Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2024/25

[Madejski]

Lewis Grabban was fucking mince for us, let's not kid ourselves. Looked completely lost and didn't turn up at all in the play-off final.

Did anyone turn up for the play-off final (for either team)?

Lundstram's a good signing for SU - reckon they'll have a good year next season. Top half like Preston and Brentford did in their first year up here.

Goalscoring issues will be our problem. Midfield is more than up to a top half standard imo. Defence is acceptable enough for the division. I'm not keen on our goalie but I suppose he will do. But Sharp,Clarke,lavery and ched if he never becomes good again were gonna have issues.

 

[SF_]

Rumours we've signed a right back.

Makes sense, no sign of Callum Woods this pre-season and Vermijl is a wing back, can't play regularly in a back 4.

Don't you think we'll sign another keeper? Especially now with Moores injury?

Moore went off with a bad injury the other day didn't he?

A proven striker costs big and you won't spend that so I reckon you'll go abroad or for someone from the lower leagues as you have been doing this summer.

Your midfield is decent, as are your full backs - not think O'Connell will be alright in this league? Stearman's up to standard and proven.

Who is your midfield?

Liam Palmer, would he be a decent signing for us?

Never heard of Liam Palmer, but he's 6 foot 2 which will help at set pieces.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Palmer is steady, don't think Walkley rates him. Not really good enough to be in a top 6 sides team but can do a job at this level. He's still only youngish so he could yet improve. Would be pleased if we bring in Hutton to replace him.

I'll take steady when it comes to a full back.

 

[blademan89]

Who is your midfield?

Fleck, Coutts, Duffy, Brooks( great potential), carruthers, lundstrem. More than up to it imo.

Yes I do like I said our defence is acceptable. We may sign a keeper on loan who's proven so that might work out well.

JO'C is probably our best defender and going off reports better than Stearman in pre-season. No concerns over JO'C at all.

Who is your midfield?

Carruthers, Fleck and Coutts have generally been the main central 3 in pre-season

Duffy and Lundstram back-ups atm, not sure where we've been playing young Brooks.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Not sure if it's top half standard but it looks better than Bolton/Millwall's midfield

 

[SF_]

Coutts is bang average at this level.

Seems people were jumping the gun with the Palmer rumour, someone who is usually reliable is saying it's not him.

O'Connell was good for us when he played, did quite well actually, but was never going to get past Bjelland, Dean, Barbet, Tarkowski, or any of the other CBs we had in the side, so it made sense to let him go. No reason he can't do well for many a team in this league though.

Nope he's shit.

I reckon Bolton are under-rated this season. They will do better than expected. (Famous last words)

 

[blademan89]

He was bang average in his 1st season in league one but drastically improved last year

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Says the man who claimed that the easiest way to get money out of China was to buy English football clubs. How does that work then???

I'll pass on your rumours for a while. Worse than HITC and Football League World, mate.

I'm not your mate you fucking tosser.

 

[El Guapo]

Fleck, Coutts, Duffy, Brooks( great potential), carruthers, lundstrem. More than up to it imo.

I don't know about the other players but Duffy looked out of his depth when he played for us. Think his level is League 1.

 

[HertsWolf]

I'm not your mate you fucking tosser.

This is certainly an improvement on your earlier response, but still unacceptable really.

You give out a lot of crap to people, but when you get teased in turn about something you say, you turn to raging personal attacks. Maybe calm down a little?

 

[markwwfc1992]

Bolton always beat us regardless of if they have a good side or not. Think they did the double over us even in their relegation season.

 

[HertsWolf]

I'm perfectly calm sunshine, this isn't remotely raging, now kindly fuck off and die.

smh

 

[TomPNE94]

I've seen Ryan Mclaughlin mentioned on Twitter from Oldham, Conor's brother.

I was messaged that it's Darnell Fisher from Rotherham.

 

[Luke_1884]

Linked with McBigmac.

Please, no.

 

[Ciderup]

We appear to be in for a lad called Niclas Elliasson from IKB Norkopping but the competition is Olympic Lyonnaise. Unbelievably, we appear to be favourites but I can't see a player, albeit a young one (21) turning OL down to come to us.

I assumed that one was dead in the water as soon as Lyon's interest was known but it seems not. Hmmm....
