Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2023/24

[Jockney]

Signed Shaun Cummings, 28 year old right back who was a free agent.
Both parties happy with a 12 month deal presumably because as a southern lad he might want to suss out living up north.
Any thought Millwall fans?

Steady player. He won't be a revelation but he won't let you down often either. Not much more to say.

 

[FarehamPompey]

Strephen Gleeson from Birmingham maybe? Comments anyone.. played for MK for a while.

Played for Stockport in the 2007/08 playoff final against Rochdale, so is statistcally more likely than not to end up with us at some point in his career...

 

[GeneralLee]

It appears, according to Czech media/Slavia Prague social media and homepage that we have signed 'Gino van Kessel'.

Absolutely no idea.

 

[Marked Ox]

They must see something in Gino Van Kessel as it is a 1 year loan with a €900k option to make it permanent according to Slavia Prague (they would lose €300k on a permanent deal). A 24 yo winger/striker apparently and his best spell was playing for Trencin in the Slovakian top flight. It is a bit random but see how he goes.

Oh, he is another random who has played in the Europa Lg (and scored twice in this case) not that means anything as Patrick Hoban scored in it as well.

 

[Third Team Lucky]

MK legend. Maybe not the most technically gifted, but a dynamic, hard tackling, box-to-box midfielder with a fierce shot from distance.
We struggled to replace him, trying out a number of lesser players, until a certain Bamidele Alli was promoted from the academy.

 

[FarehamPompey]

Sounds like what we need.. Rochdale ran the midfield on Saturday apparently.

Confirmed.

 

[KevinMcallister]

Antonsson could join Blackburn today on loan

don't rate him but could do etter at this level

just been confirmed

 

[SMH]

Linked with signing Matt Grimes. I know I've been accused of not appreciating players we've signed who are good players in L1 (Toney) but he is really is a rubbish player. His level is back at Exeter.

Good old Cook and his obsession with midfielders..

 

[Jonny12]

Need a striker more than anything after a whole summer of signing defenders, 4 to be exact (and a goalkeeper too) .

So we've only gone and loaned in another defender, Shaun Donnellan from West Brom for 6 months, couldn't make it up .

 

[KevinMcallister]

Matt grimes has to be the worst player I've ever seen put on a leeds shirt

Truly awful and there's been loads

Ouch....

I knew he'd struggled but didn't know he did quite so badly. There's a good player in there I'm sure, in fact I know there is because he looked way too good for L2 when we sold him. Perhaps that move to Swansea came a year or two early.

If he goes to L1 and plays regularly he will hopefully come good.

 

[Marked Ox]

whitney out!!!!!

Whitney in!!!!

 

[NorthernSoul]

Heard Kris Commons who is a free agent, is likely to sign for Rotherham once he's back to full fitness after his back operation.

Lol behave yourself i wouldn't want him if it was true, he's only made a name in the SPL which is a mickey mouse league and he's 33 years old and a crock now, he'll probably end up at Bury.

Get that 900k out now!

 

[Marked Ox]

As good a goal as it was, I will wait to see how he does over the season. My caution comes from remembering Kyle Vassell's debut and that goal followed by his subsequent garbage performances.

 

[Bobbin']

Sounds like we're interested in John Akinde.

I would be quite happy with that, a big bustling striker who scores plenty is exactly what we need.

I'm surprised it's taken this long for a club in this league to maybe have a crack at him.

Clubs are a bit wary I think because he would cost a lot of money and he was shite ( and I mean terribly shite) last time he was up here. Bit unfair because he was a lot younger then. I reckon he'd do ok now but I'm not sure he's worth what Barnet want for him.

Yeah his record up here does leave a hell of a lot to be desired but I think he's matured into a very good goal scorer now.

Price is another thing, not sure how much Barnet are after but I would guess around the £1m mark. We've just offloaded Tony Watt for an undisclosed fee and he would have been one of the higher earners. I don't mind spending that if Robinson really thinks his goals will get us promoted and if they don't, it's only Roland's money anyway, fuck him.

I think it's just interest at the moment so probably won't happen.

I reckon it'll be a million plus. Barnet fans tell me he's on a long term contract. I think there's definitely better value available but I'm still scarred from watching him play here ( shudders)

He'll be great if you get loads of pens

Didn't you get a ridiculous amount for Lookman? Surprised you haven't spent much of that to get out of this awful league as I'm sure just a small percentage of that money would be all that was needed.

Around £7/8m up front.

In the last 3 years, we've probably made close to £20m in outgoing transfer fees plus we've outed some of the highest earners. Unfortunately, barely a fraction of that has been reinvested in the squad. Why? I don't know, you would have to ask our wonderful owner, or Lamby.

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

Honestly only idiots buy players from the UK anymore and it's no wonder you're all chasing our tails with this archaic approach to recruitment.

Totally wrong as theres some good players around in lower leagues and Championship reserves, Wyke and Reeves to name 2 were bought for relatively small fees but a team of players of this calibre would easily walk out of this league.

Sorry I literally can't hear you from first place.
