Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2023/24

[Son of Cod]

Slocombe and Crocombe be far too confusing.

The ITV detective series nobody asked for. Both vying for that #1 jersey so they don't get along but by God do they get results when they're cracking a case.

Oh well.

 

[Mighty_Bantam]

It was dragging on too long for it to happen.

But typical of us that.

Allowed to call him injury prone now?

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

Is he off to Wrexham then?

EDIT: Just read the article - Gillingham with a last minute gazumping. Stocky a big spreadsheet update needed here.

 

[Mighty_Bantam]

Gillingham

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Let's hope so. I would be really happy with Williams and hopefully Agyei

Looks like he was right!

 

[Indian Dan]

Not saying a bullet dodged by any means but i doubt he’ll be worth whatever silly money he’s signing for.

 

[F!RTHY]

Never wanted him anyway …

 

[Conker]

It’s a good signing but the situation indicates they are paying him something no L2 should ever earn.

According to the article, our offer was a significant improvement on what you were paying him. And Gillingham have come in and outbid that so he's getting a good increase! And I don't think he was on a pittance at Swindon was he?

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

Our local reporter has confirmed GK and LCB as two areas we are looking and suggested they might be the signings first through the door.

Also Priestley is of interest from Brentford though it looks like he’s going to end up in L1 so will probably have to look elsewhere for a striker.

Now I know how the Mansfield fan’s feel.

It’s no surprise we didn’t even bother offering him a new contract. I think the perceived wisdom was he was on c £4k.

Wait till the Gillingham fans come on and tell you money isn’t the reason he’s moved there

 

[Carver]

Yes it's because playing for Gillingham is a dream.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

The dream factory strikes again, rumours are Gillingham have offered him half our contract and a year less and he was willing to walk down there from the hotel in Leeds he was staying in.

Well he was born in Kent etc…

Don’t really know much about him, what kind of player is he Swindon fans? Seems he’s had quite a few injury issues too, possibility he’s the next Aidan O’Brien

 

[Indian Dan]

Looks like one of the dwarves from Lord of the Rings. Never really takes a game by the scruff of the neck but has moments of quality that’ll set up a chance. Think he had his best scoring season with us. Annoyingly falls over a lot in the hope of getting a free kick. Refs cottoned on to him last season and probably didn’t get some decisions he should have.

[LS Bantam]

Fairly pissed off, he would’ve suited us well in a position we’re lacking but even at this stage when everything’s agreed he’s still searching for that extra few quid and he’s got it, with that thinking they’re welcome to him.

 

[クレイグ]

Heard we're not signing Agyei either. Not sure if we were ever in for him but we obviously wanted Critchlow and Williams and missed out on both it seems. Kinda disappointing but plenty of other options out there.

Hearing Josh Vickers is our primary target for our vacancy in goal

Completely random comment on this, but I work with his uncle. They don't really see each other much these days what with him mainly being up north!

 

[GFCSludge]

Gazumped by Gillingham, what has the world come to?

I can see why you’re pissed off, I would be too and it’s happened to us the other way round before. Without claiming he’s signed solely for this purpose, he won’t have to move his family.

Nothing official at our end yet though

 

[Indian Dan]

He’ll get mega shit from the fans of 2 clubs now!

 

[jacobncfc]

Terence Vancooten from Stevenage apparently. Superb name, know nothing else but I am sold on that alone.

Ex Rotherham and Lincoln keeper?

 

[Luke Imp]

Hearing Josh Vickers is our primary target for our vacancy in goal

There were whispers he might be coming back here but a) I think it was laziness from others because he lives in Lincoln and b) he'd be a downgrade on the three 'keepers we've had on loan in L1 anyway so wouldn't make sense.

You'll not get a full season out of him if he's first choice, he's got a persistent thigh issue that reoccurs every season because of his kicking style. He battled through it a bit better in his final season with us and got to about 30 games but didn't even make 20 in his two others seasons.

Quite small for a 'keeper as well, not the most vocal or commanding either. Good shot stopper, though.
