Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

[Carver]

Mike Jones is a very good signing for us, that will do for the midfield, now we must complete the other positions that need to be sorted.

 

[cufc17]

Thanks for the above feedback, sounds like another solid signing.

Like Carver says, I think that'll complete our midfield. A couple of fans are complaining we're signing too many midfielders, but surely 5 central players is a reasonable amount.

 

[Stagat]

His wife is a Grimsby fan as luck would have it.

How is that ever lucky.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

How is that ever lucky.

She could support Mansfield

 

[SVH]

Chris Porter rumoured to be signing. Most likely as a back up to Barry Corr. A bit of a journeyman. Any good Col U fans?

 

[GTFCfish]

How is that ever lucky.

Well my wife is also a Grimsby fan and she's a stunner, so that's lucky!

 

[GodsGift]

Vose will be the next one to sign for Grimsby.

 

[PaulHaddock]

That's good enough for me.

Some people complain about anything!

 

[E10rifle]

Vose will be the next one to sign for Grimsby.

He's dreadful.

 

[PaulHaddock]

Have you seen him play the last two seasons?

 

[4froale]

Crawley want Rhys Murphy back permanent. League 2 is his level.

 

[LeonTheGreen]

We've just announced our latest signing. Right back Gary Miller, who rejected a contract from Partick Thistle. 7 players!!

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

We're flogging one of our defenders for free, quite possibly to someone in this division. I hope it's George Ray or Harry Davis. It won't be Guthrie as we've just given him a new deal but if it's Nugent I'll be apoplectic with rage.

 

[WAP]

Ben Davies is definitely leaving us, in our local snooze today. Grimsby the favourites.

 

[GodsGift]

Vose will be the next one to sign for Grimsby.

One of two (or possibly even three) to be confirmed this afternoon. Probably along with Davies.

Why, he isn't that much better than Davis and Ray? He couldn't even get into the team towards the end of the season. Whilst I'd be disappointed to still have Ray and Davis, offloading Nugent is not one I'd lose any sleep over.

 

[GTFCfish]

He's dreadful.

I don't know if you're basing that on one game seen against him or not, be he really is not dreadful.

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

He's not been terrible but let's be fair he deserves a second chance at the lower level, rather than a fourth and sixth chance for the other two injury prone cloggers. I don't think he's Beckenbauer and I think he needs to become more disciplined but I do think Nugent can improve. At least end us of the seemingly never-ending defensive continuity of Davis and Ray in that back-line.

Besides when Nugent played with Ajayi he looked decent for League One level, I wonder if we'll bring him back next season...

 

[Bottega Don]

Grimsby sign another of our former players bringing in Sean McAllister.

McAllister hasn't played first team football for about a year so he will be a little rusty but he was our player of the season a couple of years ago in L2, he should do well at Grimsby if they play to his strengths. He's a great lad too so good to see him get a club.

 

[ProfessorGreen]

We've signed Gary Miller versatile right back. Sounds a solid signing. Another of those who has played for Adams in Scotland.

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

Oh no Matt Tootle's been released from Shrewsbury. Can't wait to hear Crewe fans demanding change beg for us to sign him back despite him not actually being very good.

What's he even done in the last few years apart from play reserve football and try and force through a move anyway?

EDIT: He's now signed for Notts County, phew.

 

[GodsGift]

One of two (or possibly even three) to be confirmed this afternoon. Probably along with Davies.

Ignore me. Tomorrow is possible for one, while the other is likely to be early next week.

 

[Son of Cod]

Are you still in France? Your dedication to the Grimsby cause is appreciated, if so.

 

[JJ1532]

Matt Tootle signs for Notts County. A good RB for this level when (mentally and physically) fit, but he's been dogged by issues with both in the last 2 years and has a lot of baggage at the moment. Really not sure how things will work out for him at County.

 

[Youpies]

What constitutes baggage?

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

What constitutes baggage?

Genuine fitness problems, has hardly played in the last two years, confidence issues, a huge row with Steve Davis in 2014-15 (because he was promised a big money move by Dario that failed to materialise) and then a whole season of drama at Shrewsbury which I won't repeat on here as I don't know the full story but from the sounds of it you have to feel very sorry for the guy given what went on.

I do think League Two is his level, a lot of our fans overestimated him because he was passionate and good going forward but only Ollie Turton backs off more than Tootle does.

 

[Son of Cod]

Grimsby sign another of our former players bringing in Sean McAllister.

McAllister hasn't played first team football for about a year so he will be a little rusty but he was our player of the season a couple of years ago in L2, he should do well at Grimsby if they play to his strengths. He's a great lad too so good to see him get a club.

Bit concerned about his absence, but on the plus side he is a similarish player to Nolan who has won promotion from this division twice previously. Will need to work hard this summer and get lots of friendly minutes in, though.

 

[Bar Carousel]

We've signed Michael Smith for an undisclosed from Swindon.

Slightly underwhelmed by this, but his form did start to improve towards the end of his loan spell last season, as he begun to get himself match fit.

Scored a bagful of goals for Swindon a few seasons back, so must be a striker in him somewhere.

 

[gtfcfan]

Mansfield sign Pat Hoban... oh dear
He's good enough for a team maybe challenging for play-offs in the conference... i don't think he will play much for you
