Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2023/24

[Laker]

Keith Keane? Mark Roberts? Think we've got a couple more I've forgotten about who you'd be welcome to.

Elito doesn't excite be massively but he'll likely be an impact sub as we've already got two decent wide players. Good option I guess.

 

[BetterCallSaul]

We are after Gwion Edwards apparently, any good Crawley fans?

 

[Habbinalan]

Potential first loan signing of the season - another winger, and got his first cap for Canada this month, QPR's Michael Petrasso

[Youpies]

Petrasso is decent. Played under dezza at Notts and out lack of resigning him or a similar player (we had demari Gary earlier that season) is a big reason we went down. Only played about 1 in 3 tho

 

[Casey]

We are after Gwion Edwards apparently, any good Crawley fans?

Yes. A winger who mostly plays on the wrong side (Right foot left wing). Quick, direct and has a good shot on him. Near post heading pretty good too.

League 1 yes, Championship ???

We are becoming a MK Dons feeder club.

Interesting really how we've managed to get both of your CB's. Don't know about you but I think Walsh is a lot better than KMF, I think he's amazing. Any more players we can look at?

 

[Trapdoor]

The two clubs deserve each other frankly.

 

[BetterCallSaul]

Portsmouth sign Carl Baker. Our player of the year in our promotion season, simply brilliant signing.

 

[WAP]

Top signing, been waiting for it to be finalised for the last week or so.

MK Dons are not in the Championship any more!

 

[SamScfc]

Absolutely love Carl Baker, top guy and a travesty he never made a career in the championship

 

[antn1.b]

big signings so far for us

 

[RavenBish]

Petrasso is decent. Played under dezza at Notts and out lack of resigning him or a similar player (we had demari Gary earlier that season) is a big reason we went down. Only played about 1 in 3 tho

We had Reece Brown not Demarai Gray.

Petrasso is quality and, ironically, Derry was a fucking dick with him and weirdly left him on the bench a lot (playing the tragic McLaughlin instead) and then let him leave without a whimper when his loan was up - it was all very weird...so of course the prick's now signing again.

 

[Bar Carousel]

Jamille Matt signed for Blackpool.

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Unbelievable from us. Jamille issued us a come and get me plea, loved it down here and we don't manage to sign him. Complete lack of ambition from our board, I see it's a 2 year contract no doubt we'd have only offered 1 year as that's apparently all we do now. There must be something going on at our club if he's willing to go to the current shit shower at Blackpool over us. Big loss and a top league 2 striker.

 

[Youpies]

or it could be the fact that he doesn't have to move house or anything if he stays in Blackpool?

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Nah that would be too simple, we need something to get annoyed at down here. Nothing is happening.

 

[PaulHaddock]

We've signed Zak Mills from Boston on a two-year. Plays anywhere across the back. Apart from that, no idea.

 

[Luke Imp]

Long throw.

 

[hellogregory]

Carl Baker is probably the best signing in league 2 so far this summer.

 

[jacobncfc]

We've signed Adam Collin.

 

[Casey]

I also think Walsh is better than Fadz but is a lot quieter so doesn't get noticed as much and left footed centre backs are a rare breed comparatively speaking.

I am aware that Dons are in league 1 again but they will want to go back up as soon as possible. Gwion is a good buy for a league one side not sure he is quite up for the championship.

The ball sometimes runs away from him when he dribbles and I'm not sure if his stats stack up to his talent.

 

[hellogregory]

We've signed Adam Collin.

He's a good keeper, professional and affordable. (That's how Greg Abbott described him when he signed for us)

But every so often he'll have one of those games where everything goes wrong.

He was good for us for a few years, but then he went though a bad spell of form where he had no confidence on crosses, made error after error and lost his place to Gillespie. We released him the following summer.

Great penalty stopper, one of the best I've seen in the lower leagues.

 

[ComeOnIrene]

Orient have just signed defender Tom Parkes who was out of contract with us. We offered him a 1 year deal on the same pay, but after being used only semi regularly last season he has clearly decided to take the security of a 2 year deal in League Two.

O's you have yourself a defender who on his day can be absolutely solid as a rock. Unfortunately he does have calamitous errors in him and when he's slightly low on confidence he will have a period where he looks like a headless chicken, but thankfully they don't occur too often. He is still really young for a centre half and if he can develop some consistency to his game he will be a strong performer for you next season.

He has been a part of successive promotions and for that he will be remembered fondly by Gasheads, but after four years with us it's probably best for both parties to have a change. At the minute he isn't good enough to be a regular in League One but who knows in the next couple of years.

Good luck Parkesy and to the O's next season.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Really surprised Cambridge have signed Elito. I'd be very underwhelmed if I were them.

 

[Optogas]

Good luck to Tom Parkes, think a new challenge will do him good as others said on his day rock solid but rarely gets through a game without a calamitous error which either nearly or does cost us a goal, practically gave Newport their 4-1 win over us at the mem on his own last season. I wasn't a fan but had his moments.

 

[E10rifle]

Petrasso strikes a lovely low cross. Didn't seem to have too much else about him when he was with us.

 

[Gassy]

Just heard about this. My first thought was panic and 'oh sh*t' - until I thought about it for a moment or two and this actually makes sense if we want to progress higher. Parkes is a very good L2 defender who deserves 1st team football. He still has so much to learn which has proven to be an advantage yet disadvantage at the same time. Orient is a cracking move for Tom, probably on good wages and a 2 year deal with quite probably the promise of first team football.

All I can do is wish the guy luck and really hope we can bump into each other again one day in the higher leagues, cracking servant to this football club. If he ever plays against us again, I will certainly give him a warm applause.

 

[Son of Cod]

We've signed Zak Mills from Boston on a two-year. Plays anywhere across the back. Apart from that, no idea.

Most comfortable at RB, potentially a replacement for Tait if he goes? He sounds like a decent prospect reading some comments from Boston fans though. Hopefully he is good enough to step up two divisions.

Unbelievable from us. Jamille issued us a come and get me plea, loved it down here and we don't manage to sign him. Complete lack of ambition from our board, I see it's a 2 year contract no doubt we'd have only offered 1 year as that's apparently all we do now. There must be something going on at our club if he's willing to go to the current shit shower at Blackpool over us. Big loss and a top league 2 striker.

Yep, Matt should be a quality signing. One of the standout Non-League players after Vardy/Gray over the last few years. Blackpool also officially GOING FOR IT™.

Couple of silly names on here. Miss out on Jamille Matt due to not offering him a 2 year deal. In for Kenwyne Jones and Bobby Zamora...

[Swedes]

Portsmouth sign Carl Baker. Our player of the year in our promotion season, simply brilliant signing.

Carl Baker played for us under Paul Cook, and Cook didn't rate him! There was an interview at the time where he said "I ain't seen nuthin' in the lad". Funny how things change.
