Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

[Gladders]

Shows how well we've done on the field to get to this stage.

Eh? I thought losing in the lge 2 play offs was pretty normal for Lincoln.

Oh sorry I forgot you haven't followed them for that long have you.

 

[T.A]

Didn’t know beckford was still playing.
the quote of best forward is even funnier.

He’s got a 1 in 2 record more of less in about 300 games. He’s played for much bigger clubs than anyone in this division. Even last season he scored 8 in 15 for us and we were utter shite. Question his ability to finish a season by all means but to question his ability over the rest of this division is laughable.

 

[gijsbert_bos]

Shows how well Lincoln are doing off the field that they can afford to pay 450k for a 28 year old non league player and pay 4k a week wages.

Fair play to them.

Are you on a windup? For the final time, WE.
ARE.
NOT.
PAYING.
£450K.
FOR.
AKINDE.

Where do people get these figures from? It just increases every time some 13 year old on Twitter posts about it.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

He’s right you know. You can’t question it.In racing terms he’s a former Grade 1 winner who’s now too old and has gradually slipped down the ratings living on his old accomplishments but nowadays needs to be kept in cotton wool.

Will definitely attract bets from punters clinging onto the hope he can stay fresh all season in a cloggers league like this

 

[Indian Dan]

Including wages it’s got to be way in excess of that. Nearer £600,000 over 2 years.

 

[Imp in Branston]

Oh at least that, will probably be in excess of a couple million when we sign him for the full 5 years.

 

[Davidimp]

Just heard we've paid 2 million for Akinde, giving him 5 year deal and paying 10k a week and upping the rest of the squad's to same cos we're so damn filthy rich these days

 

[Indian Dan]

Do you not think paying £200,000 for him plus £4K per week is not a reasonable assumption

Love how people from other clubs know the exact amount we pay for players and their wages when they don't know and neither do we.

League title, FA Cup quarter-finalists and a lower league trophy to boot. All within the last 2 years. Think we've earnt the right (and the cash) to spend on who we want.

 

[Imp in Branston]

We dont want to be spending up to 200k on a donkey that has such a poor goals to game ratio, especially if he is only a one team wonder. Really hope the Cowleys see sense here and avoid Akinde.

 

[Randolph Haggerty]

Won’t happen. He loves Laaandan too much Andy only recently signed a new contract

Also loves vale park, always scores there. Always.
But, yeah, won’t happen

Clearly we need to sign a forward with a link to Swindon

 

[GTFCfish]

Really silly of Lincoln to fork out 600k to buy Akinde, ridiculous transfer fee for any team in League 2 to spend.

 

[Indian Dan]

OK. Give me a figure of goals he’ll score that you would see as reasonable and I’ll have a charity bet with any Lincoln fan.

 

[GTFCfish]

40+ penalties and 2 more goals from open play.

Indeed, I am fuming, thats right put me off my Sunday lunch. If only DC had listened to Dan.

It’s ok, if you can’t finish your Sunday lunch Matt Rhead will pop round and help you.

He is off to Spain with the rest of the squad today so sadly cant make lunch.

 

[Conker]

Lincoln are going to need more investment from wealthy benefactors chucking £600k about like that on a crocked one club wonder.

 

[TommoCUFC]

It’s probably Akinde paying his own transfer fee, rather than LCFC. Small price to pay to play for the greatest managers ever to walk the Earth in fairness, especially with this new brand of total football we’ve all been promised

 

[Indian Dan]

We’re playing Rangers in Spain. Maybe we’ll tie in a friendly with you lot, too.

 

[PaulHaddock]

Akinde has 87 from 166 at Barnet. That means he has played at least 79 games where he hasn’t scored ANY goals! Shocking record! Paying 750k is madness, especially for someone without a decent hairdo.

 

[pontoonlew]

Such as? Who’s the less risky equivalent ?

One would argue Stockley is worth similar. I’m sure there’s plenty of others.

 

[pontoonlew]

There is the sound of an almighty WHOOSH going over the heads of Lincoln fans today, another day, another universal Lincoln tantrum.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

One would argue Stockley is worth similar. I’m sure there’s plenty of others.

I strongly suspect 24 yr old Stockley would cost a fair bit more.

You can’t be that sure, Cos you haven’t named the ‘plenty’ lol.

None of this matters, until Akinde signs somewhere and the figures are made public

So there are no other strikers worth 200k who Lincoln could’ve gone for? I didn’t offer to present a list for you, that’s Sir Danny’s job to do it.

What I’m saying is, Akinde is a risk after a season in which he scored 7 goals and his side got relegated.

 

[Youpies]

If the Crowley’s don’t pay for strikers who’s signing Akinde...

Trouble in paradise at Sincil Bank

Cambridge are barely relevant in this division, or any division in fact. You're the epitome of a club that just exists for the sake of existing. Doubt any punters ever put you on an accumulator, win or lose.

Enjoy another 12th placed season Big Tommo!

(Forgive me Vinny)

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

£200K? Well for starters they could of signed Hemmings or Dennis and had a fair chunk of change. But would you pick any of those two over Akinde?

Stockley would cost a lot more than £200K. Can you suggest any viable options ? Don’t need a list, but if you are going throw ‘plenty’ around you should be able to name a few.

I’m a gambler. I like gambles. So I say Lincoln City FC , go for it. Strike whilst the iron is hot win me some money
