Ok so at the moment as the start of the season gets close we still have no goal scorers in sight, we have shored up the defense and done nothing up front,maybe we will score as many as 40 goals this coming season ? I keep reading things like what a great club the Gills are, how there looking to be a favorite to go up this coming season,I wonder if any team has gone up by scoring 40 goals and letting in 0 ?

[Garawa]

Definitely no as that would likely be 20 or 30 wins by a 1-0 or 2-0 scoreline and the rest 0-0. Or perhaps it could be 42 points from 42 scoreless draws and 4 wins by a 10 scoreline and we just avoid relegation, ha ha.

There are new unannounced faces in Como at the moment so we are likely to have players in the door but have not announced until all the ts have been crossed.

[gillsfan1066]

We have to bring in two or three forwards that have to score 10 goals each to stand any chance of even sniffing a chance at getting into the play offs and there not easy to find. Is Kane still looking for a new place to play ?

Today I put my $100 on the Gills to win the Second Division title at 12/1, and another $100 at 11/4 for them to get promoted one way or another. No new forwards bought in so are we gong to have another slow start for the Gills, no new signings until Christmas when were in the bottom half of the table, and the top four or five teams are 15 or 16 points ahead of us ? First match is August the 5th if I remember right and looking at my calendar that's two weeks away and two pre -season games away ,not a lot of time for any new players coming in to get to know the rest of the squad. Don't mean to be a Donny Downer but I really expected our new owner to go all out early and bring players in before now,I guess Scally explained to him that bringing players in is like the stores on Christmas Eve, wait until the last minute to buy players and like Christmas gifts they drop the price just before they close. I bought my child a doll in a box like that one year ,when she opened it the next morning the doll only had one shoe in the box. In that case it didn't really matter that much,it only had one damn leg.
