Transfer targets

Gillingham agree $750.0K for Alezandro Da Silva

The clubs have shaken hands with Birmingham; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Transfer targets

An offer of $2.9M for Santiago Bueno

Gillingham have gone to Wolverhampton with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Remeao Hutton hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Gillingham can pretend not to have heard.

Gillingham promote Richard Williams from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Richard Williams has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

In brief
