Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

[Ciderup]

I've heard Ledson could be off. We made a living mugging off Championship clubs with our players the past 18 months but sending Lego to Preston would be an almighty balls up on our part. He would replace whatever shit you currently have no problem - unless your manager is useless.

Do you include Calum O'Dowda in that TTL? If you do, please feel free to mug us off again as he was brilliant before he was injured! It took him a while to get used to this level but he's bulked up a bit and has been sensational at times.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Anyone coming in would be back up initially I reckon, as I say, just a random rumour that it's an Oxford player.

Preferably a ball winner to fill in when Pearson is suspended.

Diagouraga?

Marvin Johnson would be the main example and Lundstram. Hopefully Roofe and O'Dowda continue to improve and get sold on for decent fees and we will get a good percentage from the sell on fees.
We did get very good fees for all those mentioned considering they wanted to move and in some ways engineered moves. in the case of Lunny he was within the last 6 months of the end of his contract and we got 700k.

We are one of the clubs who have made a silly offer for Kieffer Moore.

If that Posh chairman is correct though, he is off to a South Yorkshire club for 10k a week.

That would be Sheffield Utd or Barnsley then. If true. Warne has stated that he will not have an imbalance in wages, where one player is on double what the next guy is on, destabilising the dressing room.

 

[beaufighter]

Bolton is also being mentioned for Toums, pretty sure the game on Saturday against Bury will the last I see him in green. Going to you would also be a logical move for him, in fact more logical than Bolton. Though as SERNWA has pointed out that you have the best midfield in the league would there be room for him?

The best we've had for years isn't the same thing as the best in the league. Gobby kids can get carried away. It is true though that midfield isn't a priority for us, although he would take some pressure off the defence. I was just remembering what Warne said about him in the past and it was only silly Leeds wages that stopped him signing in the end.

 

[Luke Imp]

£10k per week isnt that much for this league is it?? Rumour was that Gary Roberts was knocking on 5 figures for us in League 2!

What?! Do you look at the Club in L1 and think that many can afford £10k/week?!

 

[SF_]

Only he’s not a L1 player, neither is Powell, and neither was Yanic two years ago. I called at the time that Yanic would go for big money and as long as whoever is calling the transfer shots at the club doesn’t balls it up, I’m calling the same with Morsy, he’s a class act and will hopefully have the opportunity to show himself off further at the World Cup which I then think will lead to us selling him. Not sure about his contract situation though. You say no L1 midfielder will go for £5m, I hope you’re right as that’ll mean Nick Powell won’t be going to Villa this month.

No one will offer £5m for a 26yr old, defensive midfielder while they play in League One, I wasn't talking about his ability.

Powell is a goalscorer/ match winner so that's a different story, plus Villa are absolute mugs. Not sure if he's a top end Championship player but wouldn't be surprised if someone took a punt on him during the panic window.

The more I read these valuations of players in League One, the more I think we're being reasonable asking for £10m+ for Hugill.

Moult and Bodin are also looking like potential bargains at £400k a pop.

 

[nelsonpfc]

Yes it is! That's half a mil a year most teams salaries are around £2.5-3 mil. And Pompey fans think they don't have a high budget, bet you're top 6.

We have a budget of around 3mill. Unfortunately alot of the players got pay increases for going up and we had to pay off alot of Cooks high wage earners off - Smith, Roberts, Baker, Talbot, Tom Davies as well as paying Holmes-Dennis loan wages for the entire season even though he got injured 30 mins into the first match! Pitman aside I don't think many of our summer transfers will be on massive wages to be honest.

 

[SF_]

Diagouraga?

Think we would be looking at players who are under 25 with re-sale value, that's our policy now unless its a really top player.

We've been stung by Doyle, Pringle and Spurr (if you take into account his injuries).

I like Diagouraga though, wouldn't be upset with him on a short term deal but I can't see it.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Sean Clare returned to Sheffield Wednesday, absolutely gutted

How he's got on for you?

 

[Third Team Lucky]

Ike Ugbo joins on loan from Chelsea.

Typical MK signing. Highly regarded youngster but not set the world alight at Barnsley during first half of season and seems to have become a bit part player in the last couple of months. Last scored in September (woooo). Apparently we were close to getting him in last window.

He'll end up on the bench with our other highly regarded youngsters.

 

[GFC4EVA]

How he's got on for you?

Been fantastic, hoping there is a chance we we can get him back

 

[GFCSludge]

How he's got on for you?

Yeah, he's been class. matured as a player and person since his arrival, creative but willing to work hard too. Also has the bonus of being versatile, had him at right-back, wing-back, on the wing and in centre mid during his spell with us.

He's going to become a very good player and it would be great to see him in a blue shirt again one day, but I think he may be destined for higher things unfortunately.

 

[SF_]

That would be Sheffield Utd or Barnsley then. If true. Warne has stated that he will not have an imbalance in wages, where one player is on double what the next guy is on, destabilising the dressing room.

Barnsley.

£750k supposedly.

 

[Bottega Don]

We’re trying to sign Chiedozie Ogbene from the Irish league. He’s reportedly highly rated and had a trial at Chelsea not too long ago.

 

[SF_]

Daily Mail saying we've got a £500k bid on the table for Ryan Ledson.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Whilst we’re trying to get Byrne back, both Peterborough and Plymouth are also trying to sign him.

 

[Floreat Salopia]

Max Lowe joins on a season long loan from Derby County.

Derby fans aren’t too happy about it as they seem to think that he’s their best left back and can’t understand why he’s not in the team. Seems like another good signing from Hursty

 

[Posh Hammer]

I'd have him behind Powell and Dack, but he's certainly up there. Anyway nicely time for us, we've got you at the end of the month.

And Maddison.

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Whilst we’re trying to get Byrne back, both Peterborough and Plymouth are also trying to sign him.

Not heard that one.

 

[LeonTheGreen]

Whilst we’re trying to get Byrne back, both Peterborough and Plymouth are also trying to sign him.

Where did you get that from?

 

[EricSabin]

Signed Shay Facey today from Man City for a fee. Right back/centre half, will bring pace, energy and aggression apparently. Much needed.

 

[EricSabin]

And now we've signed Southend midfielder Jack Bridge. All three signings so far have been training with us for a month or so so should hit the ground running

 

[Hurrikeen]

Not heard that one.

Where did you get that from?

Irish journo who broke the McEleney to Latics story.

 

[SMH]

Jamie Walker was in for a medical today according to the world famous "Sky Sources". 300k bid agreed and apparently Blackburn tried (and failed) to hijack the deal late on, the cheeky swines.

 

[beaufighter]

Barnsley.

£750k supposedly.

Yup. Thought as much. Not first time they've done this. Feeder club for Barnsley FFS.

 

[beaufighter]

Signed Shay Facey today from Man City for a fee. Right back/centre half, will bring pace, energy and aggression apparently. Much needed.

Very decent. We had him on loan in the Championship for a while.

 

[beaufighter]

Well, I've seen the first rumour about an incoming player today. Jay Emmanuel Thomas. Free. Not sure what I think about that tbh.

 

[beaufighter]

Ryan Leonard sold by Southend to Sheffield Utd, done deal on local news following medical

 

[GFC4EVA]

Talent is there but he is such a lazy c*** he's wasted his career
