Paulo Gazzaniga - Officially Signed

Martin Allen - The king of spouting sh*t.

 

Indeed. He was giving it large about how he and Peter Reid had been heckling Capello at a manager's conference about England's performance at the World Cup - this from a man who had just been sacked by Notts County - and mocking the importance of "so-called tactics" in football. The man's a buffoon and Gillingham is probably above his level.

Friend of mine met Mr. Gazzaniga at a chairty golf day. He'd been linked with Peterborough who had just released Lewis and Jones, and my friend being a Peterborough fan, had to ask. He replied that he was looking to leave Gillingham and had been told that there was interest from as high up as Chelsea. He said he'd definitely be going to a bigger club than Peterborough. A few days later they signed Torquay's stopper instead.

He's a very, very good prospect.

 

There seems to be less excitement over this one than Butland, which is odd, seeing as Butland played in exactly the same league as Gazzannga last year! and I'm pretty confident that he will cost a hell of alot less than Butland.

Martin Allen's a c**k and is trying to boost interest as he knows he's not a good enough manager to take Gills places meaning their good players will leave. I don't know but I'd imagine a couple of million would get us talking to this guy. Know nothing about him whatsoever so nothing to add on his ability I'm afraid.

Martin Allen was on Talksport yesterday saying they have agreed a fee and are close to completing a deal with a Premier League club for "a lot of money" for Gazzaniga. He even describes it as sort of season changing money where if the deal goes through, he can sign players to win the title but if it doesn't, he'll have to lower his sights and aim for play offs.

 

Some Gills fans have heard rumours that the deal is worth around £2.5 million!

I hate it when news outlets, such as BBC Solent, use the term "understand".

 

E.g. "The BBC understands that Capello will become Russian manager".

 

Presumably everything they report is what they "understand".

 

But they tend to add in the word "understand" to mean "we kind of think this, but aren't wholly sure".

 

Which isn't really the dictionary definition of "understand"....

Not odd at all, Butland has been selected for a full international squad and is widely recognised as an outstanding prospect. No one had previously heard of the Gillingham gk.

Presumably with additions and top ups etc.
