Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

[SF_]

We've brought Callum Connolly in on loan from Everton. Made 35 appearances in the Championship last season for Wigan and Bolton. Current England U21 international as well.

Seems a very good signing that, we tried signing him permanently about a year ago but were put off by Everton's price tag. Don't think he was great at Wigan or Bolton but he was supposedly quality for Ipswich and chipped in with a few goals.

Was very good for Ipswich in the Championship the season before last, played for 2 struggling sides last season so could be a coup that.

 

[T.A]

Sounds like we have signed centre back Adam Thompson from Bury and winger Chiedozie Ogbene from Brentford.
Both have history with Rob Scott our recruitment guy so seems to make sense.
Any good Bury/Bees fans?

Hard to say really. We were so gung-ho last season there were times where he was the only one who stayed back. Seemed to get beaten to headers a lot for a CB. I don't remember him making any serious mistakes. Guessing he will be used as squad rotation rather than a first team player?

 

[joethegill]

Signed Thomas O'Connor on loan from Southampton until January. Captain of their U23s, plays left back predominantly which is good as we don't really have one! If he's as good as Alfie Jones then I'll be happy enough.

Also suggestions that Olly Lee is having his medical today with a view to a similar loan.

 

[Reaper]

Chiedozie Ogbene has just signed from Brentford for an undisclosed fee on a long term contract.

Also now confirmed til the end of January.

According to quotes in the local press, Warney has told him he starts as 4th choice and it's up to him to get himself in the starting 11.

If his performances match his CV and comments from previous clubs, he should be a good signing for us.

Covers defence but primarily midfield by the sounds of it? That's two areas Cowley wanted covering and his versatility probably opens up an option to sign a winger.

 

[Shrimpurh]

Theo Robinson has joined Col U on loan. Won't be missed.

 

[GFCSludge]

Elliott List sold to Stevenage.

Didn't see that coming, frustratingly inconsistent but a real handful on his day. Evans determination to bin off every single player he didn't personally sign continues.

 

[Imp in Branston]

Have signed Jake Hesketh on a season loan from Southampton, another midfielder. Had spells on loan at MK and Burton recently, so any views on him as a player?

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Rolando Aarons to Wycombe?! Surprised at that he should tear this league apart.

 

[SF_]

We've loaned Connor Simpson to Accrington, interested to see how he gets on, barely played at Carlisle so hard to gauge what stage he's at in terms of his development. Only 19, impressed at Hyde but obviously that's a long way off League One.

He may well get a game tomorrow night v Fleetwood in the tinpot trophy. We've had a few injuries up front already this season plus Billy Kee still absent so he may be put straight in.
Could do with Connor Ripley back too....

 

[Big Bird]

Rolando Aarons to Wycombe?! Surprised at that he should tear this league apart.

That's an incredible signing.

 

[Shrimper92]

We need a central midfielder and a winger badly.

 

[joethegill]

Zakuani the latest to leave Priestfield, although this one is understandable. Getting on, wouldn't play much, and on decent wages.

Youngsters Brad Stevenson and Miguel Scarlett also leave.

Definitely some incoming news approaching soon...

 

[GodsGift]

Not saying he isn't, but is Rolando Aarons all that? Highly rated at Newcastle two or three years ago but he's done nothing since. What's he played, 20/25 odd games in three years?

 

[SF_]

Pretty sure he impressed for Sheffield Wednesday last season.

 

[Luke Imp]

Have signed Jake Hesketh on a season loan from Southampton, another midfielder. Had spells on loan at MK and Burton recently, so any views on him as a player?

Looks another decent signing.

Pushes one or two others down the pecking order in midfield. Admittedly Freck and Pett are injured and Chapman is only a young lad but we've got quite a few options in there now. Wouldn't be surprised to see Chapman head off back to the NL on loan until the New Year in a week or so once the fixtures settle down.

That was my initial reaction. He's done ok in a loan spell but even then he was hardly flying there. Will be a good signing I'm sure, but not one to necessarily go overboard about.

 

[Shrew_fan]

We've signed Jason Cummings on a 2yr deal and Callum Lang on season long loan from Wigan. Happy with that business
Just need to offload Anthony Grant now.....

 

[SF_]

Bolton sign Bridcutt, Buckley & Verlinden.

Also linked to Ali Crawford, Joe Dodoo, Daryl Murphy & Joe Bunney.

Played 9 games for us last season and was decent, injuries limited him though.

 

[mase]

Bolton sign Bridcutt, Buckley & Verlinden.

Also linked to Ali Crawford, Joe Dodoo, Daryl Murphy & Joe Bunney.

They've also taken OUFC favourite Jake Wright on loan from Sheffield Wednesday. Decent CB at this level.

 

[RotherhamDale]

Keyf has gone mad at Bolton. O'Grady, Buckley and Bunney all ex dale.

 

[Tom_ITFC]

Josh Emmanuel to Bolton.

And Daryl Murphy too! Good signing that!

 

[SoutheySWFC]

From us?

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Just need to offload Anthony Grant now.....

Cummings is a talented player but has got some real personal issues. Looked good for us when given the opportunity last season but had a falling out at a do for sponsors toward the end of the season and was never seen again afterward, not even for any of the celebrations. Talented but a very self destructive character it seems.

There you go. He’s signed for us!
