Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

[Impish]

Very surprised we got Wharton back, excellent player. He obviously liked it here and pushed to come back.

Says a lot for the Cowleys, the dressing room, the fans, the backroom staff, the local restaurants, the cleanliness of both the streets and the air here. Good choice Scott.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Anthony Gerrard could be off to Carlisle.

Leave it out! I’ve just eaten!

 

[Youpies]

I often ask myself when I’m unsure; ‘what would Cowley do’

It gives me faith in dark times

 

[Conker]

Don’t tell me the Flitcroft induced injury crisis has struck already? Is Preston one of those?

Nah nothing to do with him, Mirfin been out long term for a while, and Zander Diamond is also out long-term due to a back problem from last season.

That leaves Pearce and Preston who will probably be our pairing if we go 4 at the back, a youth product and Digby who is more of a midfielder.

 

[Indian Dan]

That’s what ultimately did for us last season - we ran out of fit CBs.

We’re looking for 2 ourselves

Dark in Forest's shadow I'll give you that

It’s been our strongest department for a few years now, Bennett and Pearce were one of the best pairings at this level.

He needs to get this right because he might do three at the back, what did he do at Swindon?

Noticed Cameron broke down again.

Pretty traditional. 2 CBs and 2 full backs. We never had 3 fit CBs to try 3 at the back. Knowing Flitcroft he’ll think he’s some kind of footballing genius and play some weedy winger at CB. He does have a terrible record for multiple injuries on his watch.

Dean Cox to us being mentioned on Twitter after he tweeted one of our fans who said they hoped he’d sign. Even more oddly his Wiki page has been updated to say he’s signed for us: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Cox_(English_footballer)

Still sceptical but would be a good signing I think. Having said that I’m sure he’s always wanted to stay local to his roots? Plus he’s barely played of late so could be a risk if this was true?

You've got plenty of money for this level Dan with the Flint sell on cash.

Anybody can change what his Wiki page says though, then it gets changed back by the mods like it has now.

That’s tucked away into the Power Retirement Plan. He’s tighter than a nun’s chuff

Dark in Forest's shadow I'll give you that

That’s always the problem, when you are based in a good sized , sporting city that can support two football league teams as well as other successful sporting teams.

You wouldn’t understand, your shadows have historically always been much further away and much much smaller.

But you do have a lovely and very impressive cathedral to make a weekend of it.

 

[Moomin]

Yeah it’s now been erased.

Pretty sure it’s not him signing today. expect he will end up at Billericay or somewhere

 

[Conker]

Noticed Cameron broke down again.

It’s a different injury but yeah, I think he’s too risky for us considering we already have two defenders out.

Don’t look like we will be signing him currently but it might change.

 

[UTS]

Don’t look like we will be signing him currently but it might change.

How did he look playing for you guys? He’s as good a defender as you’ll get at L2 but his injuries unfortunately severely hold him back.

 

[GTFCfish]

We’re close to agreeing a permanent deal for Derby’s Charles Vernam, on loan here for part of last season and looked quality in a poor side before getting injured, I’ll be delighted if it all goes through ok.

I suppose you are very much like Nottingham's answer to Shortwood, in the shadow of a more illustrious neighbour called Forest.

 

[Benzel]

Michael Doughty next up for Swindon a couple more signings of his and Diagouraga's calibre in the CB and striker positions and we're way way better off than last season.

 

[Big Bird]

Michael Doughty meant to be signing permanent.

Doughty, Diagouraga, Alzate is a top midfield.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Shortwood?

Anyone?

Thought Vernam looked very decent when you played at our place. But then, the whole team looked good that day which seemed out of character at the time - ball down, passing rings around us!

 

[Buxton Vale]

Shortwood?

Anyone?

I think that FGR are their feeder club.

 

[Chris FGR]

Feeder club? Fuck off. We're by far the bigger club.

And don't pretend you don't know them, they nearly embarrassed you live on TV lol.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

What sport are we talking about now?

Big sporting cities have have more than one professional football team, shocker!

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Feature in the famous Ike and Tina Turner song, Shortwood City Limits

Ex Posh and Stevenage midfielder Tom Conlon expected to sign for us this week.
