Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2023/24

[Buxton Vale]

Ryan Lloyd close to a return. Yay.

I was hoping that rumour had gone away. Underwhelmed.

 

[Urban]

Signed Ryan Watson from MK Dons on a 2 year deal. Looked quite good when he was here on loan under Wilder so happy with that.

Why are you paying him actual, real money each week?? He was atrocious for us - wouldn't have him with us down in the Conference even given our current dire situation.

Expect lots of dire long diagonal Hollywood balls that get closer to the linesman than any of your players.

 

[AmberRich]

Some of our fans who are "in the know" have been saying for a few weeks that we (Cambridge) are in talks to sign an old but very experienced attacking midfielder. Last week Max Rushden and Jamie Cureton have also tweeted about us making an exciting signing.

Wes Hoolahan is the popular guess among the fans so far. Mainly because he's available, knows Calderwood and Cureton, and fits into the "old but very experienced attacking midfielder" category.

 

[darren gregory]

Ryan Lloyd close to a return. Yay.

Absolutely staggering signing.
Yet to score a goal in the football league.
17 games in 5 years at Vale and we wondered why every season he was retained.
Not going to slag him off but just completely bemused and perplexed.

Can a Macc fan just post the regular title winning side so that we have a clue who is coming next .

[F!RTHY]

Every chance, local to the area and was at our FA Trophy final as well.

Think JE wanted him back in January but he didn't want to drop down to Non League.

Strange that, ‘cos it’s about his level.

 

[valefan16]

Manny Oyeleke close to a new deal being agreed. Huge for us if the case.

That would be very good news for us. At least its the Sentinel reporting it not just Unofficial Vale so can give it some credibility. I know people have mentioned his injuries last year but looking at his career its not as though hes been massively injury prone before so thats not a huge concern to me.

 

[Indian Dan]

Signed Adam May, CM, from Pompey.

Take your pick from:

Shwan Jalal,
Jared Hodgkiss, Keith Lowe, George Pilkington, David Fitzpatrick
Elliott Durrell, Scott Burgess, Danny Whitehead, Danny Whitaker, Ryan Lloyd
Scott Wilson

In all seriousness, Askey wanted Lloyd apparently at Shrewsbury in League One before he got injured. He tries hard and Askey obviously sees something in him. Plays better in a midfield 3 imo on the left centre of midfield. As a winger, he's no good.

 

[Conker]

We haven't signed anyone but apparently we are aiming for 25 clean sheets next season which is the L2 record. 10 at the back?

Well we did have the best defence in the league

 

[SF_]

Salford being very stringent again with their wage expenditure I see.

to be fair to the player, the training regime was suspect and the lack of physio options didn't help. It should be more professional in the "new era"

and the lack of pre season he got.

I hope we've finally got a physio, that was a shambles last season having the club doctor run on the pitch but needing the opponents physio to go with him to meet EFL rules!

 

[Agombar stool]

Signed Adam May, CM, from Pompey.

Seemingly impressed on non-league loan spells at Sutton and Aldershot. Young box to box midfielder. No real thoughts either way but initial reports on him sound relatively positive.

Strangely enough Jalal has been mooted as our new back up keeper.
Which considering he's under contract at Chesterfield is a strange shout

 

[Son of Cod]

Best rumour of pre-season so far? Andy Carroll to Grimsby.

Might be ok in League 2. Just whether you can get 10 games out of him

Comes complete with bunk bed - Kevin Nolan sold separately.

 

[GTFCfish]

We’re after Andy Cook now as well as Tranmere apparently.
So the choice is a team on the up in League 1 or a team stagnating in League 2.
I wonder which one he’ll pick?

I don't get why people are taking this one seriously? No chance will he come back here. The Matt Green rumour on the other hand, could be a goer.

Edit: Radio Humberside have confirmed we're after him apparently. John Tondeur confirms we're after Devitt too. I reckon this is just a bit of sloppy reporting really. The Tondeur Tweets are followed up by "finances and interest from other clubs may be a big stumbling block". No shit mate, we're in Neymar as well but the wages could once again prove to be a problem there.

 

[Moss Rose Silkmen]

Nicky Adams has announced he's leaving Bury. Salford bound?

 

[F!RTHY]

We’ll take him

 

[Indian Dan]

Looks like Devitt is on his way from Carlisle. Hopefully landing in Wiltshire - maybe Cobblers, though.

 

[Son of Cod]

I reckon he'll get a L1 club. He's only really leaving because of the circus that is Bury. Every time I've heard him speak this season he seemed fully committed to the club and settled. Had a great season from what I've seen, his crossing stats in terms of successful/attempted balls into the box were off the chart at various points earlier on in the season. If I was Micky Mellon, I'd be getting straight on the phone.

Someone on our forum reckons us, Lincoln and Hibs have already offered him deals.

 

[Indian Dan]

He ain’t going north for sure.

 

[Moomin]

Taylor has said we’re expecting to have a couple of signings sorted by mid next week with a ‘keeper being his main focus. No names though.

He also said we were very close to signing a striker last week but lost out to a National League club, which shows the money that’s in that league but may also be down to location. The assumption is that it’s Paul McCallum who went to Solihull. Fucking Solihull.

 

[Luke Imp]

Cowley rates Devitt and has tried to sign him here before so it's plausible, but there's been no mention of his name at this end.

Yeah, I don't know how reliable the poster on The Fishy is but I think he lives up in Cumbria...as if that adds any weight really.
