Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

[AmberAndy]

Cheers.

Your last paragraph has improved my mood as he sounded terrible till that part! We play a back three so I guess he’d slot in as a LCB.

I’d take anyone at this point. Other than Ryan Loft, perhaps.

What do you mean? Loft is a goal machine, 2 in 2 for us, and to be fair he’s actually looked ok when he’s played.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Took his goals very well and all, Lofty bashing is off the menu for now chaps!

Anyway, we've finally managed to Ben Stevenson over the line now. Not sure whether to expect any further business.

 

[deanureeves]

Exeter fans you heard anything about Randell Williams going back to you? They’re the rumours down our end, his contracts up end of season & we’re actively trying to shift him before the deadline it seems

 

[Master D]

Looks like we're close to Sam Smith from Reading.

Jesus, the money that's getting thrown around these days is insane.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

You can't have Smith and not the Knibbler!

Scores goals but think we need somebody to provide for him, Lee doesn't cut it anymore

Wycombe turning down £7m for a lad who was playing Sunday League football 18 months ago has distorted the market. Seems like £2m could be the going rate for a guaranteed 15 goal man at this level like Smith.

Just the 9 strikers on the books for Parky now.

 

[Stocky]

Decent third tier forward, but is Wrexham's problem missing chances or is it not creating enough chances?

We do create very little due to the style of play but having a number of strikers who are not mobile or capable of playing an entire match for a variety of reasons is also a reason. Palmer for example has no business starting games at L2 level nevermind up here.

Fletcher is a different class but only has 20 mins in his legs. Mullin again those problems look to be part fitness related as well as reaching his level.

 

[Conker]

The transfer fee total already for L1 is insane for January.

Maybe I’ll get proven wrong in the last few days but we seem very committed to being frugal, unless a player ‘on the list’ becomes available for cheap.

Just the one loanee so far, and I would expect/hope for at least one more.

Nothing about that at all. Not the sort of player we need!

 

[denzel ecfc]

Hartridge on loan for rest of season.
That's 6 I think on loan now.

 

[denzel ecfc]

We have apparently come back in with a fresh offer for Kone - up to 7m with 4 up front then 3 as potential add ons.

Think Wycombe could reject that and get more out of us tbh - we are clearly very desperate. All a bit mad

Really don't know where this leaves Alli.
I'm worried that he won't go ow, he's going to be seriously peeved off (or Whitakered as we call it down here)

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

Do Exeter just sign ex players?

Some of our fans think we are signing Stockley!

Think we want both to be honest.

And no way are Wycombe going to accept that bid imo, it’s very obvious they don’t want to sell and we need to stop being desperate and move on.

 

[dan_wrexhamafc]

Decent third tier forward, but is Wrexham's problem missing chances or is it not creating enough chances?

I'd say a bit of both. Bar Fletcher we are very wasteful. We don't make many chances, especially away but when we do unless it's Fletcher and maybe Max Cleworth from a set peice we miss more then score.

 

[thewwfc]

You want Hartridge back? He’s had barely a sniff with us (even in the Tinpot), as he’s probably 3rd choice LB and 6th choice CB right now.

Well…I called it.

Absolutely makes sense, we never really gave him a chance to be fair - he’s looked pretty meh the few times I’ve seen him, but it can’t help the lad with match sharpness if we never actually play him.

And Exeter need defenders, he already knows the players and can hopefully slot straight back in.

I can’t honestly see him coming back to us at the end of the loan, but it’s not really his fault if we bought him and then didn’t play him.

I think i called it before you tbh

Alli confirmed gone to Luton.
Says undisclosed but we all know it's 1.5mn

Do they scout any matches outside of L1?

Belgian second division too apparently - you can get rubbish Japanese right backs from there you know

 

[masi51]

Think we may have a busy few days after the appointment tonight of Schumacher. Can see three or four out and a couple in. Would not be surprised to see Baxter, Santos, Jones and Williams departing and we still need someone to rat and win the ball in midfield and a lump up front to play alongside Collins

 

[Casey]

Wigan confirmed they signed Ronan Darcy from Crawley.

Transfer fee is tuppence hapenny probably. He's a no 10 with tricks and such but not very quick or strong and doesn't force himself on games enough.

Said before I do think he is OK. One issue. Our manager said he had a strange injury to his groin. Lumps growing apparently. Which probably means he grew a pair and told Wagmi to sign someone or he's off.

Couple of people suggesting Joe Gardner from Forest on loan was done today and presumably to be announced tomorrow so we'll see.

Bit of a bizarre January in attacking positions for us. We set out to strengthen it as a collective, yet we've lost Moylan for the season, Cadamarteri for 6-8 weeks and House for probably 2 or 3 weeks!
