Gillingham not expecting any players to join or leave before loan transfer window shuts
by Luke Cawdell
Gillingham manager Mark Stimson isn’t
expecting to be doing any business before the loan
transfer window shuts on Thursday.
From 5pm on Thursday no clubs will be
permitted to do deals for contracted players until the window
re-opens at the start of January.
Only keepers can change hands between clubs
and that must be under exceptional circumstances.
Stimson’s most recent signing was that of
striker Febian Brandy from Manchester United and the Gills boss is
happy with the squad he’s got.
“I wouldn’t have thought we are going to do
anything,” said Stimson. “We have got a decent bunch of players now
who we can work with until January and then see what happens
then.”
The Gills have a handful of players out on
loan with Adam Miller (Dagenham), Tom Wynter (Dover), Andy Pugh
(Welling) and Luis Cumbers (AFC Wimbledon) currently plying their
trade in the lower divisions.
It leaves just a few players in reserve for
Stimson and he’s unlikely to let any others go out on loan.
“I doubt if any more will go out because of
our squad now was 20 on Tuesday.
“There are some games coming up as we go
Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday again and we need all the bodies we
can.”
The transfer window opens again on January 1,
when permanent and loan deals are authorised. That window is
currently scheduled to close again on Sunday, January 31 at
midnight.
