Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2023/24

[SF_]

Not bad for both clubs that surely? You paid us £25k and will make £7 Million, We paid nothing to Whitby I think and will make around £1.75 Million.

Definitely.

We can't refuse that sort of cash, hopefully there's enough time to spend a bit of it tonight.

Kyle Howkins signs on loan from WBA... any good Mansfield and Cambridge fans?

 

[Buxton Vale]

apparently hes 6ft 5inches tall

So was Clayton McDonald but he couldn't head anything!

 

[Chris FGR]

So I make that 9 in and 9 out so far this window, with a couple more outs and maybe another in still possible. Busy month.

 

[Buxton Vale]

fair point

 

[Richard Cranium]

Kyle Howkins signs on loan from WBA... any good Mansfield and Cambridge fans?

Think he split the opinion here. At times he looked so assured and a real presence at the back but more often than not IMO he looked a bag of nerves and often made mistakes. Not costly ones but still a mistake.

We are finalising another one now. Imagine it will be a striker but no idea who!

 

[Dave-Vale]

Pretty sure we are just going to sign centre backs and play 9-0-1 for the rest of the season.

Dunno. Think he only played once for about ten minutes for us

 

[Conker]

Calum Butcher has gone on loan to Billericay Town until the end of the season.

When I first seen this I thought it explained why he’s been really poor when he’s played in that he has the wrong mindset (why else would you go to Billericay) but he can’t play for another league club this season due to already being at Millwall too.

Feel a bit sorry for him because he could of gone to another L1/2 club easily if he was allowed.

 

[valefan16]

Callum Howe from Lincoln, undisclosed fee... another bloody centre half!

 

[darren gregory]

Any views Imps fans? Doesn't even have a wiki page. Looks like probably never played for you as loaned to Eastleigh.

 

[Dave-Vale]

Wtf is going on here? I wouldn’t be surprised if we enquired about 20 or so centre backs and some clerical error means we have ended up signing all of them.

 

[Indian Dan]

You’re Supposed to be getting Kasim from Northampton

 

[Luke Imp]

Callum Howe from Lincoln, undisclosed fee... another bloody centre half!

You to CB's are like us and wingers.

Callum's a weird one. Not a bad CB but never nailed down a place in 2½ years and made more appearances out on loan than here. Doesn't seem to be quite good enough. Went to Southport last season and got made captain there pretty much straight away and did exactly the same at Eastleigh in the first half of this season so he's obviously got some leadership quality about him but at both clubs they still conceded a fair amount of goals, though, so he's not one who's going to come in and tighten the ship.

From memory, and I stand to be corrected, we never looked overly sure at the back when he did play. Not because he made mistake after mistake, he just didn't seem quite good enough but we kept him as someone who may have turned out ok.

In short, despite being here for 2½ years we don't actually know for sure whether he's particularly good but at 23, he should have made an impression here by now and hasn't. That probably tells the story. If we've got a fee for him, it's good business.

 

[Luke Imp]

We've signed CB Scott Wharton on loan from Blackburn.

Spent a short while at Cambridge last season?

 

[Aberstone]

Any rumours of the fee paid for Tom Pett Lincoln fans, we had a 20% sell on clause but given he had 6 months left on his deal I'm guessing it was pittance.

 

[ShrimpsMeltdown]

He’s no wing back, tracking back and tackling is not his thing. If you play him you have to accept he is an out and out winger, and just tell him to pin his ears back and run. He can be exciting, but like all wingers he can disappear. Has not got a bad shot on him.

All really depends on how you want to play. We played narrow this year and he did not feature.

I'd take any formation that actually makes us attack teams at home rather than setting up defensively and playing for a point, which we're crap at and do all the time.

 

[Agombar stool]

We've signed Rollin Meyonase on loan from Bristol Rovers. 20 year old CB.

Certainly need more cover at the back. Just have no idea what kind of player he is!

Only 1 more out from us I believe tonight.

 

[Gassy]

This could be a great signing for both clubs.

From the few games he’s played in he has really looked a class act. Strong, powerful and fast.

I hope he does well and next season he can come knocking on the door as a regular starter.

 

[TommoCUFC]

We've signed CB Scott Wharton on loan from Blackburn.

He’s quality. Really comfortable on the ball

 

[valefan16]

Wasn’t he good when you were good in league one?

 

[Agombar stool]

Wasn’t he good when you were good in league one?

He was a fans favourite when we were in league 1 but that was when we had Mass Luongo, Ben Gladwin and we were playing some brilliant football. Kasim seemed to go absolutely backwards and when he left he was a shadow of the player he was. This is more than likely as he was playing in a class team, but I hope he can show some of that form as he seems to have lost his way a bit.

 

[cufc17]

Some Loanee keeper from Everton. Exciting

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

We're signing Jonson Clarke-Harris from Rotherham, former academy player but also notable prick

 

[Boletus Edulis]

We have released back up CB Jakub Sokolik. His contract has been terminated, so he will be available on a free, might therefore be snatched up next week.

Think he got found out at League 1, but last year I rated him, looked comfortable on the ball. Not a traditional blood and snotters CB, seemed a bit more cultured. I still remember his first game for us when he made a precision pass to Carey, who in turn made a precision pass to Taylor who scored against Exeter. From our box to in their goal in seconds, and all along the ground.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Flynn Downes and Lloyd Jones both been confirmed.

Slightly intrigued by the Downes signing, wasn't a position i thought we would be looking at given the amount of Centre Mids we have in our ranks. Unless he is a defensive midfield player its an odd one, or possibly means one of Pelly/Cook/Gambin/D'ath are going perhaps.

 

[Chris FGR]

We've signed Alex Bray, rw, on loan from Rotherham. He's 22 but has surprisingly little first team experience.

6 appearances in his entire career, including loan spells..

 

[JJ1532]

We've signed 22-year-old RB Jaime Sterry on loan from Newcastle. Filled our biggest need, hopefully he can be decent.

Sounds like we might be bringing in 1 more, not sure how or why, we're already at 5 loan signings. So either this is a permenant signing, or we're going to have to drop one of our new signings out of the squad for Saturday, which would be odd.

 

[Kenneth E End]

I saw something yesterday that the value of the Jones transfer was £225,000. I don't know whether that's credible or not?

Luton have rejected a £300,000 offer for young centre half Akin Famewo. Undoubtedly he's got a lot of potential, but in his last game v Chesterfield he was very poor.

Luton have also rejected two approaches for Pelly Ruddock from League One. I do think something has to go in that direction from the midfield.
