Transfer News and Gossip Transfer Rumours Thread 2023-24

Cheers BW, appreciate the insights as ever!

From the sounds of it we probably shouldn't expect a large influx of quality signings, just enough to get us through this year before aiming to build a team that can challenge at the top end this summer.

Not many.

Most moved to other Clubs, or signed new deals at their existing Clubs. Even players that weren’t the number 1 in their position have moved on too.

One name, in midfield, is still at his current Club, and is still on the whiteboard.

Is his name Omar?

I think his name might be Shiloh

I think his name might be Shiloh

Are you referring to the young midfielder at Eastbourne Borough?

 

[sufcnum1]

Do we know what needs to be done to lift the embargo or is it just a matter of time?

Better keep this thread on ice for another month

Might as well call it Winter Transfer Rumours by the time the embargo is gone

This has annoyed me more than it should. **** the National League.

Agree with the sentiment but let's not forget
1. who got us here in the first place
2. that they believe the embargo had no impact on performance

 

[Beefy]

He's gone. The players are the ones being punished here. Its a disgraceful lack of concern for player welfare from a league who couldn't care less.

Absolutely correct. There is no reason why a transfer embargo can't be implemented in a way that considers player welfare. The EFL manage it. Remember this is a league that wanted to introduce a new standard contract that reduced what players are paid if injured.
Their performance was overlooked purely because anyone hurting Ron was given a free ride. Well now Ron is on his way out we need to reset on that.

This is irrelevant IMO. The superb job Kev, Daz, Benno and the team have done isn’t a justification for retaining the embargo - not in a million years.

If this is truly a part of their thinking, then I think SUFC could argue the NL board (made up of some NL chairmen) are distorting their own competition to unfairly advantage their own teams. Precisely what the embargo is supposedly in place to prevent.

Danny Rowe has left Chesterfield. I wonder with Powell out for the season if he’s coming in for the rest of the season…

Suspect his age would discount that.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Marcus Dackers would be awesome

 

[Tampa Blue]

with Powell out for the season

I missed that news. Where was that reported please?

 

[Tommy2holes]

Marcus Dackers would be awesome

I think when the embargo goes he will be one we look at. Him and Cardwell up top would be a proper handful.

Doesn’t specifically say out for the rest of the season, but with the nature of the injury he’ll certainly be out for most of the season:

Blues striker Powell set for long injury lay-off

SOUTHEND United striker Callum Powell is set for a long injury lay-off after scans on his knee revealed damage to his cruciate ligament.

Marcus Dackers would be awesome

I've got a feeling he'll be one of the 1st through the door, as we desperately need back-up for Cards
