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

[Spaceman Spiff]

He was never a target of ours.

The guy he’s replacing at Notts was though I think - when the transfer restrictions were lifted earlier in the season?

 

[EnglandShrimper]

@BoyWonder2 Can you confirm anything about Ryan Colclough at all?

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Ryan Colclough did very little in the game at Roots Hall, other than hug the left touchline. To get a start with us, he would have to play very differently. With an upgrade on wing backs an out and out winger wouldn't fit, so not entirely sure I am that excited about him being a possible signing.

Correct.

The lad from Forest would have been playing for us, had the embargo not happened.

Good player, has signed a new full time deal at his Club, one of a number of their players after they announced they would be going full time this summer.

What I would say is please ignore that non league rumour account on Twitter. Every player we have been “linked” with by him, has been mentioned on here previously. He will get some right, which will make him look “reliable” but I bet he doesn’t name a target, who hasn’t cropped up on here/Chris Phillips/someone else, that we actually sign.

Thanks BoyWonder.

Definitely not going on what the non league rumour account has said as it has been mentioned on here before and now SC is following him adds some credibility to it.

Away at Altrincham I thought RC and Mooney tore us a new one and looked very dangerous.

Was very impressed with the pair of them. One down one to go… :)

Collymore has been following him for a while, that’s not a new thing.

 

[EnglandShrimper]

Ahh. Fair enough. I guess we will see what happens with that one then… :)

was just a suggestion

 

[WestyReturns]

He isn’t a right back.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. We are very much interested in Lopata, and are in contact with Sheffield United about him.

I can only see another loan, not a permanent deal, but the Club are trying their hardest. However, if anything happens with Lopata, it’ll be a lot later in the summer. After Sheffield United have come back and assessed their squad and done their business. That will determine where he is in the pecking order, and what their plans are for him.

They may decide to keep him in the squad, they may decide he can go out on loan, but higher up the leagues, or they may let him come back here. He may even become available on a permanent deal, but the ball is firmly in Sheffield United’s court.

Loving the way you've covered every outcome there ;-)

Interesting post from a Scunny fan:

Our CEO did a coffee morning the other week and said that the club were in talks with a player but Southend offered him double what we could offer him. No idea who it is.

It at least shows the club is right now planning to exist next season but it's really not a good sign when Southend, a club a little bit bigger than us can double what we can offer.

Seems a very good sign to me!

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was Mooney?

Gal he signed now, didn’t see that news Pop up

Scunthorpe averaged less fans than Col Ewe last season and less than half of ours. Their budget isn’t going to be great.

Scunthrope will do an York and drop down another division.

 

[EnglandShrimper]

They were very lucky not to be relegated the season we were. Will be an interesting 2022/23 for them.

 

[CaptainSmudger]

The strongest rumours at the moment are for two players playing at National League level last season - Dan Mooney at Altrincham and Cav Miley at Eastleigh.

Got it in one. Well Done Shrimpergary.
Please can you give me next weeks Lottery Numbers

 

[CaptainSmudger]

Problem is, why would any player with good EFL experience join us at the moment unless they are on the downward trend? We don't really want to be signing players on their way down, and we don't have the money to attract anyone with good experience at that level but minus baggage. Ogogo and Coulson both had good EFL experience, and it hasn't worked out. If anything, they've proven that any realistic signings for us with good EFL experience are, at this point in time, just as big a risk as signing players from the level below.

Plus - I trust John Still and the management team.

Well Said ,Bexley Blue
