Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2024/25

[Kenneth E End]

Was referring to the £18m cap that clearly is irrelevant for us, but seemingly PL relegated clubs will be exempt anyway which is a scandal in itself!

Phone jammed up. So was trying to say. Some tough decisions. A lot will depend on what Judas wants and thinks of GJ players. He brought several in from the cold, notebly Lee and jettisoned some. Im surpised he didnt rotate more in that crazy run of games esp midfield and steikers, Pelly is exhausted

Not sure when Kane will be fit but he looked very useful and can fill Rea spot or be the second ifnwe play a 4231. We need to keep Rea. And build a team around him. I wouldnt bring Brown back. I think he disrupts the rhythmn despite his creativity. Bree i wouldnt either. Hes been great since restart but was terrible today and i dont rhink hes what we need. Depends if Judas can get more out of him. Lets try this Kioso kid. Cranie Butterfield Moncur McMann im up in the air on. Shift Tunnicliffe immediately. Hylton id keep if we dont buy but think hell go. Kaz will prob wanna go sick of being a sub. Id controversially not be unhappy to see Harry go. Wouldnt be surpised to see a Collins offer.

It’s going to be some real tough decisions. He mentioned last night about wanting to keep “the group“ together but wanting to add some quality. Pretty generic and open to interpretation but I would have thought that meant keeping “his” players (Berry, Lee, Rea et al). The fact he didn’t rotate Pelly despite him being knackered says a lot both about Pelly and the others who could have played I think.

I’m an unashamed Luke Berry fan and he showed his class in the run in - must keep for me alongside Rea. Don’t want to be too mean today of all day’s but what on Earth Tunnicliffe was doing playing over Berry will remain a mystery to me. Especially as Berry came back in and played out if his natural position at times to accommodate.

Rea is an obvious must keep like night and day between him in the side or out. He actually is one of my neighbours so I’ll slip in a good word once his hangover has worn offbit of a party there last night ha!

The others like Hylton I think it’s time to move on with. He’s not quite been the same for a little while now, probably that injury back in League 2.

Of the Loanees Bree is an interesting one. I’m wary he only really upped his game at the end. I have a suspicion we could get better than him there but I wouldn’t be upset if he came back. CCV id love but I wonder if a bigger Championship club will have seen his performances and take a look.

For me at minimum we need 2 new fullbacks (seriously Potts has done us good service but it’s time to move on for me), A centre half (hopefully CCV) an attacking midfield player and probably another forward to compete with Collins for that lead centre forward role.

 

[BelizeHatter]

Harry?

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

He is one of the few we have who I think we could get a decent fee for. Im a little concerned that we dont have a group of young players who are on the cusp of making that next step. How we got here was having JJ, Stacey and getting good money for players like Vassell, Marriott, McGeehan to re-invest. The cupboards a bit bare in that "young and hungry" type that you can develop and sell for big money which is i think the most sustainable type of model we can hope for at this level. If we get an offer I think I might take it and re-invest in the squad a bit.

Wouldnt surprise me if there were other Championship clubs wanting to take a look, he gets himself in so many chances with his pace and 9 goals in a side that didnt create a great deal isnt too bad. Hed be attractive in this market as he wouldn't be that expensive i dont think and his wages wouldnt be huge either. He could have easily got a few more just with the chances he made himself and there will be some manager how there who will think he can coach him how to finish!

 

[BelizeHatter]

I wish we could teach him finishing as his speed, positioning and thought process are great. Then he just loses all composure when he can see the goal

Just like at Leeds? He’s not given enough credit... strikers don’t finish every single time (he’s not an out striker anyway); people just give him this label. He’s just had the best season of his career... certainly in my eyes worth £1m and getting better all of the time.

 

[Kenneth E End]

Leeds, Millwall, Middlesbrough, Preston, QPR and others are interested in Kieffer Moore from Wigan and several have had bids accepted, likely to be around the £2m mark.

Collins has scored 59 goals in 3 seasons for us and about a dozen more than Moore in the last couple; admittedly a couple of years older than him but what does that make him worth!?

We are more interested in geldhardt

Dont get me wrong i like Harry and did give him credit for getting in those one on one positions. He could be worth a fortune if someone could teach him to slow down his brain, be calm and think rather than being a premeture ejaculation.

