John Ward has been busy at the club this week finalising deals before he goes on holiday. Sources within the club have confirmed that 1 new player and a new assistant manager will be announced before the bank holiday weekend. Talks have been held with Edgar Davids for the position of assistant manager but it looks like the club may move on to there second target which is Colin Lee. Kaid Mohamed is wanted by Ward as he feels that a winger who can play up front is a top priority, the deal is likely to go through on tuesday next week. Bad news for GasHeads is that Steve Mildenhall looks likely to stay in the essex area with a host of londo based clubs trying to sign him on better terms than Rovers can offer. The club will have to look for another keeper with former Ipswich stopper Arran Lee-Barrett top of there wish list.

I'd have him at MK if we could afford him, which we couldn't, so stuck with Ifall McFlop we are then. Disaster :- (

Gillingham manager Martin Allen is wanting to bring in five players this summer for an play off assault on League 1.
A defender, two utility midfielders and two forwards are at the top of his list as he feels his squad is capable with a few additions.
Allen is keen on signing former player Luke Rooney. The 22 year old is a winger and left Gillingham in controversial circumstances last winter. The former Lewes loanee hasn't featured as much as he wanted to at The County Ground.
Allen is also looking for some experience in his midfield. He is believed to be wanting to sign out of contract Portsmouth player Johannes Ertl. The former Austria Wien player is wanting to stay in League 1 and Allen is keen on the fact he is now 30 years old with experience of playing in midfield and in defence.
The centre half Allen wants is Southend experienced defender Graham Coughlan. The 38 year old is currently player / coach at Roots Hall but with United not having a manager, his contract is under threat with it running out next month. The former Plymouth and Shrewsbury Irishman is also keen on one last chance in League 1 and could sign a one year playing deal at Priestfield after constructive talks.
The first striker linked with a move to Gillingham is Northampton forward Alex Nicholls. The 25 year old is wanted by Gillingham after not playing much for Town but the deal won't even be talked about until after the League 2 play off final on Sunday.
The second forward in question is a Premier League attacker. Norwich and former Gills attacker Simeon Jackson. The Canadian international is rumoured to be listening to Championship clubs with him being out of contract but Jackson, who was at Priestfield for two years could sign a short term deal to prove he's still got his fitness and pace.

Job a Shoot magazine for you mate.

SOD knows what he is doing at the gate, the club has been in poor shape for a couple of years. Best thing to happen relegation, clear the dead woodwood out, steady the ship and learn from the mistakes. I say follow Brighton model.

A few small rumours have been going around the last few days about Norwich interested in Steven Defour. Today there are numerous reports e. g. a web site. This would be massive signing!

Rumours circulating that norwich city have made a bid for steven defour of Porto. Would be a big singing, and city would have to hope that he will be available at a cut price, as his release clause of 50m is a long way ahead of what norwich can afford
