Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

[Luke Imp]

Tom Pett is on his way to Oldham on loan for the rest of the season.

He's on a League 1 wage and isn't going to get a starting place. His missus (a Man Utd Women's player) is pregnant and he's from up that way. To be honest, I can't believe he started this season with us.

Wish him all the best, his signing changed our season around last season.

I liked Pett, he wasn't the most pacey of midfield players but technically he was pretty sound. A really tidy player.

We've announced some left back called Jack Sparkes. He's been operating in League One but other than that I know nothing about him

I think we're pushing the 'highly rated' line at 24 years old!

He was pretty much signing for us last summer until Portsmouth stepped in, which from memory Exeter fans were surprised he got such a good move to them because I got the impression he's got a good cross but isn't a great defender - probably proved by Posh seemingly choosing to rebuild their defence mid-season (denzel ecfc, HutchECFC will be able to give you more).

Yeah some of our fans have been a bit over the top about accusing Lincoln of playing games to try and incite a bidding war lol .
I think it's what you said you need to bring more players in before anyone goes out.

You're always gonna get a few of them fans on Twitter or Facebook.

We should just move on and look elsewhere. We've made our effort, it's been rejected - now move on and look elsewhere. Walsall fans have a habit of clinging on to the hope of former players returning though.

We signed a striker yesterday but Cadamarteri is apparently set for a spell on the sidelines after missing last weekend's game, and a game which Moylan went off injured as well, so despite that we're still light up front (well, four available strikers but I don't think we'll want to be below that after the January window, especially when two of them are Draper and Makama, two 20 year old's from the Academy).

Pett was quality for us, real cog in helping us get promoted under DC. Just keeps things ticking over and does the simple things right, similar to Croasdale who is probably the first player we've signed to really replace him 2 years on!

I think any Carlisle player is hard to judge really.

On paper you could say the entire lot and total and utter crap, have been for months, have terrible morale, poor attitude and lack passion and fight……..results suggest it.

But on other hand it’s a vipers pit at present, I’d say you could sign the best player in the division and a good possible chance he’d flop because the whole club would drop the performance while some of the crap here could possibly go elsewhere, fresh start, more eager and in form players around them and possibly turn themselves around.

That's fair comment mate, it's sods law a
player under performs at a club, moves to another and has a new lease of life.
So many things can contribute to it. Just as an aside Lee Johnson who was with us for a very short period as manager seems to have disappeared. Does anybody know if he's at another club ?

Pretty much what Luke said, he can cross a ball, has a decent shot on him, but can't defend for toffee. Which happens to be quite important for a left back. League 2 is probably his level, and was very surprised he went to Pompey when he did, and again when Posh picked him up.
By all accounts had a falling out with Caldwell, so least you will have something to talk to him about.

I like him already.

Anyone that plays as a first choice regular in a team that won league 1 last season will do for me. His style sounds very much like a Paul Cook full back so no surprise we’ve gone for him, and I’m looking forward to seeing how he gets on.

Yes I saw you signed Collins Yesterday that should be a decent signing for you plenty of experience and knows where the net is.

He will be class. He can also play on the LW if needed.

Buzzing with this one. Proper leader at the back that we’ve missed since losing Dunkley early in the season.

Also means Naylor back in midfield at last!!!