I imagine hes a nice guy and his misses hurt him personally. Prob part if the problem and needs to get a nasty hard streak and not care. Judas needs to find someone who can reach the lad and calm him down in those spots, as its almost certainly a mental issue - as when he has less time to think he can do a Leeds.

For every Leeds theres three or four Barnsleys

 

[BelizeHatter]

Time for me to man up........ maybe he reads our drivel.......Jones needs to find someone to teach the lad.

No chance we we're in for Moore.

We don't pay £2m+ for players and he's on a good wage at Wigan, more than we would offer.

I'd happily have Collins here, definitely looking at upwards of £1.5m though.

I reckon we'll end up with that Blackpool fucker, Gnanduillet as he's free.

He's an upgrade on a 35yr old Nugent but that doesn't say much.

You spent £2m on Bayliss last summer and he's only played 15 minutes of league football! What on earth is going on with that?

Bayliss was about £1.2m up front and his wages were low so we spent our budget on him rather than a striker for some reason. He got injured just when it looked like he was going to get his chance, will play his part next season.

Think he'll be Paul Gallagher's long term replacement.

David Healy remains our transfer record of £1.5m, rising to 1.8m back in 2001...

 

[Kenneth E End]

Barnsley, Rangers and others have had a £1m bid rejected for Lyndon Dykes at Livingston - they want double that. He scored 12 in 33 games last season.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

According to the twitter rumour mill we, and a host of other Championship clubs - Birmingham, Coventry and others, are looking at Owen Otasowie from Wolves.

Centre back/defensive midfield player apparently. USA youth international and seems highly regarded at Wolves. We need a centre half and could also do with cover at DM so makes sense as a rumour at least.

 

[SF_]

Tabloids have linked us with a loan move for Reo Griffiths from Lyon, 20yr old striker, formerly of Spurs.

Type of deal we need to look at, how little we used the loan market this season is a disgrace really.

 

[Millwall_Matt]

Ryan woods from stoke a done deal. Also be linked with glen rea from Luton

 

[SF_]

Always rated Woods from his Shrewsbury days, think Millwall will do well again next season.

 

[Atavistic]

Seems Sky beat the club to the punch in announcing our latest signing: 18 year old right back Bali Mumba signs on a 4-year contract from Sunderland, having spent last season on loan at 7th tier South Shields.
Assume he'll be going out on loan to a League 1 or 2 club initially, as it seems too much of a jump to expect him to go straight into the first team.

EDIT: Apparently seen as back-up by Farke, so that more or less confirms that Aarons will be off somewhere this window (with Bayern Munich having recently expressed interest according to the local rumour mill).

 

[Craig]

Kieffer Moore to Leeds would be brilliant.

Losing Rea would be a massive loss for us.

It’s from one of our forums. Could be bullshit

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Saw it on Outlaws as well so almost certainly bullshit

In all seriousness I’d be pretty gutted if he left but I think Millwall would be a good move for him. You see quite upwardly mobile right now, probably looking to target playoffs next season, but not that big a club where he’d struggle to get a kick (with all due respect intended). I could see the attraction from his perspective.

I wonder if we have a sell on of any kind for Aarons. He was with us at youth level but I’m not sure if he was one of those who got to leave for nothing during the conference years.

Kenneth E End will probably know?

We also got Jamal Lewis from you, didn't we? He could well also be on his way, so there's the potential for you to be in for a decent payday if both leave as expected.

Don’t think it’ll be much. He was one of those that Gregg Broughton took with him when he left here for Norwich and scared the whole academy by saying that the players had no future here in non league. Even if it’s 5%, 5% of £10m is still £500k which will do nicely in the current climate.

 

[SF_]

It's all agent bollocks at the minute but us & Millwall linked to Ben Heneghan, centre back released by Sheff Utd, been on loan at the scum for the past two seasons.

Imagine he would be a direct replacement for Tom Clarke if its true, unless Huntington is moving on as well.

I’d be very surprised if we were looking for a centre half unless cooper is off for good money. We’ve got plenty in that position

No offence could possibly be taken. Two similar sized clubs but we’ve established ourselves a bit more. Could be a good year for a few unfavoured clubs I think
