Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2023/24

[Casey]

No, this is just a trialist we signed up as we have two left backs who seem to be injury prone (Gallagher and Tsaroulla).

We are also starting up a b team so we are recruiting for that as well.

Your club twitter announced Mason as the signing that your fans voted for.

They're going to play him in midfield though to make it look legit.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Kyle Hurst signed on a 2 year contract from Birmingham, left winger. Much more balanced this year. Starting to feel much more confident now

 

[Chief Rocka]

Looks like we're about to announce Mikael Ndojli, winger previously playing in surprise surprise, Scotland, mostly recently Virginia Beach City FC.

Please tell me this isn’t the Marquee signing haha

Another dreadful flop that has passed through Barrow. Think he was at Aldershot or someone last season, so might have improved.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Our 12th signing and 9th free transfer two loaners

i think he actually scored last season for Aldershot - but barely even managed to make the bench for us.

 

[Crewelad87]

Signed Aussie winger Lachlan Brooke on loan from Brentford.

I'm sure we had him on trial start of last season when we were struggling badly for players.

 

[hellogregory]

You can have Marcus,lead boots,Carver on loan.

Any good? (For our standards)

 

[Chief Rocka]

No (for your standards or anyone's in this league)

 

[Kauto Star]

Been told that we are waiting patiently for every League 2 club to complete their business so we can then hoover up some of the players that no other club wants.

Hopefully we find a couple of gems.

That's usually what we do and end up with the likes of Theo Robinson and Kurtis Guthrie. No gems to be found at the end of the window mate

 

[Sestonpoolie]

Within 10 mins of watching him,you could see he wouldn’t make it as a league player.
He Should fit in at Carlisle nicely.

I’ve might have miss heard my man in the know & it’s actually someone from Torquay.

 

[Big Bird]

I’ve might have miss heard my man in the know & it’s actually someone from Torquay.

Or a player from Braintree with a dodgy knee.

It's Mark E, as in Ellis. Unlucky.

I do apologise Agombar. I didn't see the twatter feed. Wagmi and Crawley are saying this is the midfielder we voted for!

He did look good v QPR but this is a guy who couldn't get a game for MK Don's last season and only played 36 times in 3 seasons with Coventry. Wagmi seem to have a habit of shooting themselves in the foot with stupid announcements and it's sure to play well with the nft holders that the vote has ended with the signing of such a mega star!

Also, no pressure Brandon!

No dramas Casey!

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Lee Tomlin signed on a one year deal, impressively we’ve only signed one player on loan, a far cry from Darren Moore’s policy of having more loans the permanent players

Our new technical director was talking on a phone in on BBC Wiltshire last night. A few interesting things noted.

* our budget last season was second lowest in the division
* our budget this season is upper mid table
* once our internal debt has been paid off we will be looking to increase the budget - debt was reduced from circa 4.5 million to 1.5 last season.
* his teams to watch this season are Salford, Mansfield, Crawley, Northampton, Bradford and Stockport
* We had agreed terms with Sol Bamba to become player coach but family issues in Portugal meant that couldn't happen.
* we were incredibly close to signing Will Grigg and a mystery midfielder (not sure why he would mention Grigg by name and not the other player) both who joined a league 1 club.

Second lowest in the division? With the midfield you had that seems hard to believe, wouldnt have thought the likes of Williams and Payne came for peanuts. I know it was a load of additions late in the window last summer but struggle to believe that.

 

[Indian Dan]

Nobody really got their head around it. We were, though, under an EFL embargo which restricted our wages offered to £1,200pw. Payne was already under contract from the previous season so he didn’t count as far as the embargo went.

But, you’re right, how we got Williams and Reed, I have no idea.

Payne's wages were also heavily subsidised by Lincoln. I do agree that it seems unusual our budget was apparently so low with Williams and Reed clearly league 1 standard players. I guess we did have a lot of loans and a pretty small squad last season. Not sure why he would lie about it but it is questionable.

 

[LordJord]

Suggestion we have signed Brighton youth team captain Marc Leonard on loan. Hes highly rated of course. Played against us in the papa johns last season but as no one watches that no idea how he got on.

Also a suggestion that Carney Chukwuemeka could leave Villa to go to either Barcelona or AC Milan. Apparently due to EPPP we would get 20% of any fee if he gets sold abroad before the age of 23 (could be a few mill for us). So massively hoping they pay up now instead of trying to get him for a tribunal fee next season.

 

[Ninety Per Cent]

I hope you all take at least 1000 away to Doncaster, to pay for their players they're bringing in.

[Conker]

Not the greatest vote of confidence for Danny Johnson, just a six month loan.
