Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

[Northern1]

We’ve terminated Paul Taylor’s contract by mutual consent, he really looks a troubled man. Mitchell Lund may also have his contract terminated too.

Thats two clubs now. There's a good player in there but he has a lot of demons

 

[K-Win]

Aston Villa have recalled Andre Green from his loan spell with us. He's not had many starts, partly due to injuries but has come on late in games of late and scored important goals. Looks a really good prospect but Villa are probably not happy with the amount of game time we've given him. He's had Curtis and Lowe ahead of him so not easy to slot him in.

Leaves us suddenly looking a bit short of bodies up front, so may need to recruit one or two in - probably loans.

George Moncur signs for Luton as expected. Surprisingly it is on a permanent, 2 and a half years.

Just make sure you start him every game otherwise his daddy will get the face on.

 

[Bosox]

I remember being impressed with Moncur in the away game at Barnsley, especially how calm he was in the Luton box getting his head up and picking out a Barnsley player to set up a goal. It was such a contrast to how the Luton players were panicking every time they got into the Barnsley area.

Obviously he has fallen out of favour at Barnsley since then and might have some character questions but it's still a potentially quality signing. Perhaps all the West Ham boys at Luton can keep him happy.

His contract was up in the Summer apparently so can't imagine it was a big fee but it sounds like Barnsley have a sell on clause.

Looks like we've signed Jordan Green from Yeovil. Never heard of him.

Seems to be their best player going forward. Quick and skillfull.

Yeah just been reading up on him, seems highly thought of down there so could be a good one.

Walsall fans - any feedback on Connor Ronan, we are supposed to be signing from Wolves. What kind of player is he? Please don't say a Centre Midfielder!

He's an attacking midfielder/playmaker. Very small, but his technique is excellent. Just not rough and tumble.

Cheers. Sounds a bit like Alzate, who we had on loan and has now gone back to Brighton.

Can he play as a winger?

We tried him there and he wasn't quick enough really. More a central player for me

Tidy and with an eye for a pass but failed to make an impact and didn't really fit into the squad as we had to play 1 up front with him in behind to get him in the team, which just wasn't worth it.

 

[Fedora Dale]

How highly do you rate Joe Rafferty?

Highly. Solid full back who gets forward when appropriate. Can do wing back, but crossing isn't his strong point. Also had a couple of decent games as defensive midfielder (aka shielding a rickety back 4), which he was OK at.

Cheers, he's an option for us but think Callum Johnson is our prime target, Accy asking for very good money though.

A Very solid L1 player, but not 100% sure he'd be Championship standard. Has struggled against one or two particularly fast or tall wide men. Wouldn't begrudge him the chance, though - he's a good lad, and we have an extremely promising 16 yo who played the second half yesterday at RB with Joe switched to the left to replace the sadly off-form Matt Done.

 

[Luke Imp]

Looks like we've signed Jordan Green from Yeovil. Never heard of him.

Their stand-out player from an attacking point of view. Final ball inconsistent but looked to have something about him albeit a little lightweight.

MrGloverLover is your man for something more in depth!

 

[Shrimpurh]

Oxford in for Josh Wright. How has he found himself another L1 club, unbelievable.

What you on about he’s a brilliant player hurry up and sign him Oxford lol

Callum Woods going to Bradford, on loan I imagine.

Woods signing for his ‘versatility’, would you class him as that? We’re desperate for signings but right back is probably the last position we actually need.

Yeah, very versatile if he can stay fit for more than two games.

Right back by trade but played left back in our promotion season and was class in the play-offs, also had a run at centre back when we were promoted and he was quality, think we kept 6 clean sheets in a row or something.

Not sure if he's the same player now though, constant injuries mean we can't rely on him in the Championship anymore.

Been a good player for us, wish him well.

Romain Vincelot signed on an 18 month deal after being released by Crawley is a weird one for us

So far all Ricketts has signed are 30 plus players he has previously played with or managed. Feels like we're going backwards.....

Vince is an odd one, he looked past it in his last season with us, got caught in possession a fair bit but decent enough, has a great leap on him and is one sexy mofo.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

I'd be shocked if it's a loan. We already have the max amount you're allowed in a match day squad, with no plans to get rid of any.

 

[Casey]

If any Shrewsbury fans see Vincelot please tell us if he is any good. We haven't seen him for 3 months or so.

He played every game from the start of the season at centre back but got caught out by league two shit house tactics. Picked up a 'minor' calf strain in October and we never saw him again!

I'm presuming he was on good money (for us) and we needed to release him to bring someone who was going to play in but it is a bit of a mystery as we have struggled in midfield and he never got a chance.

Now, anyone fancy Mark Randall?

Fair enough, good move for him then.

Callum Woods to Bradford confirmed, free transfer, deal until 'at least' the end of the season.

 

[Caer]

Josh Maja off to Bordeaux seemingly. Really, really hope we have a replacement lined up this window.

 

[Fedora Dale]

Joe Rafferty to Preston confirmed. Ryan McLaughlin in from Blackpool as his replacement, presumably.
