Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

[Kenneth E End]

Saville would be a great signing for anybody in this league......Best of luck getting anything like that for Mengi....Clubs know you are in the last year of your parachute money and you will have to off load him sooner or later.......Your better or should i say highest earners need off loading for whatever you can get for them
None if very few will fancy staying around in lge1

I'd doubt that Mengi would be a super high earner in comparison to others. He wasn't brought in with the intention of being a starter on day 1. We just saw upside much quicker than what we probably expected.

He's still probably on around £12.5K/week at this level.

You also conveniently forget we're owned a billionaire family, that helps a bit...

None of the revenue streams you mention even come close to half of £9m either. Also, didn't realise you averaged 26,000+ last season....

But carry on making up complete and utter shite. It'd be nice if you used some fucking grammar though.

You cannot rely on a owner who wants to pull out of funding you.......Billionaires own quite a few lge 1 clubs, but very few are funding them to the extent the Hemmings family are funding you...........I will repeat myself because it does not seem to register with you.......you are NOT getting 9m more television money than Bolton, you are not getting the turn over we are getting per year and your wage bill far exceeds ours and we are losing money hand over fist.
The Championship is no god to any club who stay there season after season.......Without the Hemmings money your clubs fucked, you better hope he sticks around

You are fine this season and can carry players on that wage, but you may be better cutting your cloth this season and trying to save a bit of the parachute money for the next few seasons

Not to sure about Saville myself, was hoping we would go younger and athletic types in similar vein too Aasgaard/Alli. That central midfield area was a massive, massive issue last season. Still at least he seems robust going off his appearance totals for Millwall, not the usual crock on the cheap like Baptiste.

as I’ve said to you before, we have literally no idea about contracts these players have and what clauses were put in for relegation. Given we haven’t exactly splashed cash and have struggled to recruit, a major gripe amongst a lot of fans I’m thinking most aren’t on as big a wage as you would think.

Mengi when signed was touted as a bit of punt/one for the future type who turned out better than expected so he won’t be on a big wage. 8m is a bit fanciful though I’ll grant. Think we turned down over double that last summer from Torino which was a huge mistake in hindsight.

Who says they want to pull out? And without an owner any football club is fucked. Your relentless bullshit is impressive.

This is some tangent from you signing some guy from Wrexham.

Think you are certainly fav at the moment to get out of this league, but you do not want players who will play very few games and pick up decent wages.....wow i did not know you had turned that sort of money down.
Easy with hindsight, but you would have had aspirations of bouncing straight back to the premiership.
Norways manager has made keeping Aasgaard difficult for you, but you should double or treble your money on him.

I don't recall us turning down £16M+ for Mengi last summer - if that did happen, I would stand corrected. A bid came in from Torino for a derisory loan-to-buy option which simply wouldn't have helped us in the short term. Around that time, having had a very decent PL season, qualified for England on the verge of the U21 squad, I'd have been pushing for around £20M.

I've no idea what we'd sell him for now. Burnley are one of around 3 clubs that are currently interested, but Luton have no need to sell him on the cheap considering our financial position. Even more so considering MUFC get a sizeable chunk anyway.

You will simply have four/five players who will throw their toys out the pram and force moves way.....Not a chance will they drop to league one, better cutting your losses with them
Last thing you need is players moping around the club.....You have enough money to clear the ship and get a few top end league one players and get yourself back in the championship.

Yeah I was wrong about that and misremembered. It was Loan with an option to buy that could ultimately rise to 10m having gone back and looked.

Some talk on our forum that Stockport are after Will Keane. Struggled with injury last season and generally looked off the pace, so probably needs to drop back down a league. I think he'd still do well in League One.

Signed Kal Naismith permanently. Was on loan for the latter part of last season. Good experienced left sided centre half - always felt he’s better in a back 3 than a 4 though.

Very good signing for L1 level. Again, another leader.

Will be in the running for the captaincy next season.

Anyone else got tumbleweed?

We’ve signed Rico Richards on a 2 year deal today. Had him on loan from Villa all of last season and got something about him, often helped swing a game in our favour from the bench and loves to take on defenders. Needs to show he can do it for more than 20-30 minutes though now we are moving up a level.
