Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

[LS Bantam]

January is a massive month for teams at the top end regards keeping hold of players - Dack, Bradshaw, Armstrong, Washington... Just a few names, could double that list easily. Will the second half of the season squads be noticeably weaker than the first for a fair few of the top 6?

 

[DH84]

I think the Westley would be talking about Otzumer who Palace apparently want and Anderson who's supposed to be a class act.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

I do worry about Dack.
If anyone is looking......he is shit.....look elsewhere!

 

[Saddlerrad]

I'm fairly sure that Henry will leave in January for an eyebrow raising price full of add-ons and then be loaned back to us until the Summer. Either that or a deal will be agreed to sell him in the summer. Bradshaw has 12 goals in all comps I think, he should go on to double that. His record is something like 34 goals in 52 starts for us - so he's proven now, he will leave but with an 'M' next to the fee also.

The bigger loss for me is Sawyers. Out of contract in the summer and he's just dominated and ran about 90% of our games this season. He isn't replaceable because a player of his quality is genuinely very rare to find in academies etc. I'm pretty sure he's the most technically gifted Walsall player I've ever seen. He will go under the radar because he doesn't score lots but his record overall playing as a 10 and sometimes a 5th midfielder this season is brillant.

Point in case.

Joint second most involved player in goals/assists this season in the entire country.

Dack is on 10 for the season so I'm not sure whether all those stats are correct!!

I do worry about losing him though, he's the best player in the league so he's bound to attract plenty of interest.

9 goals and 3 assists

List is players that have more than 14 goals and assists combined

 

[joethegill]

What I meant was that the table says Dack has 9 goals whereas he actually has 10 - can't trust tables like that if they can't get those sort of simple details right!

 

[Jack]

I use TransferMarkt for stats, Even that says 9

When did he get his 10th?

 

[joethegill]

1 v Sheff Utd (H)
1 v Plymouth (A)
1 v Port Vale (A)
2 v Wigan (H)
1 v Blackpool (H)
1 v Luton (H)
1 v Walsall (A)
1 v Coventry (A)
1 v Rochdale (H)

I think that's right!

 

[Saddlerrad]

When was the Rochdale game? The list was made on December the 1st.

Sawyers has been flying this season and the stats don't lie - he's a huge loss.

The Gills fans are only in here because Lord Dack is being questioned by a player of a similar standard and stat.

It was towards the end of November if I recall.

Febian Brandy has joined Thailand second division side Ubon UMT United

Why he ever left us, ill never know

His career has been in freefall since he left us

Sawyers linked with Celtic today.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Sawyers linked with Celtic today.

Why would any half decent player with ambition go there? Yes they will make Europe but be out in the blink of an eye.

 

[Jockney]

Why would any half decent player with ambition go there? Yes they will make Europe but be out in the blink of an eye.

Because they're one of the biggest teams in Britain, despite playing in a poor league. Also players who do well there usually go on to good Premier League careers.

 

[DH84]

Arsenal and Liverpool linked with a up to £10m bid for James Maddison according to The Independent.

Calling it a poor league is being kind.

Sullay Kaikai has been recalled by Crystal Palace.

 

[GFCSludge]

We've released centre back Callum Davies who's promptly signed for Maidstone Utd

 

[ccfctommy]

We have signed Andy Rose from Seattle Sounders. Midfielder who is eligible from January

 

[Jockney]

Arsenal and Liverpool linked with a up to £10m bid for James Maddison according to The Independent.

Reading the article, though, it doesn't say that at all really. There's rumoured to be interest (scouts) and then a whole load of speculation on the Indie's part on how much they could sell him for if they got promoted to the Champ, compared to the amount Alli went for last year.

 

[Jockney]

Calling it a poor league is being kind.

On a par with L1 overall. His profile will be much bigger there than in L1, though, and he'll be trebling his wages at least. No brainer, IMO.

 

[RavenBish]

Why would any half decent player with ambition go there? Yes they will make Europe but be out in the blink of an eye.

Good wages, European football and a league winners medal every year. Apart from that, it's no different than playing for Reading.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Sullay Kaikai has been recalled by Crystal Palace.

Wasn't it only the other week Pardew was on about how good being at Shrewsbury was for him? Seems a strange one. Unless a Championship club willing to pay a big fee for him has popped up - but he hasn't been THAT good for you has he? Not for a Championship side to come in and pay a couple of million?

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

£10m???
I fucking hope so because that would make Dack worth £20m at least!

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

£10m???
I fucking hope so because that would make Dack worth £20m at least!

 

[SF_]

Just for balance, Adam Barton was linked with a multi-million pound move to Liverpool once upon a time...

£10m for a Coventry player?

 

[DH84]

I wish Adam Barton all the misery in the world.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Can't wait for Henry's pricing....or Bradshaw's....nevermind Sawyers

 

[Matt_]

The official line is that he was recalled due to injuries at Palace, a few days after Mellon said he'd been sent back to Palace so he could spend Christmas at home and recuperate from an injury he sustained against Swindon.
