Transfer News, Gossip & Speculation Transfer Thread - Summer 2025 Edition.

I really hope that we are going all out to try and secure the services of Ludwig Francillette. I know from some Eastleigh FC sources that he has been offered a new contract, and negotiations are ongoing. His current 2 year deal is up today. He is an absolute power house at the back, with his height and pace, not frightened to get forward as well. 8 goals and 2 assists last season in a fairly mediocre Eastleigh side. If we are serious about getting him, I hope that he sees the potential and the ambition from him to hopefully get promoted with us. He would be a great signing if we can pull it off.

That would be some addition along with Sam Austin

Exactly the kind of signings that get you promoted

 

[Gremlin]

We haven't had nearly enough players called Ludwig.

All depends if he wants to play in front of 6k fans at home as well as funds of course .. let’s hope we do all we can to get him in .

I await the announcement he's signed for York then.

For me, we need X 2 CB's if Goodlife doesn't sign.

Fingers crossed goodlife doesn't sign. No where near good enough. Found out defensively far too many times

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

I said a while back I think the overall priority is a centre centre back. and i think that decision is massive. whoever plays middle centre back is so important to how we play with and without the ball. we need to go all out. I'd Gubbins to get a go there because it's such a vital position for us

 

[JB Shrimper]

I would like a gritty defensive mid who can protect any CBs we bring in.

I'm hearing positive noises in one of those areas.

 

[James peeee]

Are we thinking maybe a signing out the blue like the Austin one in the next day or two?

 

[Westcliff Shrimper]

I still think he’d be good in the middle of the back 3. I guess we might see that in preseason.

Didn't he play in the middle of the back three (Gubbins I mean) in one of the FA Trophy games? I think it was the one KAF scored in.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

A fowl, surely!

Chicken feed, surely?

Yes. Also played a game there pre-season.

 

[stewart]

all these Kelman threads should be in past players not in the transfer rumour thread

My thoughts exactly, couldn't care less about him

 

[Cricko]

Back on topic please.

 

[Liam AAS]

Back on topic please.

Chicken

 

[James peeee]

Kev and currie at roots hall today is that normal before the players are back or could it have been a player turning up to thrash a deal out?
