...and Paul Gascoigne has decided not to sign for Maltese side MARSAXALOKK,

so can we convince him for £200 a week? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[David Holden]

I heard that he was talking to Terry V. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

As a gills fan, i would love to see Ade play for you guys <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Its a shame you missed out on Patto though <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

[David Holden]

Hopefully we will make Patterson regret his decision on Saturday

I thought Pennock had been forced to retire through injury...?

[Guest]

Yes, from proffesional football. Just like Patto did last month...

[Stu B]

From what i've heard and found out he seems a good player but do you think he will be better than the current defenders(from what i hear probably) but will he be better than duku and barnett?i know duku will be out for a few months yet and then will take time for him to regain match fitness(so may well miss the whole season) so Pennock would seem a good signing but can you see him getting into the team next season or is this only a short term deal?

Fleet Boy - Pennock is easily Div.2 standard, admittedly he didnt quite have the pace for first division football, but i would personally count him far better (quality if nothing else) than what gravesend currently have to offer , and would be a great asset to you guys. (i still think he has league football in him to be honest)

 

First and foremost adie is a good footballer (not just defender), and our terrace chant was 'adie pennock football genius <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ', he can play as centre-back, right-back, sweeper and i would fancy that he could do well in midfield. he is composed, reliable and in the conference would be quality, not to mention a great guy to have around and a crowd entertainer!!

 

Of course this is all depending injury hasnt ruined him, but i dont think that it is the case. His contract was coming to an end, his fitness was not at 1st division level, so for the sake of his football he has moved on (because he certainly wouldnt have got back in the gills squad). Here's hoping he will be in the Red shirt soon <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

ok,thanks for the info. he sounds like he could be yet another good signing by andy(lets forget hamid barr,akpo etc....), i hope he does well. One other thing that worries me,he doesnt seem to have played recently(by looking at stats),how fit is he?

Capturing Pennock would be great for the club not only as he is a great player who's experience could be passed down to the younger members of the squad, but also as his signing may attract a few more people to Stonebridge Road. My only fear is that it would be more likely that we lose a useful and popular member of our squad, Craig Wilkins. Having a member of the squad that is so versatile is especially useful in time like this where we have a huge list of injuries and suspensions which seems to be growing all the time.

However on the other hand if Craig does leave (which hopefully he won't), or whether he doesn't ,it would be a shame to miss out on signing someone such as Pennock

[David Holden]

Before we get too excited, let's remember that we haven't signed him yet.

 

There are other clubs interested in signing him, including, I understand, one from across the water.

[The Doctor]

Surely he wouldn't leave lovely, green kent for that scum of an island? and oh yeah, conference footy <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> not ryman premier

After having read Andy's comments I think we should pull out the stops to sign in our defence has leaked 12 goals in the last three games. Mind you on the games I have seen this year I think we need a target man for the others to feed off. The next three home games could well seal our fate for the season.
