Transfer News, Gossip & Speculation Summer/Autumn Transfer Targets/Rumours Thread 2022

Really hope we are looking at Colclough, thought he was excellent at Altrincham this season and only 27. Stan following etc...

Agreed, would be an excellent addition. 2-for-1 deal with Altrincham?

Perhaps unrealistic though. Imagine he has suitors with bigger pockets than ours. Sure I saw a rumour there are some northern League 2 sides sniffing around.

Only ended up at this level because he got into trouble with the law, not sure if that's behind him now. If it is, would be an excellent signing.

Louis Lomas. Maybe more hope on my part - I've heard whispers that we're interested but nothing as concrete as the other names. Who knows whether we'd be able to poach him AND Murombedzi from Brackley?

Any insight @londonshrimper. ?

Updated list with SZ rumour scale:

? - Very likely/Very strong rumours/Completed

? - Possible/Reasonable rumours

? - Very unlikely/Not happening


To save everyone scrolling through loads of pages. Again this is based on whats being said on here and across the socials. We wont include every single name that's been mentioned. Just ones with multiple mentions and at least a crumb of realism. Names and the scale will be updated as and when required.


? Mooney - Altrincham
? Miley - Eastleigh/Unattached
? Murombedzi - Brackley
? Lomas - Brackley
? Rutherford - Dorking
? Lopata ? - Sheff U

And baaaaaaaack on topic please....

Anyone got any further names to throw into the hat?

Preferably without associated puns.

? Mooney
? Miley
? Murombedzi

Would it worth putting Alfie Rutherford on that list? It's certainly not impossible and could be a surprise..

Wasn’t he rumoured or close to signing for us a couple of seasons ago?

I’d take that as the reds are not happening but the amber are getting ready ?

I’m basing the scale on what members are saying. Those in amber have had numerous nods on here and Twitter etc. Doesn’t mean they are happening of course. Only those in green can be considered likely to happen. Those in red are unlikely/not happening again based on our excellent member base digging the dirt.

Purely on the basis that Dorking were promoted, or any other reason?

Insurance issues I believe.

A real, real shame. I feel like that was our best chance to bag a prolific goalscorer.

It appears we are interested, albeit early days. There was an earlier post on here stating we are in advanced discussions with Lomas - but would not say it is at that particular stage. Plenty of other clubs interested, including teams in the Football League.

Be a good signing if we manage to get him.

I heard at the weekend that were after 2 or 3 from Dorking, but would be surprised now that they have got promoted. But the lure of a bigger club, fan base, more chance of pushing top end might still persuade them to come. Rutherford in particular was defo one mentioned

 

[MisterStubbs]

Kacper Lopata… just for dreams sake.

We got bigger resource than Dorking & an opportunity to play full time football as every players will tell you that.

It’s can happen as he at an age that he must play every games.

If not, it would be business as usual.

Based on what? I've heard a few whispers saying otherwise so what's ruling it out for you?

I'm hearing very conflicting things. Some saying it's dead in the water. Some saying were still exploring insurance options. Others saying it's a done deal and he's signing. Not sure what to believe!

Out of interest, how can a transfer be stopped because of insurance?
