Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2024/25

Linked to Bournemouth's Shaun MacDonald.

Ugliest man i've ever seen.

Is he the ginger lad who scored against us last week? Looked decent to be fair.

 

[HertsWolf]

Our Steve Morgan interested in a transfer to Liverpool, it seems.

Yeah, seems odd considering we need another centre back and Alan Browne has come into the side and done alright.

Grayson fucking loves a loan.

Emmanuel Riviere linked with us from Newcastle. Sounds like this years Yannick Sagbo to be honest.

Sounds like a faith healer, tbh.

Buckley confirmed. Can make debut tomorrow.

We've signed Paddy McCarthy on a 3 month loan.

Preston got Cunningham for free. What a fucking embarrasment.

[Ciderhead]

Don't believe everything you read on twitter. Someone hasn't been a regular follower of Cunningham's account

Did we? According to who?

Probably the best LB I've ever seen wear a PNE shirt.

Someone said that Cunningham was the best £400,000 ever spent at PNE, and he replied saying it was £0.

Some transfers on our end:

Tommy Rowe joined Scunthorpe on loan.
George Saville loaned to Millwall.
Aaron McCarey joins Portsmouth on loan.

Tommy Rowe joined Scunthorpe on loan.
George Saville loaned to Millwall.
Aaron McCarey joins Portsmouth on loan.

Not happy about Rowe going out and would like to be able to compare him and Golbourne.

Feel that George Saville has had his time though. He's one of a large number of players who could be in our midfield. And he's not young either. He's 22, so one of our older players. I know Granpa Rowe is much older but he's more of a niche player.

McCarey will be back as soon as Carl loses his rag and slams in a transfer request, which could be anytime soon. I appreciate that Martinez is doing very well for us now, but I didn't think we had a goalkeeping problem until suddenly we had a goalkeeping problem. Ikeme must be livid. We may have a loaned goalkeeper who is maybe a few percentage points better, but the unsettling impact on our keepers will cause a longer term problem. I can see Martinez going back next summer (or sooner) and then who will we have for our first season back in the PL? McCarey and Flatt?

Not really sure about Rowe, when we signed him I thought he was going to force himself as one of the first players picked on the team sheet. Mainly due to injury his Wolves career has never really set off, maybe this loan is his last chance to prove he is good enough for Wolves? Golbourne is okay, but if we have have ambition to go for the playoffs or more, then I think we may need someone who is more capable defensively.

Martinez is a strange one. He has improved in the last few games no doubt, but as you say it's strange to be playing loaned players over our permanent players who are both similar skill wise. The Ojo and Bryne situation is similar, and as much as I like Ojo of late, I'd rather play Bryne and improve him as a player than moulding Liverpool's academy players. As you say Ikeme had the best season of his career last year and now he's back to square 1 of being left on the bench. Losing one of the two by the end of the season is a certainty, whilst losing both is a possibility. Replacing Ikeme in this league could be difficult, personally I think we should have done a lot more to keep Tomasz Kusczcak though.

We have officially turned down an approach from Rotherham for Dean Smith.

Your not the only club who's manager were trying to approach apparently, ive heard we tried approaching Jimmy Floyd from Burton who also rejected and Alan Stubbs from Hibernian aswel, theres another rumour that we got an eye on Bury's David Flitcroft aswel but Neil Redfearn is still the odds on favourite.

According to the national press you also approached Edinburgh.

Apparently he said he would rather pay Steve Evans' lunch bill than manage Rotherham.

He might be able to afford it if he came to manage the millers.

But I thought you poor little things had to get by on a meagre tiny budget?

 

[Saddlerrad]

It's a tough one Rotherham. Why leave for a club who (with no disrespect at all) are going to be a yo-yo club for the forseeable future and are very unlikely to ever be able to compete above the bottom half of the league with the size of the parachute payments and the staple bunch of Championship clubs who are yearly play-off candidates. In the respective minds of Edinburgh, Flitcroft, Smith and JFH (or any manager currently attracting attention by being successful at a lower league club) - if they get the clubs they are at promoted on the budgets they are on currently, much bigger fish than Rotherham coming swimming by in the near future.

Why leave somewhere you are settled and loved by the fans, to a club who are already in a very poor position and want virtually/almost instant success in a much, much harder division? Again, I say this in realistic tone, not an offensive one but Rotherham currently just strike me as a club or are battling the when not/if problem. If they don't go down this season..they will be favourites again to do so next season..just like they were last.

They'd be better off taking a manager who needs a fresh challenge or has been on the sidelines for a while with Championship experience. Someone like Brian McDermott etc.

He would get paid a better wage to start with, if he wants to go further in his managerial career, then he needs to make a step up while ever he can, if we did appoint him and he does a good job in the championship, then his stock would be really high and he will get offers at bigger clubs eventually, he might never get an opportunity to manage in the championship again if he doesn't come, especially if Walsall start to slide down the table.

Basically nobody wants to go to little old Rotherham.
