Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2023/24

[SF_]

I wish Doyle nothing but shit.

 

[LS Bantam]

Happy with Doyle, decent for this level even if he can’t make the step up I doubt we’ll be threatening the Championship anytime soon. Pants down with the Wyke fee given what others have gone for but can’t say I’m surprised.

 

[Bottega Don]

He's obviously not as good but Bradford immediately replacing their goalscorer with another one is quality. We could learn a lot from that.

 

[PaulHaddock]

He only signed Sam Jones actually from us. All the others had moved on, I think. Henderson had gone back to Man Utd, LJL had gone to Newport, Toto Hartlepool, Rodman...don't actually remember he was long gone though and Nolan had gone to Chesterfield.

And tbf, Bignot signed Jones. Doesn’t disguise the fact that Hurst has his children. Started with Pearson, McKeown and LJL and has now continued with Nolan and Toto. They can only go so far.

Oh and Rodman went to Gateshead

 

[K-Win]

I wish Doyle nothing but shit.

Finally, you are rid of the man who burned your house down, kidnapped your kids and ran over your cat. I'm assuming that's what happened?

 

[Son of Cod]

Oh yeah and always had a few that he was never shy of publicly criticising - Bogle, Neilson, Cook, etc.

I knew Rodman was at Gateshead at some point, but couldn't remember if that was where we got him from or not. I still can't believe he has started carving out a decent L1 career.

 

[PoshinPretoria]

It’s got nothing to do with us “failing to spot” an asset. Moron. Do you even understand how football works?

Really? ...and yet after the terrible season you state a team such as Posh, who in the past 5 years have spotted and sold the likes of Assombalonga / Gayle / Washington / Tomlin / Marriott (not to mention Mclean/Craig MS/Boyd just before them) for silly money, were still able to spot the potential in the player?

It amazes me no-one at Luton did? I am not sure how that makes me a moron?

 

[Bobbin']

Luton hardly suffered for it, did they? They were promoted whereas you got one season out of Marriott and didn’t achieve anything.

Not knocking the business Peterborough do though, one of the best operators in the transfer market in the lower leagues.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Garrett to Wimbledon on a season long loan now confirmed, good luck to the lad.

 

[Kenneth E End]

Precisely, we just used the money to buy Collins and Berry (and that was just the initial fee only) and they contributed about 30 goals between, double what Marriott did the previous year.

As for operating in the transfer market, I'm not sure a 30 player turnover is particularly shrewd?

Fair point, I was referring more to the point that they do seem to pick players up and sell them on for big profit. They seem to do that well.

 

[Bottega Don]

Matty Lund signed on a permanent deal and George Thomas brought in on loan. Doesn't fix all of our issues but it certainly helps.

 

[Jonny12]

Signed Jack Fitzwater back on loan from WBA with Kane Wilson also joining on loan from them. We have then splashed the cash on Morgan Ferrier from Boreham Wood.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Not a new signing but Dan Potts has signed a new 3 year deal. Somewhat unexpected as championship clubs have been rumoured for him. Great business by us to get a key player to sign on.

 

[BelizeHatter]

Peterboro have done extremely well in the recent past in spotting a good striker and making very good money on movong them on. Hope you saved some of it, as Steve Evans will really badly fuck that reputation for you.

 

[Chippy]

You’re totally missing the point here, so we will move on.

 

[womble76]

So after signing Rod MacDonald as back up centre back from cov we have a space in the number 10 shirt and then our business is done.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Given the site was down not sure if this was posted, we have got Herbie Kane on loan from Liverpool and signed Paul Taylor on a 1 year deal

 

[Kenneth E End]

Fair point, I was referring more to the point that they do seem to pick players up and sell them on for big profit. They seem to do that well.

No, I knew what you meant the first time - was just being deliberately obtuse.

