Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

Not gone well I take it?

Not really. Started off ok, picked up an injury (surprise) early on and hasn't really established himself since getting back. Doesn't seem to be an Ainsworth type player. It says something when Taylor Perry is being picked ahead of him as he can get about the pitch more, despite Rossiter being a far better player but not as athletic.

Didn't help that nobody can really tell his best position. Was described as a box to box midfielder when we signed him, Hurst largely played him in a holding role, but I thought he looked more effective in an advanced role. Didn't help himself at Blackpool by watching his man run from the halfway line unchecked who then ran onto a loose ball and smacked it unopposed into the top corner.

Good luck to him and it's a shame it's not worked out.

Leaves us with Winchester, Gillead, Perry, Ojo (loan) and at a stretch Shipley, Castledine (loan) and O'Reilly (loan) as the midfield options. Surely reinforcements to come, as can see one or two of the loanees being let go too.

Jordan Rossiter loaned out from Shrewsbury to Oldham. Must be freeing up space in the squad, unless Carlisle are sending back Harrison Biggins

Great player -- Just injury prone. We did tell you.

Been told tonight from two separate sources (one called our signing today before anyone knew) that we are in talks with Lincoln about bringing Freddie Draper back here whether it's permanent or a loan I don't know that yet but we definitely want him.The general feeling seems to be they will let him go when they have someone else lined up.
