Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

[Agombar stool]

I wondered why I was sent a pair of predators when I renewed my ST. Seems I might be getting some game time next season!

Foderingham off if you don't go up and Kasim & also Obika (highly likely) to leave.

Not a dig, but unless you go up, pretty much your whole team will be different next season.

If they turn you down, then all but your assistant are out of contract so you could always be the kit man, or even manager!

 

[Indian Dan]

Can't see Kasim or Obika leaving TBH

Fods will be off on a free along with Williams - the last of the di Canio big earners.

Think the only one we'll really miss is Luongo - he'll be off to the Villa for sure.

Then it's just a case of getting in another raft of loanees - cheating bastards that we are!

If anyone's got time ( ) I'd really like a comparison of minutes played by loan players for each team. My impression is that we seem to have used comparatively few this season with only Johnson and Margreitter (and maybe Lavery) making any real difference.

I wouldn't enjoy that list, for 2nd season running we've relyed very heavily on loan players.

League 1 related (for now) as it involves us, Pardew has said Bolasie is worth £20m after teams were rumoured to be preparing £10m bids, we sold Bolasie to Palace and are supposed to have a sell on clause 20-25% if teams thought we had spending power this year! If Bolasie gets sold at a big price we can really flex our spending muscles, given that it also seems like Championship clubs want to vote to increase the amount they can lose (to £5m) however I don't expect we'd do that part given we've just started to repair ourselves from last time.

i dont think a sell on was included.... happy to be wrong but its been mentioned on otib i think

Bradshaw will leave eventually, but it shouldn't be this summer. He's scored 17 goals in not many appearances. At one point in January he had the best goals to game ratio in the country behind Aguero/Costa..so he is definetely a player worth having, when he keeps himself fit. Sadly, he has missed a good third or more of the season with the same hamstring niggle and because of that, he needs to work on himself physically. I've said it before, but the club needs to spend £10k of the Wembley money we have earnt this season, sending Bradshaw off to the states or to a proper hamstring specialist. He has one shin higher than the other, which tags on his hamstring and puts pressure on it everytime he runs, so it's not something that's going to immediately correct itself naturally.

With regards to goalscoring, I would agree, he isn't proven. However, Shrewsbury were a poor team last season, he was benched constantly and put in predominantly sub appearances as either a 4-5-1 long ball striker, or played wide...which, only a blind man could see wouldn't work.

If he plays 46 games next season, he will have a minimum of 25 goals IMO.

 

[hodge]

Would be very surprised if we didn't include a sell on even if only 5-10% and given that we didn't sell him for much £250k? I'd have thought it be more round the 15% mark. Club surely wouldn't be silly enough to facing another Andy Cole situation.

 

[saddler_andy]

We could be in for some good money this summer. I hope Watford don't go up, Deeney will be sold £10m?

If Brentford went up they would have to pay us some dollars and inevitably sell him. Another %. Although if they stay down the new manager may see something in him.

Bradshaw potentially too, I agree about the purple patch, but the way he approaches the game makes me think in a good team (we are poor going forward) he'll cause riot up top. I never knew about his shins though!

Added with the Wembley money you'd expect £2m which is astronomical for us, not that I expect the manager to see any of it.

That would be plausible if average strikers didn't score goals for you every single season *cough* Craig Westcarr

Hey!

Craig is not average, he's Englands future.

Deeney and Grigg beg to differ. Bradshaw has been better for us this season than Deeney was in his last season here. Scored more, looked better and he's only started 27 games all season!! Westcarr...agreed...

Scouts apparently at our development game watching James Maddison and Cian Harries

Girl Guides apparently at Sunderland's watching Adam Johnson.

 

[saddler_andy]

Convinced that Bradshaw's form isn't a purple patch.

 

[SaddlerJonny]

Richard O'Donnell pretty much said goodbye today, I imagine he will join a team up north that can pay more and is closer to his home. Probably Donny if anyone.

 

[RavenBish]

We'd fit the bill if Carroll left. Although I really don't care about keepers unless they're Bart standard.

 

[Saddlerrad]

He'l either end up at one of the relegated teams, Sheffield United, or back up in the Championship. Wasn't keen at first but he has improved to be a very good goalkeeper in league one.

 

[The Hand of Dom]

Mackail-Smith being released by Brighton.

I'd take him back.

 

[valefan16]

We are monitoring Inniss situation at Palace and plan to go back in for him. In the five games he was here for before his injury he single handedly solved our defensive problems with only two goals conceded when on the pitch (one of them a free kick). He got injured and we didn't win for ten games... Oddly we ended our six game losing run after when he came up to watch the MK game... Beast!

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

Innis looked good for us in the 30 minutes or so he played before getting injured and sent back to Palace.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Smith has started or is negotiating deals with Rico Henry, Paul Downing and Tom Bradshaw. Excellent news on all 3 fronts, especially on Henry and Bradshaw.

Henry has already signed a 2 year deal a couple weeks ago, not offering another are we

For those who aren't sure whether Tom Bradshaw is the real deal or a one season wonder, take a look at my self plug

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Coventry will now be due 200-300k from us this summer due to promotion, as I understand from Wilson's deal.
I hope it doesn't disappear into a black hole and that it can be put to good use for them. You're lad is going to make quite a name for himself next season (IMHO).

If only we hadn;t been in such a mess when you bought Matt Ritchie off us, we might have been in a similar position

Poacher's goals.
