Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2023/24

[Tranmerewhite]

Cole Stockton going to Wrexham apparently. Would make sense as we only signed him due to being best mates with Norwood who appears to be on his way out anyway.

Apparently signing a winger from Spurs; Shilo Tracey. Would be his first proper run in a team so a bit of a gamble.

Manny Monthe being scouted by a series of League one and Championship clubs. Incredible that FGR couldn’t see that in him and that we only gave a one year contract

Odd as he was captain for the game Saturday against Cheltenham. Good player, passes the ball well but imho tries too many Hollywood balls. Plays the Pirlo role and about as mobile. Does have a habit of playing teammates into trouble on the edge of our box.

Having given all that criticism he is not one I'd be happy to lose. Played every (?) game since Cioffe came in so the manager rates him too.

Casey

Strange one, would be a sideways move as all three clubs are in a similar position!

Stockton to Wrexham confirmed on loan till season end.

Done nothing this season and never had a good affiliation with fans despite being an academy player.

Chris Powell was at your game on Friday looking at one of your players we are in the market for new strikers so could potentially be Norwood I'm guessing. Saw your post about Monthe but we don't need a centre half.

Connor Jennings has had a lot of interest too. Bit of an unsung hero for us despite having 8 goals and 7 assists playing mostly out of position on left midfield.

One of the fittest players outside PL. ran 14km vs Aldershot in one game (source Mickey Mellon) which is higher than the 13.7k everyone is raving about Fernandinho doing vs Liverpool.

He’s under contract for another year though fortunately.

His career has been a succession of false starts, remember when you signed him you had optimism that this was a good signing.

No disrespect meant here, but once Norwood leaves, he wont be going to Southend. Rumours that Derby and Stoke are interested. Monthe is a lot more likely. Seems to be down south quite a lot so would probably prefer to live down there.

None taken but he's 28 only proven in conference and L2, would of thought he would of been snapped up before now if going to Championship. Not saying we're going to sign him anyway he just seems the most likely player to be looked at, knowing what we need.

If he received proper support I think he’d be a good league two player. He seems to be affected by abuse more than other players and his head drops very quickly. Probably why he did well at Morecambe where there are no expectations and also the fact he’s replaced Andy Cook who scored over 50 goals in 2 seasons for us.

We have agreed terms with Swindon for Marc Richards apparently. Swindon fans, any good?

So it is, thank fuck for that.

Richards is a good player to have if you are creating plenty of chances to put away.

We need a poacher. We are terrible in front of goal but create endless chances. Think there was a stat that had us and Mansfield as the two sides with the most counter attacks resulting in a shot.

 

[JJ1532]

Brad Walker set to sign with Shrewsbury is seems. Odd one. On the one hand, we signed him, he barely played and didn't look very good when he did. But we almost never gave him a run in midfield, which is where he was signed to play and where he got spotted whilst at Hartlepool. Plus, it's where Wrexham got some success out of him.

But, he's being signed by Ricketts clearly because he rates Walker, but basing it solely off his form in the conference. They're signing him and expecting him to do a job in L1? Hmm, not sure about that. But, if he does do well, then serious questions have to be asked about our current management team.

Still got a feeling we might go for Richards.

Quiet at LN5 but I suspect things will start moving back end of this week.

Bradford have until 14th January to recall McCartan is the only new-ish bit of news.

 

[Luke Imp]

And with that, CB Cian Bolger from Fleetwood being mentioned as a potential signing, which would suggest that we'll probably sell James Wilson as well as allowing Blackburn to recall Wharton.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

We are announcing 2 signings at 6pm.

Meltdown inducing or genuine playoff challenging signings? I know where my money is..

Harvey Gilmour (not heard of him) and Ishmael Miller.

Harvey Gilmour (not heard of him) and Ishmael Miller.

Gilmour is a promising central midfielder we've had on loan from Sheff Utd, definitely one who will improve over the time and grow with the team and the type of signing we should be making with a view to medium term..

Miller.. not convinced in the slightest. Crying out for someone that doesn't take 5 chances to score and we sign a bloke with no work ethic or proven goal scoring record. It is only till the end of the season though and he can't be worse than Stockton was, but it doesn't strike me as the signing to push us into top 7. All on Norwood and Connor Jennings still.

one of each then?

 

[Back in the DHSS]

Is Ronnie Moore coming back as manager or something, Ishmael Miller Jesus f#@king wept?

 

[Conker]

Still got a feeling we might go for Richards.

I said the other week when he came on against us he would be perfect to bring on to bag a goal in the last 20.

I knew thatbwas powell , he was on the left hand side of the spurs end. My mate argued it wasnt him

 

[Moomin]

Couple of Twitter ITK accounts saying we’ve bid £70k for Kabongo Tshimanga at Oxford City. He scored a hat trick at Tranmere in the FA Cup this season and looks a prospect.

It’s most likely bollocks but I think we could do with another forward especially as Tristan Abrahams has gone back to Norwich.

I dunno if the fee is true or anything but the interest is real.

What the interest from us is real?

 

[Luke Imp]

Bradford are after Sam Surridge but a 'leading L2 club' are also interested.

If we're taking it literally, it us, but leading could in theory mean us, MK, Mansfield or Bury.

It’s probably one of us.
