Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

[Richard Cranium]

Well, it's getting to the time if year to write the shopping list out.
Forward wise we have a decent one in Collins but with Harrold out injured for 3 months and Yusuf due to go back to Mansfield we have to get someone in. It would not surprise me if we asked to keep Yusef.

In midfield we have Dean Cox coming in and that will be it but we may extend Henderson's short term deal.

We only have one right back at the club and he is a converted winger. He's doing OK but someone to cover is needed.

Left back! Please someone let us get a left back. When people on here said about Blackman and Arthur I thought they were exaggerating. If anything they were being kind. Last year we had A few left backs come in, and do well, who have gone to nowhere ville and Macclesfield. What I would give for one of those.

Someone sign Alex Davey so he leaves us.

Casey

How's he been doing for you? His problem for us was his fitness was absolutley shocking. He could come on for the last 20 and be blowing out his arse on 80 minutes. We've bought in a proper fitness coach now so Adi will be worked very hard in Jan if he comes back.

He has problems with fitness.

We tend to play him as a sub for a right winger now but he did get a few games up top and did well but he does blow up badly and pick up "knocks" that then keep him out.

He will not start ahead of Collins, Boldewijn or Roberts (or Cox) but he is a handy player to have around.

[Clarkey_GTFC]

We've signed 18 year old striker Akheem Rose, 18 month deal. Had him on trial and he scored a few for the youths. Wouldn't be surprised if he starts on Saturday.

 

[Gladders]

We don't play Saturday looks more like a signing for the youth side than the first team judging by the news story but it's an option I guess if Bogle is still injured.

 

[dedwardp]

We had Will Hoskins and Jermaine Grandison playing on trial for the U23s last night, can't say I know too much about either though. Seem to recall Grandison being fairly rated at Shrewsbury once upon a time?

Grandison has signed until the end of the season now.

Alfie May of Hythe from the Ryman League likely to be signed by Doncaster
Seems to be more Kent-area players heading north nowadays

God knows why we haven't taken a punt on him, he'd be on peanuts.

 

[rudebwoyben]

We've bought Dan Sweeney off Maidstone for an undisclosed sum of money. Apparently a promising central midfielder...

Given our central midfield is a colossal black hole this year with him being a major contributing factor, I'm okay with it.... good luck to him (and Barnet).

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

God knows why we haven't taken a punt on him, he'd be on peanuts.

Apparently we have had Alfie May in for training but JED wants to see him play a development game for us before making a bid.
Donny will probably now nick him from under our noses due to our indecision.

Yeah I read that this morning. At least we're looking. We were also after Harry Smith from Folkestone, but Millwall got him and he's instantly scoring goals (albeit in cup games) which is a shame.

You had him on trial, let him go and he's been with us for a few weeks now, offered him a contract 3 weeks ago and looks like he's signed.

We didn't 'let him go' per se, he's been training with us and our manager wanted to see him play in a match for us before deciding whether to sign or not. He's still been playing full time for Hythe, so hardly fair on them to keep him just for training when he's their player!

 

[Gladders]

One of Bignots Jan targets is Jamey Osbourne, attacking mid from Solihull Moors, although apparently a few lge 2 clubs and lge 1 sides interested.

We are also in talks to extend Bogles contract beyond the current 18 months so we get more money for him in the summer!

What I was saying is you didn't follow up your interest hence him coming to us.

Nothing ruled out.

 

[Gladders]

We have appointed Gary Whild the former Kidderminster manager as head of recruitment.

Mb has confirmed we have offered Bogle a new deal and Collins is here till the end of the season. We have also spoken to Man U about extending Hendersons stay.

Finally we have made two offers to two diff clubs for players

 

[hellogregory]

We have also spoken to Man U about extending Hendersons stay.

From MUFCs point of view.... What's the point? He's not exactly gaining valuable experience by sitting on the Grimsby bench for 90 minutes every Saturday.

Agreed which is why I was surprised when they even let him come to us in the first place.

Apparently he's already signed for us.

Confirmed that he is returning to Mansfield.

There is a player in there. Maybe the fitness coach at Mansfield can bring him out.

[Hamez]

Evans confirmed after yesterday's game that he'll be out as soon as January comes round.

As mentioned he has talent, not as much as people make out, but his fitness levels are horrendous. Back to the Conference North/South I think.

 

[Si Robin]

3 players set to sign before Colchester on Monday. One is rumoured to be Brian Wilson from Oldham, another is a loanee from Bristol City, and no idea who the other is.

Panic has set in.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Heard we may have Luke Murphy on loan from Leeds.

Drummy seems to suggest he has an offer from a league two side and some one on the Crawley forum reckons it's Grimsby.

Just a rumour before I get my head bitten off.

[The Terminator]

Early rumours suggest that QPR winger Abdenasser El Khayati is an early target for us.

 

[SVH]

Early rumours suggest that QPR winger Abdenasser El Khayati is an early target for us.

That would be an excellent signing.

 

[Hamez]

Heard we may have Luke Murphy on loan from Leeds.

Is that actually true? Was sort of hoping it was but seems a bit too good to be true.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

We have 3 coming in apparently, a left back, left sided midfielder and a striker

Do you really need to overspend even more and make your squad even bigger?
