Transfer News and Gossip Transfer Rumours Thread 2023-24 (Part 2 - Back in Business. Oh no we’re not)

[Shrimp and two veg]

That's two seasons when we had a chance of getting out of non league wrecked by failing to sign players to see us to the line come May. Both times the three amigos did an unbelievable job to get us in sight of the playoffs at Christmas.
Third time lucky ?

I think this is poor from the club even a loan striker would do for now. They have had a week now if nothing by tomorrow. New dawn failing before it’s even started

You're a wind up merchant aren't you!

Yes what a load of tripe the consortium is doing a good job already The bills are being paid as is the staff And until the takeover is fully settled They can't force players though the door After years of distrust it's going to take time to get the trust back

Billy Best was the same - first knowledge of his signing was when the stadium announcer read out the teams! There was another at the same time as King Billy, but can’t remember.

Gary Moore from Grimsby if memory serves, but happy to be corrected. We signed and Best and Moore on about the same day. 164 appearances and 46 goals for SUFC.

Gary Moore signed about 9 months after Billy Best.

I think it was Dave Chambers or David Martin-Chambers to give him his full name who signed at the same time as Gary.

Really? Pessimism kicks in quickly in Hadleigh.

To be fair we were told a few weeks back as soon as the embargo was lifted we had 3 players lined up to come in so you can understand some fans frustration that it has not happened yet for whatever reason. I am sure the management team are as frustrated but it does work both ways.

And one of those players signed for Daggers.

 

[They Call It Madness!!!]

The days without the internet…

I remember seeing Paul Byrne and Paul Williams in the team for the first time for us and getting them wrong, not an easy mistake if you knew what they looked like!

the joy at seeing a new face warming up and not knowing who they were!

 

[Linda Loan Shark]

Twice that has happened in the last 18 months plus we didnt get Justham over the line either

 

[meerkat54]

What will we do when we can no longer blame him for everything…

Be nice for everything to be hunky dory. I’m sure things will get better. But we shouldn’t get complacent with the still lurking around.

Must be Remy from Eastbourne?

CAN EVERYONE READ THIS PLEASE.

Yes I get it's not football manager and yes people have part time jobs. It's why you try and sign local talent so they don't have to uproot.

Or get a loanee in that actually has experience of playing recent league football while you gets the ducks in order.

Tomorrow we are playing a team with the best defence and will start with an 18 year old with one league goal to his name who isn't ready for this level of football yet and a winger who's at the end of his career.

Sandat is ready for this level, just not on his own up top. There’s a difference.

But even signing local talent, and bringing in a loanee isn’t straight forward. Even signing a free agent isn’t straight forward, there is so much work that goes into a transfer.

I get that we need strikers, and we needed them yesterday, but it seems most have wrote off the play-offs, so does it matter too much in the grand scheme of things if we don’t have a shiny new striker tomorrow?

Just not this season right ?

Not sure the squad feel that the season is a write off just yet. I'm sure the management feel the same.

Even JS stated to fans that there were several signings ready for when the embargo dropped.

Other clubs have been making signings.

Just feels like something is off. Maybe it's the spectre of Ron is still having an effect.

Then why is that other clubs at this level seem to sign a plethora of players seemingly at ease?

 

[Holy Joe]

Has anyone checked the NL embargo page?
