Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

[Buxton Vale]

Signing of the season incoming... we have actually signed a physio! Last year we didnt actually have one so we had to get permission from the opponents for their physio to accompany our club doctor on the pitch for injuries...

We almost resemble a proper football club now. I'm not used to this!

 

[KeithH]

Mayor is at Ipswich today.

We know
He is at another ground Monday as well.

 

[Indian Dan]

County?

 

[KeithH]

Not been told but Bratfurt was hinted at.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Not been told but Bratfurt was hinted at.

Our ITKs have said we're certainly after him, and having talks I believe. Not likely we'll get him however imo.

 

[Moomin]

2 players incoming shortly.

Looks like one could be Gary Warren ex Yeovil. Very meh but he may just be on trial....

Plus a GK, I believe.

 

[Conker]

Don't think we'll be paying transfer fees this window, certainly not at the level you'd want for him? I'm guessing ~150k?

Absolute shot in the dark but I’m guessing it’s somewhere between that and £100k yeah.

 

[Moomin]

Plus a GK, I believe.

Will be good to get the GK spot sorted.

Warren will be solid I’m sure but just hoping that we eventually sign a striker that will give us real optimism.

 

[Spanishstag]

County?

Hmm just wondering could it be possible

 

[Si Robin]

And it's former Cheltenham legend Chris Banks. An absolute hero at Whaddon Road, was captain of the team from 1994 to 2002 and was there from the Southern League days right up to our promotion to the 3rd tier.

Really hope it works out well for him.

What was the furore I saw on Twitter this morning where Vale had advertised for a media job role with a salary of £0?

The advert was removed so not too sure exactly on the finer points.

 

[dedwardp]

Sounds as though Szmodics is all but confirmed as Bristol City-bound for circa £750k in the next few days or so.

Finally confirmed this morning after dragging out for what feels like forever. I've known Sam since he was about five or six years old and he still only lives a ten minute walk round the corner, genuinely feel a bit gutted to see him in a different kit!

 

[Moomin]

GK Jonny Maxted signed from Accy. 26 games for them in all comps last season, so should be decent competition for Ward

A lot of fuss about nothing, our head of media made an error on the job description and people jumped down on it, its basically a work experience role to go with sport joornalism studies (usually at Keele not far from PV).

Last seasons volunteer has just been taken on in a full time role and the one before that has just landed a role at Barnet in the media so has been a successful scheme.

Cheers for the info.

Joe Quigley is on trial with Mansfield, flew with the squad to Portugal.

The response to this on Twitter really makes me laugh because of his goal scoring record they are not happy, I think a few to many of our fans are spoiled now due to our last few summers.

To be fair Walker didn’t have any sort of record last season, you’ve got to give people a chances .

 

[Stripes]

Joseph Mills from Forest Green the latest name we are linked with. Never heard of him - what's he like?

I'm going into complete meltdown if that comes off ! Lol
He's our best player by a country mile, in my biased opinion.

Seriously, my optimism, for which I'm not renowned, is being fully put to the test thus far. Apparent!y were waiting until the 1st of July when contracts have expired

Is he on a free at the moment? Or on someone's books?

The goals thing is generally bollocks. Loads of people on club forums don't see beyond goals. The amount of shit LJL used to get off Town fans. We'd have killed to have him last season.

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Club news that today our chairman has invested £3million by way of purchase of 3million £1 shares...to help with ongoing finance and infrastructure of the club.

Praying that means playing budget.

He played a number of games for us. Ended up as No2 to Sam Russell. Was widely admired by most of our fans and still is. Went onto Guiseley before moving to Accy.

In fairness, didn't FGR do something similar last season. Winchester wasn't photoed for example until they returned to training, despite it being known about months in advance.

Not according to this post on our site earlier today:

By the last thursday in June 2018 FGR had signed to date during the summer recess :

Thomas
Sanchez -loan
Williams
Mills
Campbell
Winchester
Montgomery
Sheppard
Pearce.

James ,Digby and Archibald (loan ) were signed early July before boot camp .

Just been reading the comments from Accy fans who seem gutted he’s leaving them. Looks like a very good signing for us.

 

[FGR Stroud]

Joseph Mills from Forest Green the latest name we are linked with. Never heard of him - what's he like?

He was on short list for Player of Season.
Would hate to lose him but he now has brother at same club and his family live nearby in Swindon.
Plymouth is a long way from Swindon.

Can't disagree

He did good when with FGR. We created the Conference record of winning first nine games of season with SuperTed in goal.
Sadly he got injured and lost a bit of form before signing for Guiseley where I'm told he virtually singlehandedly saved them from being relegated.
Good luck to him. Very nice guy.

 

[Son of Cod]

Absolutely no bad thing to be no. 2 to Sam Russell either.

I’m assuming free if it’s on trial, maybe they just expect us to spend £700k on each player like Andy Cook.
