Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2023/24

[Luke Imp]

One in and three out for us ahead of the deadline by the sounds of it.

Gotts from Leeds on loan sounds done.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Looks as if 2 will be coming in Josh Sims from Southampton is reported to be one. We’ve also turned another bid down for Whiteman

 

[GEORGE]

Erhun Oztumer signs for Rovers from Charlton

 

[Luke Imp]

Gotts signed on a season long loan from Leeds but with a break clause in January for both sides.

Another quality young signing, only problem is going to be shoehorning all of them into the squad. I would imagine Leeds expect him to get plenty of game time so wonder where MA sees Gotts, as a CM or a RB.

Pretty sure Wellens wanted Gotts as we are weak at CM now Doughty has left. Will be keeping my eye on him as like Jordan Stevens who we have on loan I know Leeds rate Gotts highly.

 

[GEORGE]

With the signing of Oztumer confirmed and the expected signing of Koiki today our first team squad will be 33 strong. Which is too many for a club like ours. Expect a few to depart today.

Come on then Bristol Rovers fans, come and tell us how bad Timmy Abraham is, we’ve just signed him on a short term loan... sounds like he was about to sign for Dortmund for 2m and it fell through as they missed the deadline?

Should of signed him a fortnight ago before he scored a brace against us...typical

 

[Luke Imp]

Ben Coker, who was already on loan at Stevenage, has now joined them permanently.

Jordan Adebayo-Smith has left by mutual consent. Only a 17-year old kid but he's seemingly been touring the UK trying to get into various youth/U23 sides over the last 6 weeks with Brentford and Reading being two who've had a look but not taken it any further.

So was he good against you, or were you terrible?

Put it this way our fans want another striker but dont think any mentioned wanting Timmy back.

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Think he is getting confused with Tristan Abrahams of Newport who coincidentally is someone gasheads would like to see at the Mem!

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Andrew Shinnie looks like he is on his way to Charlton. Was absolutely superb at this level in the season we won the league, played in a midfield diamond but floated around the midfield picking up pockets of space to play clever passes. His link up with the fullbacks was especially good and we scored a number of carbon copy goals with Shinnie slipping in a fullback to who pulled back for Collins to tap in.

Since we got promoted he’s fallen out of the side as he seems to struggle with teams who press high up the pitch and removes those spaces he likes to play in. We didn’t seem to come up against that as much in League 1 so if that’s the case he should do very well for Charlton.

Contract up at the end of the season so if he does well he could end up making a permanent move.

seems i am on about the wrong player....

yes i was....would not mind him up here to help Doyle

33! Even including the kids that's massive! How many are not registered to play?

Apart from the guys that are injured ( all first team) it does include 2 young goalkeepers but one of them has appeared on our bench this season. The only player deemed not registered is Abumere Ogogo who will probably be off today. All the others have played in the first team or been in the first team squad this season but that does include the small cup competition. And 2 of these players that played in the cup were not included in the 33.

There's a reason for that.

 

[Marked Ox]

Olamide Shodipo on loan from QPR for the season. Know nothing about him.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Josh Sims and Matt Smith plus keeping Whiteman very happy with that

 

[Luke Imp]

RB Aaron Lewis headed to Newport on loan until January.

 

[dannyc5]

Stephen Walker gone to MK Dons. One I feel I can comment on (I know fuck all really about lower league football/players apart from all things Crewe). He was on loan with us last season, and looked excellent before lockdown. Lockdown came at the wrong time for him, because he had just bedded in and it looked like his performances were about to explode. Would have had him back in a heartbeat.

To the MK fans on Twitter slagging him off. You won’t be whinging in a couple of weeks.

 

[Fedora Dale]

No official confirmation yet, but apparently we've signed England U18 International defender Haydon Roberts on loan for the season from Brighton.

We’ve had him before you know.

His first spell with us was on the way to League 2 promotion and he flattered to deceive to be honest, albeit only in cameo appearances off the bench. No surprise he’s come on since then. Been a fairly regular England u21 player, so obviously rated.

Not L1 standard. If it wasn't for his brother he'd be NL, imo.

He doesn't do anything bad specifically, he's just not very good.

Cue hattrick tomorrow

 

[Bucket_]

Absolute shocker for us today, fully expected us to sign at least a third striker and potentially a midfielder. Instead we've now spent the last two weeks (and more) getting drip-fed teases of Ben Thompson returning and exciting young Premier League loans from the local media, and it's amounted to.. zilch.

I know you had him before. He was 18 and it was his first introduction to professional football. You’ll be delighted with how much he has come on. I would have him in our starting 11 in a heartbeat.

 

[GFC4EVA]

No one in for us yesterday, but have to say extremely pleased with our business in this window bringing in some exciting and promising youngsters on loan whilst signing players of quality like Graham and Dempsey on permanent deals, definitely our best transfer window in many years.

 

[Agombar stool]

Just one move for us. Matty Palmer on loan to Wigan until January. Bit of an odd one as we are very light at CM but according to Noel Hunt on the fans phone in yesterday Palmer didn’t sound like he wanted to be at Swindon and we weren’t able to tie up any deals yesterday so we’ll have to make do with what we have got. Free agents are still available and Stephen Ireland was mentioned again but he’d be so short of match fitness I can’t see it happening.
