    Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    Tom Lowery coming home for the rest of the season if he passes his medical today. Miniesta is a Championship level player and will be an amazing signing and provide the creativity we desperately lack if he can stay fit. He's only played 30 games over the last 2 and a half seasons, so that's a...

    We got about £400k for an out of contract player in the summer and we sold Nick Powell for about £4m when he'd only played in League Two in 2012. It's not that unlikely that someone would spent 7 figures on a League Two player.

    Quite a few League Two players have been sold for over a million over the years. Not seen much of Dobra so I can't comment on whether he'd be worth it, but it's not that outlandish.

    Well it isn't if that player doesn't exist. There's about 16 clubs in this league with bigger budgets than us and none of them have managed to get a centre back better than Mickey Demetriou so I wouldn't fancy our chances. £300k is not enough money if it costs us promotion.

    It is ridiculous that we managed to get him anyway, I have no idea how he ended up playing for Newport for so long.

    Nothing but do you know of any out of contract defenders as good as MD who would join Crewe?

    How do you get someone as good as Mickey Demetriou for anything like that fee? You don't.

    They bid £300k and Charles Grant wanted to accept it. I believe that Bell isn't interested in selling and Mickey isn't interested in going so hopefully that's the end of it...

    I fancy Chesterfield to do very well in the run in

    Yeah, he came from Cambridge. I don't think he's particularly injury prone but he did have a spell out earlier in the season. I think this one was a contact injury on a shocking pitch so probably could have happened to anyone.

    It's one level higher - Ilkeston are step 3

    2024/25 League Two Promotion Thread

    I think the thing that really works in our favour is that we're well placed to cope with injuries - I think goalkeeper and RWB are the only positions where we don't have decent depth and I believe we've got funds to bring some players in this month (and it helps that we're getting a great deal...

    I am feeling pretty positive about Crewe. As an attacking force, we're still very much a work in progress - when it clicks, we look great, but I'd like to see it click a bit more often. However, we're so resilient as a team (not at all typical of Crewe teams...) and we're grinding out results...

    Is that even allowed? Someone should tell Joel Tabiner

    O'Riordan is a done deal. I really don't think he'll be costing us much and Blackburn won't be in a position to make any demands about playing time, so it's a bit of a no-brainer, should work out for all parties.

    He's a funny one, he was mostly fairly rubbish in his first season (except for a few games where he played as an emergency centre back) and I think most Alex fans would have happily got rid at the end of last season. I think he was quietly excellent last year though, when he's got good attacking...

    I think he was probably exaggerating for effect.

    Cooke was excellent when we had him on loan from Middlesbrough and I think we were all disappointed that he didn't sign for us when he moved on from Boro. It's still a surprise that his career has only really gone downhill since.
