I have seen we are linked to Aaron Chapman, a goalkeeper who SE signed for Peterborough last summer. Don't think he got much game time after SE was sacked. He's a big lad,almost as tall as Holy en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Chapman |

Long time lurker, first time poster. Personally I think it's likely we'll look at some of the released players from clubs near to us - something we've typically done in the past. Three from Millwall might be interesting additions: Jordan Archer - GK en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Archer Conor McLaughlin - Rightback en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conor_McLaughlinRyan Tunnicliffe - Midfielder en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Tunnicliffe I know Archer has previously had success with Millwall in League One, but seems the fans turned on him after he got a little big for his boots, just as performances dropped. Could be worth a shout as I can't see a Championship club coming in for him or many better League One teams. McLaughlin has played over thirty times for Northern Ireland and experienced in the league. Tunnicliffe, I remember him signing for Fulham in the Championship from Manchester United, only to be sent out on loan as soon as the Cheese man Felix Magath took over. Good pedigree, league experience and probably at our level (or a little higher) with potential to go further. I'm not saying all of these positions are priorities, but all are a good age (mid-late twenties), free but almost certainly used to more money than Gills would be able to pay. |

The 3 millwall players mentioned above are the kind of players that would be within our compass. Jordan Archer is possibly the one that worries me the most due to some indifferent performances and fans were on his back. My mate who is a Millwall fan said they were divided about his ability. The other 2 mention Tunnicliffe and McLaughlin would be good signings for us.
But signing John Marquis would in my opinion make us certs for a top 7 finish. He got Doncaster Rovers to the play-offs and I just cannot see us finishing below that position this season if we signed him and with Evan's astute ability as a manager. We could be a real threat to the big guns next season.
I hope Evans has taken note of this. lol

I hope Evans has taken note of this. lol Why would John Marquis leave a club that will almost certainly be pushing for promotion, with gates much higher than us to come to Gillingham?. Also there will be a fee involved, and Donny turned down a £2m bid from Sunderland in January, but said they will sell if the price is right. £2m is out of our reach, so you might as well forget about Marquis coming to Gills. |

Kieron Agard from MK Don's is the latest to be linked to us. I don't know if Evans had him at Rotherham,as he was there.

If Agard is the quality of player Evans is looking to sign, I’ll be pretty happy

Evans tried to sign when he was Crawley Town boss, but he joined Yeovil Town instead. Evans did manage to sign him whilst he was managing Rotherham Utd.
I think he would a decent enough capture for us and think Evans probably got the best out of him too.

We've signed keeper Jack Bonham.
He kept 18 clean sheets last season.

Some fans are thinking that the young striker we will be taking on loan is Aaron Connolly who is at Toulon tournament and plays for Brighton

I am confident that Jack Bonham will be a much better keeper for the Gills, than Tomas Holy and help us keep more clean sheets.

Can’t pretend I know anything about him, but we needed a right back to replace O’Neil and he’s played at a higher level so hopefully strengthens us again.
