Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

Surprisingly not too fussed about McDonald leaving. He was good for us and deservedly won our POTS. But our season was a wretched season. Harrogate have offered Rod a wage we were unprepared to pay for a player with considerable injury history and gave him 2 years compared to our 1 year.

Considering fans have long since criticised the club for giving injury prone players lucrative contracts, then I'm glad we haven't in this case. We have too many well paid crocks at the club as it is. We must replace him and I'm confident we will. People forget that Rod was on the scrapheap this time last year, now he's earned a payday off a club prepared to pay what I'd regard as over the odds for him.

I wish him all the best at Harrogate.

We’ve signed Joe Ironside on a 3 year deal, well happy with that

Impressive signing that is. Donny putting down a marker with their manager appointment and the players they are recruiting.

Definitely one more good signing coming in

 

[saddler78]

Sad to see him go if it happens but if we can use that wage on a striker in his prime then could potentially be good news.

Any clues on where he might be off to?

Not sure what club but back to Ireland to finish his playing career has always been the plan.

Have these championship scouts not consulted with Barrow fans on this?

absolutely not even L1 standard... wasn't even L2 standard when with us.

Better get them on the phone before somebody gives us 6 figures for him

Would make sense for us.

We've got Robbie Brady tied down for two years, so a young guy who we can develop over the next twelve months as his understudy is preferable to another short term loan.

He's a Scouser so that's an instant green flag for Ryan Lowe.

 

[F!RTHY]

Couple of interesting rumours:

Jonny Williams and Charlie Wyke

Would love Williams here. What was the reason for binning him off Swindon fans - wages?

 

[saddler78]

Someone online saying we have signed DJ and it will be announced this week same bloke got Sadler right not long before it was confirmed.

The Carlisle fans obviously didn't pickup their calls either.

Loved Charlie boy first time around at City, however, wouldn't risk having him back due to his heart condition.

Williams is definitely a class act at this level, however, the only reason he was down at this level recently is again surely concerns about his fitness?. If I remember rightly he was subbed off in both games against last season?

 

[LS Bantam]

Is Wyke partnering Cole Stockton with Cook in behind? Ryan Giggs on one side and Mr Tumble on the other? Who makes this guff up?

84 app in his last 2 seasons - 15 goals - 10 assist

If he’s available, chuck some moula at him.

 

[Ainsty]

Foulds has left for Harrogate permanently.

A lot of our fans crying because he's a local lad and fan which always makes our lot overrate a player. That said, he's competent enough and a better player than Ridehalgh imo.

I've never been really that impressed by him. I hope Mr Weaver Jr sees something in him that I can't.

How much are we paying him? I can't find this information online.

Nice.

 

[EnglishRed]

Big signing. Important you keep Langstaff and Rodrigues now surely? Although softens the blow if either of those leave I suppose.

Ruben all but gone I think, possibly in the opposite direction. Not a bad replacement though.

Langstaff just depends on if anyone offers us the money. We’d sell him for seven figures I think but no pressure to listen to lower offers with his contract.

We couldn't match Mr Tumble's wage demands.

Nice.

They might as well just give Notts County the L2 title now.

I'd be more inclined to hold onto Langstaff now if the price isn't exactly what we want, but that depends on the other signings really. You'd basically be betting that there's a good chance to get into L1 and the risk of him losing value is worth that chance. Equally if he really wants to go then I don't think it's worth trying to keep him if our eventual model is to break even by selling players on.

 

[Youpies]

Someone will panic and put up the money for Langstaff. To be fair he's probably worth it too. At 26 he doesn't fit most recruitment models but he's got it

Didz is an incredible signing. Nice to have a youth teamer come back

 

[TheEndIsNigh]

Great signing for us obviously. The homecoming thing is all very nice as well but presumably he wouldn’t have signed if he hadn’t thought we’d have a decent shot at it in the next couple of years.

Interesting to see if it has any affect on either new players wanting to join, or persuade reluctant re signers to get stuck in. Ruben and Nemane look gone with unfortunately.

Nice.

Early days, but that's going to be right up there with signing of the summer. Cracking bit of business.

We don't really know. According to the release list we never actually offered him a contract. I suspect we probably couldn't get anywhere near his new wage demands. I suspect he may end up at Wrexham.

 

[Master D]

What has Old Man McGoldrick got left in the tank at the age of 39 though?

You can’t say stuff like that in this thread my good man, get it in the GOING FOR IT one instead

Jonny Williams flattered to deceive. Personally i'm glad he's gone as he spent more time on the deck than on his feet. The massive expectation when he signed was never realised
