Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2023/24

[Sergei from IT]

We have extended the 1 month loan of Jordan Graham from Wolves until January.
He absolutely tore Orient apart in the first half our game a couple of matches ago and then the stupid little boy got himself sent off. 2nd yellow for kicking the ball away.

Nevertheless, having served his one match ban - today he is going to make amends. At least a hat-trick of assists with his superb crossing ability.

F*ck F*ck F*ck
Owing to injuries Wolves have exercised their recall option and he is straight into the Wolves squad to play Birmingham on Saturday.

It never rains - it pisses down.

He's going to be missed. Best crosser of a ball I've seen in an Oxford shirt this century.

Mark Ellis on loan from Shrewsbury for a month.

Any good?

Well he was a big part of their promotion winning team last season so you'd think he'd be decent at this level.

Yeah I'd seen that, and I seem to recall their defensive record was one of the best last season. I read before that he's made 12 appearances this season too.

Could be a good signing, though may suggest Raynes is out for a little while?

Or maybe CMW is going out on loan so we needed another option? Hopefully that rather than a Raynes injury.

Good solid League 2 stopper, but a bit out of his depth in League 1.

A good signing for you which I think will probably turn into a permanent deal if Curle wants to pursue it.

 

[shoddycollins]

I don't really think CMW has counted as an option so far this season. Hopefully he's not being asked to train at awkward times, but until he is able to play at this level in Curle's opinion he isn't an option. I think Lummy suggested last time I heard him on BBCRC that seeing CMW outside the stadium he looked a bit unfit.

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

Haha, Nicky Bailey has found his level again I see!

That'll be the Nicky Bailey that has been a multiple winner of player of the year awards at a higher level and was also in the League One team of the year previously. He was far too good for this level when he was with us and but for injuries, he wouldn't be down here now.

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

Gavin Hoyte can go on loan or a permanent move according to our manager. Hasn't shown anything so far to suggest that he was a better bet than Yiadom, and with him probably being one of the higher earners, we want to get rid so we can use that money on other parts of the team. I'm sure there is a League Two defender in there, but he's not really shown it.

 

[hellogregory]

Nicky Bailey will be class at this level. He's a c***, but he's very good at football.

 

[E10rifle]

Loanee left back Adam Chicksen returns to Brighton. No loss - he's been shite. Back to choosing between our kid from non-league and a left-footed central midfielder. Happy days.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

I quite liked Chicksen, ignoring the game against Accrington where he had an utter 'mare. We've recalled Harry Lee from Welling where they've been using him as a cm, presumably to cover left back, although he's a central midfielder. Saw him in their game at Boreham Wood, to be blunt I don't think he's ready to play in a promotion chasing League Two side. Look forward to him proving me wrong.

 

[shoddycollins]

I don't think he's ready to play in a promotion chasing League Two side.

Sounds perfect for Orient.

And I'm really sorry I know you are above us in the table but given the opinions of some of your supporters, the opportunity to say that was just so perfect that I had to.

I nearly put that in the post myself!

 

[blade1889]

Pompey have Marc McNulty on loan till January (or the end of the season as his dad announced on twitter ). Keep him out of the boozers, dummy in his mouth and feet grounded and he'll be a good signing Imo. Not much workrate but gets in the right positions and decent finisher.

 

[mowgli]

Wycombe have extended the loan of Jason McCarthy from Southampton until January. Can't see Anthony Stewart getting his place back in central defence after his injury with this news.

 

[Kenneth E End]

Nathan Doyle has signed a new 3-year contract with Luton Town, keeping him here until the end of the 2017-18 season.

Hasn't been as good as last season because of fitness issues and hasn't been an automatic pick, but gradually getting back up to speed.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

After his one game recall Harry Lee is back at Welling...

Kal Naismith has gone to Hartlepool.

 

[miagsygas]

Seems to be rumours heating up about Rovers signing Matt Tubbs from Pompey in January. We tried to sign him last season, he's good friends with DC and doesn't seem to be getting the games at Pompey under Cook.

Exactly what we need, we'd make a decent run at playoffs with him up top with Matty Taylor.

 

[Kenneth E End]

... and Bristol Rovers can afford his £3,000pw+ wages how?

 

[Kenneth E End]

Not a huge suprise, but half of the clubs in the Championship want to sign Jay Simpson from us it seems, with Ipswich the front runners.

Easily one of, if not the best striker in the division and far far too good for this level, there was always going to be interest in him.

He needs a full season of playing as the number one striker IMO, but money talks.

Sell him and we may as well throw the towel in.

Leyton Orient aren't really in a financial position to refuse any decent offers either are they? £300,000 and he goes doesn't he?

Fuck knows. Apparently we're close to signing Kevin Nolan though...

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Left back/ centre half Cole Kpekawa has joined us on loan from QPR.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

Cambridge have signed Ben Williamson from us on loan until January.
Hard working but limited striker.
Will be OK but won't score you a hat full.

Should fit in perfectly with Jordan Slew and Danny Carr then!

We've also signed Tom Kennedy, a defender, on loan from Sheffield United and released Alie Sesay back to Leicester.

 

[joethegill]

So we've now signed Williamson (Vale) Kennedy (Sheff U) and Ledson from Everton.

I know he's not been here long, but still!

 

[Habbinalan]

So we've now signed Williamson (Vale of Gills) Kennedy (Sheff U) and Ledson from Everton.

Know bugger all about the first two, but the latter is highly thought of.

Looks like us and Derry may already be a nice match in terms of making the same mistakes. We depended on loanees who were way too good for us for the last few years (Appiah, Maxwell, Appiah, Kaikai) and it sounds as though Derry did too (Grealish).

Ho hum.

Hope springs eternal...

Bullishness rising..

A trip to the Globe Arena beckons....

I can see at least two of our THREE loanees starting tomorrow. Ryan Ledson, from Everton, will be great to watch and hopefully will have the right effect on the White Pele, Luke Berry. he is a sign of the reputation that Jez and Richard developed for doing the right things with developing (other clubs') youngsters.

Matches against Accrington and Morecambe (away) will probably provide the perfect reality check for Ryan, myself and Mr Derry.

 

[AtaturkOzgutson]

I know he's not been here long, but still!

I made a right dogs dinner of that. We've signed 3 from teams better than ours. That'll do. Bullishness rising.

 

[The Terminator]

We've signed John Mvoto on a 2 month contract, a solid signing for this level. Plus for us, a much needed centre half.
