Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

[ShrimpsMeltdown]

Trust me, when you've watched Hallam Hope and Marcus Dackers upfront all season, anything is better! Dallas stinks of a Derek signing aswell, someone who has lost their way and needs a strange man's arm around him? Adams is your man.

Derek has also said recently that we had a deal in place for Duffy before Chesterfield signed him, but we had to pull out because of the embargo. Now it's "sorted" we could do with another winger.

 

[BarraMatt]

We've just signed a striker who can't get in Bromleys team yippee!!!

Bromley fans will find that comment a bit Cheeky.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

I’d say the issue with Carlisle is he’s not coming in as a first choice I think he is going as a first choice at Morecambe.

If your not drastically wanting to play in non league and trying to get into a shop window Morecambe is a better choice

 

[OneDecentLester]

Confirmed by the club now. A little bit underwhelmed, it's a career trajectory I've seen so many times before. Lad with pace and raw ability but can't put it together consistently and slips further through the pyramid. Wigan fans weren't keen either. Still, it's only a loan I suppose and it's unfair to the lad to be judging before he's played.

I’ve seen this lad featured in 8 premier league games last season for Brentford & has had x2 short league 1 loans to his name that will have only improved him in terms of adapting to the men’s game.

From bits I’ve seen/heard about him I’m quite excited with this one. Full of pace, good dribbler and can play off the right & left. Looking forward to seeing what he can do. Cook rarely misses when it comes to wingers/attacking midfielders.

 

[OneDecentLester]

Few bits from us today then..

Michael Olakigbe, winger on loan from Brentford for the rest of the season as discussed above. Been at Wigan in the first half of the season, & had a short spell at Peterborough last year too.

Dylan Duffy, 22 year old winger we signed on loan from Lincoln on Monday, has today had his loan turned permanent for an undisclosed fee and signed until 2027. Looked promising vs Bromley tbf so looks decent business to me.

Young full back Liam Jessop gone on loan to Worksop in the Northern Prem. Expect we’ll see a few more heading out over next couple of days.

 

[Boz]

Rovers finally make a signing, Scouser Jake Garrett, young defensive midfielder on loan from Blackburn. He spent the first half of the season at the Brizzle Rovers but got very little game time, though seems to be well rated by his parent club. Maybe he'll do better closer to his home patch, though I'm unsure that coming to Tranmere in our current state is good for any youngster and it's hard to assess how much need we had for another midfielder. Good luck to Jake.

 

[Spireitelass97]

Why do Chesterfield fans refer to the club as Town? Were they called Chesterfield Town at some point?

Yeah like a century ago, for a few seasons

 

[codaplenty]

Brendan Cover on loan till end of season. He was at Port Vale prior - any good you Vale lads?

 

[AlanPep]

We've just signed a striker who can't get in Bromleys team yippee!!!

You must be seeing something we didn’t in him, good luck to Levi but he was never dislodging Cheeky, and we’ve now bought in a Millwall youngster on loan to replace him

 

[GTFCfish]

Probably pick of the bunch is Levi Amantchi leaving Bromley to sign for Walsall.

Sounds like Bromley have had Walsall’s pants down there.

Think Drummond & Hobson will go out on loan. Barnet fans would love Hobson back

Agreed, Hobson I could see going permanently. End of day both were only brought back to cover injuries and now we’re starting to get a squad back together, it makes sense to send both out again to play regular football.

I can also see Daley-Campbell & Akinola going out on loan too.

Brendan Cover on loan till end of season. He was at Port Vale prior - any good you Vale lads?

Good player. We used him at RWB mostly but he can also play as an orthodox RB and in midfield though we never used him there in the latter. To be honest the only reason his loan was ended with us was we’ve got Kyle John, Mitch Clark and Tom Sang who can play there so time on the pitch would be limited. Would say he’s stronger going forward than defending at the moment but he won’t let you down.

 

[Jimmy Anderson]

I thought cover was good initially and then became crap once the teams form went down hill in November and December.

 

[We Are Sailing]

That is a truly awful signing. Genuinely shocked by that.

 

[GTFCfish]

Andrew Dallas has had his say on his move:

“I was due to sign for Carlisle but then I read the 1FF forum and the Carlisle fans seem a bit loony, there’s this one guy who predicts them to lose 4-0 every week even in the season they got promoted and another one who changes his mind between definitely being relegated or getting in the play offs depending on that weeks result.
So fuck that I’d rather sign for bottom of the league Morecambe on less money instead.”

I’d forgotten about Akinola tbh. Not heard anything about Daley-Campbell for ages. No idea if he’s still injured. Feel like we may not see him again

 

[mozzavale]

Brendan Cover on loan till end of season. He was at Port Vale prior - any good you Vale lads?

Good player but definitely one the opposition could target. Was good v Swindon and Wimbledon at home, but was poor against Accrington and Morecambe away. Casual sometimes, cost us 2 points (equally as much as Harper) against Crewe with shocking defending to let the cross come in. Really half hearted, then we've not seen much of him since then. He's one of them that is benefitting from loans whilst he's young, but can be a liability at times.

GTFC squad travelling to Bromley? - not taking any shite from Feckiecunt Woodman this time...or is it how our new signing is travelling to the town of Grim

 

[Pompeyblueboy]

I'm no physio so could be talking complete shite, but I wonder if the 6 month break will actually help him, and has allowed his body to recover? I believe he's been training with your 1st team and hasn't missed a session through injury all season, and he's played in some behind closed doors friendlies. Sounds like he's not far off match fitness, and we should see him in the 2nd half on Saturday.

Like I say he's a fantastic player and I hope he stays injury free for you.

When he was out last season injured everyone of the Pompey fans I know wished he'd get fit. Such an exciting player.

Brendan Cover on loan till end of season. He was at Port Vale prior - any good you Vale lads?

Was excellent when he first came. Good attacking right wing back with good ability and scored a couple.

He has, however, got a bit of a casual manner about him, which caused him to be the fault behind a couple of goals. His form went rapidly downhill with the team, but there's definitely ability there.

He's typical of a young loanee. A mixed bag of very good vs very inexperienced.

Nice attempt to avoid the the Dartford crossing and ULEZ fees, well played

 

[leedsvaliant]

A little trickle that we might be getting Paul Mullen on loan. Don't think it could be true but we are supposedly signing a 'name' before deadline. This has come from a couple of different people.

Could be possible. They are flashing the Hollywood chequebook so a few of the lads from the NL seasons are now available I think, Palmer and Mullin or both. I think both would be good signings for anyone at this level.

Feels like he's had his day but conversely could be the 'Lee Hughes' signing we made in 2013.

 

[SuperHans]

I don't think he was all that good really. Town fans tend to have an inflated opinion of Dallas based on how he ended his stint here. A hattrick put a shine on his stats, but until then he'd gone his first 8 or 9 games without scoring and looked pretty invisible doing it. I suspect he's someone affected by confidence more than most.

I really liked him. Much preferred him to Paul McCallum

A bit of debate in Notts circles about whether we’d have him on loan. Some of the mental ones saying no. Fuckin ell I would.

Wrexham fans call themselves Town as well apparently.

I give it 2 or 3 games before a section of our fanbase will be all over Twitter calling him shit.
