Transfer News, Gossip & Speculation Transfer Rumours Etc part 2.....2024/25

Did any other clubs take a punt on Dan
Ogunleye (Brentwood)?

Think he didn't want to uproot mid season, not to mention he's on very good money for the level at Brentwood. I don't think the money Halifax would've given him would suffice the re-accommodation & full time commitment.

I was away at the weekend and one of the guys on the stag do is a Brentwood Town fan. He said that in his opinion NL would be a step to far. No coincidence then that neither us or Halifax have offered him a contract

He's been on trial at Halifax, I believe they are nearing decision day on whether to take a punt or not.

If he’s any worse than the players on the pitch v sittingbourne he must be bad

Same players 4th in the form guide perspective.

Same players that are 3 pts outside the play offs and lost only 2/12 league games. Saturday was shocking but i dont remember too many complaining when we beat Daggers and Fylde comfortably 2-0 in the space of 4 days. Still plenty to play for

Junior Morais to Woking.

Another player who tried to step up to EFL did little and then seems to be carrying on downwards back in NL.

Rumours from Halifax, totally unsubstantiated, that they walked away as his agent [Ogunleye's] was asking for wages iro £1,800/week.

You do realise that your post above will become this in about 5 posts time:

93k Pa to turn pro doesn't seem too extreme, it's a short career and he will need to relocate.

That's around 400 a day contractor rate for a short term contract which seems more than reasonable for someone in demand

Hopefully your right but don’t forget they are two very poor sides let’s see how we do playing the top sides there’s nothing I want more than to see our team promoted from this level we need the feel good factor back we had last season but we are so inconsistent this season and have put on some very poor performances I still think we need some more new faces before next season to give promotion a good go

What we need is a fast pacy LWB who can put in a early cross.

I've said for some time that we'd benefit massively just by having a natural left footed player playing at LWB.

Why could that not be Nathan Ralph?

 

[Avl1983]

I’m not convinced he’s good enough going forward personally.

our captain is great but I personally think at LWB there are pacier, more aggressive, youngsters out there better at the role

 

[Roger The Alien]

If you seen the Sittingbourne game and other game where Ralph play as LWB, he is not an attacking winger at all. He is better as LB in a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3

 

[JCB]

You also lose his influence at the back playing him at wingback. Our best defence has Ralph on the left of the three

 

[RHB]

Well, with Jack Bridge still injured, it is likely that Ralph will be doing the biz at LWB on Saturday.

Yep. A wing back min requirements should be pacey, great stamina good dribbler and able to beat a man and put a cross in. Non of which fits into Ralph's strengths. Not his fault, he just simply isn't a wing back. Sittingbourne happily left him free all game and we know the outcome.
