Not sure that there is any truth in the rumour the player himself dismisses it see links above.But that does not mean it is not true.But as it seems we are likely to have not that many places in the squad to fill any move for him does seem unlikely.However it would be rare if a gills manager did not go back to at least one former player.Willott seems more likely than most however it is likely that Newport have a few that could make the step up given the chance.Anyone know more or is this total rubbish as the player himself seems to think?

We do seem to have nobody who is as versatile as him who plays a attacking roll.Dickenson has dropped out of favour at least as a attacking force.

It seems to me that as he says in the article some fans were putting two and two together, and because he wasn't playing thought he might be joining us. Can't see there being anything in it and its just their fans getting worried

We do know that Newport's chairman are to cut funding by about half a million next season.It is very unlikely they will be able to make up this in any other way.So this being the case any player who is looking for a new contract is likely to look elsewhere.This may give us a good chance with any promising young players teenagers would be most likely targets.For us it is very unlikely we would want any senior pro's but a player under 24ish may be of interest.There are likely to be a few squad signing for next season.Young players who JE feels can step up or come down from a higher level to get a chance of 1st team football as has be the case of late.

I hope JE does stick to that plan of youth to continue us on that path stato, which has to be the way Forward for us.

I truly believe the whole idea was Scally's judging on Taylor's lack of belief in it or so it appeared.That being the case JE must have been sold it before taking the job and the pre appointment player backing for JE seems to point to it being Scally's idea too.
