Transfer News and Gossip Transfer Rumours Thread 2024/25 - Time to Cook 👨‍🍳

[Smiffy]

The Mussa deal fell through due to a certain ******** demanding a silly sell on clause at the 11th hour. That’s it.

Anyway, as reported he’s gone to Torquay.

The end.

The reason why agents look to get meaningful fees from clubs is that players (particularly in the lower leagues) can afford a fraction of what a club can afford- especially if there is competition between clubs for their signature.

Maybe but it doesn't change the fact that when an agent is acting on behalf of a player, the player should pay him.

 

[londonblue]

Think it was over either the sell-on fee or a release clause.

In which case you can completely ignore my post.

No thanks, 2 years to prove himself and has done next to nothing.

I agree, throws up a red flag for me but the scouting team must have seen something (if rumours are true). Maybe he was poorly managed?

 

[Kwright1988]

No, the deal was nothing to do with Wes tracking or not tracking back.

Kev wanted Wes in the squad, but on a different deal. He wants a creative midfielder, with a higher G/A output than Wes. Not sure what type of midfielder Mussa is however.

Wes was the type of player that needed “coaching” from the sidelines, whereas others don’t. Don’t think Kev shouting at someone means he dislikes him or doesn’t rate him.

Different opinions your not telling me I’m not telling you it’s my opinion.. Wes unfortunately didn’t cut it for me

Musah gone Torquay so the debate can finish now

A bit of dialogue taken from a Rider Haggard novel?

So Tshimanga played in a Peterborough u18/u21 side against St Ives of Southern League Premier Division Central. St. Ives won 1-0..

A proper u21 (minus the children) play Norwich u21 tomorrow- be interesting if he gets picked for the big game…hope he can contain his excitement

They do but often there is no transfer fee, no signing on fee, and in the lower leagues not a lot in the way of wages. So fees from clubs are important.

If that's the case maybe the players shouldn't have agents they can't afford to pay

Some don’t- Coxy didn’t have an agent. Negotiated his own deals.

Reality is agents will make money both ends if they can unless someone decides that’s verboten- and that isn’t happening any time soon.

Here we go (finally)

This list as always is based on rumours circulating on here and the socials. Updated at regular intervals.



Joe Gubbins: CB: Free Agent. 2 year contract. Free transfer.

Josh Walker: ST: Burton. 2 year contract. Undisclosed fee.






Kabongo Tshimanga: ST: Peterborough.





Finley Barbrook: CM: Ipswich.





Josh Anifowose: CM: Free Agent.





Feel free to PM me with any rumoured targets that can be included on the list.



Key:

- Likely target

- Possible target

- Unlikely target

- Gaining momentum

- In talks

- Done deal

I’m not even sure I’d have Josh Anifowose on here anymore unfortunately.

However, there is a name of a lad who had an excellent season last season, and is tearing up his teams pre-season this time around. Has scored 7 goals, and isn’t a striker. A name that excites us, but things aren’t far advanced with him.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Say that again?

Sorry Oz, edited. ;)

 

[BoyWonder2]

That’s fair enough.

But to say that Kev didn’t want him is completely wrong, and that’s what I was pointing out.

Ooh.. you see this is the sort of snippet that keeps us going….

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

I’ve heard Kev at away games on his back for 90 minutes on more than 1 occasion my opinion would differ to yours but hey it’s all about opinions yes?

@Kwright1988 But that is what some players need and react to - a continuous kick up the back side. You obviously never witnessed the Barry Fry School of Motivational Speaking. He regularly and continually verbally abused players during training sessions at Boots & Laces. A very young Simon Royce was told how 'good' he was in no uncertain terms on more than one occasion when I was there!

 

[Andy_S]

Tshimanga once again plays for the Peterborough U21 side this morning.

 

[SUFCGoals]

Tshimanga once again plays for the Peterborough U21 side this morning.

I appreciate them getting him fit for us.

 

[annie1954]

I appreciate them getting him fit for us.

Do you think he will be heading for Roots Hall very soon ? or is signing him just wishful thinking by many supporters

 

[Roger The Alien]

Ask @London Shrimper

 

[Jai]

It is a complete guess but given we will likely be parting with hefty wages for Tshimanga, I wonder if they're leaving it as late as possible to do the deal to save money. We may have reached an agreement with Posh that he signs in August.