They do make a lot of money from players, yes, and its a model that we've used ourselves, albeit without making players available for transfer with less than 1 year to go on their deals, but remember they do make considerable outlays. Jack Marriott cost £450,000 to begin with + a substantial sell on - how many L1 clubs can afford that?

If he had bombed, that's a lot of money lost.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

I find it strange some Posh fans bragging about how much money their owner has made in the last 5 years, they've been nothing but mid table league 1 in that time. As football fans don't we want to see our team doing well and promotions? Not having a few stand out players while the rest are pretty shite, give me a decent relevantly un valuable team any day of the week.

 

[PoshinPretoria]

Of course Luton suffered. They could have made 5m instead a possible R1m. Peterborough achieved a profit of R4m for just one season...Do keep up with the argument!

 

[Jonny12]

Amadou Bakayoko reportedly off to Bristol Rovers for £150k, Keates today confirmed we've accepted a bid for him.

Best move for both him and the club, he needed a fresh start. There's a player in there somewhere, and with the right coaching he can come good, but it would be very difficult for him to find that form here anymore. Far too many fans are on his back because of his poor performances last season and the year before.

 

[Bobbin']

We’re supposedly one of a number of clubs interested in taking Eunan O’Kane from Leeds.

We quite obviously won’t sign him but just nice to see our name linked with a player.

 

[PoshinPretoria]

I am sure many more teams could afford it if they had made 15m+ profit on players in the last 5 years. It is all about getting your scouting right.

 

[PoshinPretoria]

. As football fans don't we want to see our team doing well and promotions?

Hows that been working out for you in the last few years?

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Hows that been working out for you in the last few years?

Since 2013; a promotion, 3 trips to Wembley, a major cup final and an FA Cup quarter final including beating the champions of England elect at their own place after going 2 down. Not a bad 5 years for a lower league club, and all done without multi million pound stars. Why? Because a decent team is more important than lining the owners pockets. Good old DMac will be buzzing with another mid table finish this season if he finds another Marriott. Will that be 5 or 6 on the trot?

Don't know why I've asked more questions, you didn't actually answer the one you responded too.

 

[UTS]

I can tell you now Barnsley fans, in a competent team (IE not Bury) Styles will absolutely flourish. He’s got incredible technical ability that defies his age, often being the best player on the pitch last season despite us having an abysmal side.

Small and agile, and able to read the game and pick a pass. Yes, he’s lightweight as expected at his age but that is subject to change.

He won’t get into Barnsley’s first XI now but give it a few years of well managed development and I see no reason why he won’t be around the first team in the coming years.

Put it this way, you’d struggle to find many better at his age in his position. Whether he reaches his potential is another matter but he has plenty of first team experience for such a young player.

A nice little accolade for him is he was the first proffesional player playing in England born in the new millennium.

 

[Hatter86]

Of course Luton suffered. They could have made 5m instead a possible R1m. Peterborough achieved a profit of R4m for just one season...Do keep up with the argument!

How do you keep missing the point here? He wasn't worth £5m. He was out of the side, quite rightly. You can't continue to play someone who is out of form in the hope they will come come regardless of how much potential they have.

In fact when Peterborough bought him, he wasn't worth £5m, which is why they paid around a tenth of the price. Players are only worth how much someone is willing to pay for them at that time and at the time he was not a £5m player.

My apologies your initial post stated you wanted to do well and get 'promotions'.

Well done on your 2013 play-off win and promotion from Div 3 though and all the other non-promotion stuff you now mention. It has indeed been a good five years for you.. We got relegated from the Championship that 2013 season (weren't you lot in that once - at the turn of the millenium or something?)

Btw is the Rumbelows Cup or whatever it is called these days now considered a 'Major Cup Final' or only since Bradford were in it?

You are just not getting it. Are you suggesting that Marriott did not have potential and that during the course of 9 months playing for a woeful mid table Posh team he just 'suddenly' became good...if he was so shite at Luton then why would Posh pay 500K for him. That is a lot for a player with no potential.

Either way...
