -
Reckon Pearce is taking that same role that Andrew Crofts and Paul McShane have at Brighton / Man Utd respectfully.
Seems that clubs are bringing back experienced pros at the end of their careers who know the club, yet are simply signed up to be there as a senior figure for the youngsters in U23 games - Isnt that bad an approach, just Arsenal are doing it with their First Team5 -
Who says Pearce will be a good coach tho, can't say I want his brand of defending passed on to the next generation!7

Deji is right footed so the obvious replacement for Innis otherwise with Pearce and Fanewo we'll have two left sided centre backs.carly burn said:

Deji looks very promising but wouldn't want to throw him in if Innis is long term injured so an experienced centre back would be nice.
Or maybe he'll be another Paul Elliot and shine.1 - Sponsored links:

Yeah so I don’t see him spending another £1m+ on top of the 800k approx. Already spent 👍🏼J BLOCK said:
Why? He's spent that on Stockley and Kirk this summer already.Maccn05 said:
I don’t see TS stumping up £1m+ and it’s the Sun.J BLOCK said:
Not sure why you think it's totally out of the realms of possibility. As others have said, 'the72' is fairly reputable with transfers. I do agree with you though, my view on this summers recruitment will change if we pull this off.Maccn05 said:
I don’t believe this to be true at all but if it is then I’ll finally believe TS is serious about creating a promotion capable squad. We’d still need a left back. & striker thoughJ BLOCK said:
feels more like Gills trying to stump up some more interest. Never know they may get desperate on Tuesday if the need the cash0 -
It's a fair point about Pearce but playing style doesn't necessarily transfer to coaching.
George Graham the manager would never have picked George Graham the player, for example.
John Beck is one of the FAs lead coaches of the UEFA coaching badges and I haven't seen a team play like his in over 25 years.7 -
According to the link posted about Dempsey replying to transfer speculation, ive just read the few comments and someone said he'd fetch £250k whilst someone else said they'd heard he wants to leave by deadline day. Can all be taken with a pinch of salt I guess, or some Gills fans just being realistic?Maccn05 said:

We should get Danny Hylton in from Luton as a back up to Stockley. I used to watch him at Aldershot when Charlton were away. In 50 years of watching football I’ve never seen a player try so hard - he is a direct ( but not as good) equivalent of Stockley - very physical loves a battle - not much pace but can score wonder goals from distance and good with his head - brave ( mad) as a lion - The crowd would love him - sometimes !!2
