You could be right, but signings have been 'announced' on Wikipedia before. Sorry, I would disagree with that. Yes there may have been some "ITK" people that update Wiki pages before something has been officially announced by a club, but that's akin to a broken clock being right twice a day. I would be very surprised if any media department of a club prioritised updating Wiki over an official club announcement/Twitter page. Happy to be proven wrong though. That's why I put it in '' marks, I wasn't suggesting the club or anyone official had anything to do with it. This could be the player's family or friends doing it, I have no idea really (that's why I fit in well on this forum 😉)

I wouldn't believe any of the crap written in the Post. They had that lad from Torquay as a nailed on signing and he ended up at Mansfield. I the club were interested in those 2, or any others for that matter, I would hope the last people they would inform would be those at that useless rag. I shall wait and see what the club announces after 30th June. That's when contracts expire. Did they really have Jamie Reid as a "nailed on signing"? I don't remember seeing that. No.. I think that was the article posted by Sam frost of '5 potential signings rovers could look at' included Reid, Tshimanga, Chislett, the Barrow left back and one other. We were never officially interested as far as I remember. Just goes to show that when a journo posts something like that, excited fans put 2 and 2 together and make 7,426.

And you have to remember that any decent non league player will invariably end up signing for darragh mcAnthony's moneybags Peterborough, as is their M. O. #STANDARD

Don't you mean the likes of @efl_transfer read the article then tweet that we're interested then fans get excited!! It looks like Gills may have got FRG CB Farrend Rawson lined up to replace Ehmer, who I assume played under Evans when he played for Rotherham.

Out of all of them, Ehmer is the one I'm most excited about Agreed captain material and looked at his goals on YouTube decent finisher looks in the steve Elliott mould so f #### brilliant 😂 😂😂 I can hear it now... "We've got Max Ehmer, he's *ing brilliant" and "Ooh arr, he's a German (well, born there anyway) ooh aarr..."

It looks like Gills may have got FRG CB Farrend Rawson lined up to replace Ehmer, who I assume played under Evans when he played for Rotherham. When asked about whether he was interested in Rawson, Evans said, as per Kent Online: “He isn’t one we are looking at.” the72.co.uk/173420/gillingham-rule-out-move-for-ex-derby-county-and-rotherham-united-defender/

But would you trust anything Evans says? He claimed earlier in the week he was in talks with Ehmer about a new contact but that looks unlikely if he's about to sign for us.

To be fair to Evans I was informed he was in contract talks with Ehmer --But if you are offering a lower amount to a club coming in for him offering more where do you think the player might end up ?

I sense the issue is that they failed to offer him a contract then, when they did, they offered him a reduced deal (assuming Evans is telling the truth about actually offering him a contract).

I imagine the contract kicks in July 1st, we just won't have publicly announced it.

Would prioritise Ehmer over Baldwin, so wouldn't be too disappointed if missed out. With Davies, Kilgour, Harries and Mayo we probably have enough cover. With departure of OC it may well be that some of the budget for a senior pro now goes that way
