Transfer News, Gossip & Speculation Transfer Rumours Thread 2024/2025.

Transfer news
Does he not seem to be in the Josh Walker mould of player? I’ve not seen him play but I feel Walker fills this role with us.

If we create chances for Walker, he’ll score IMO. Just been unlucky with injuries at start of season.

I think you start Bonne / Kendall and bring on Walker for Kendall when he’s run himself into the ground.

Both Walker and Kendall need someone to play alongside.

I still think Waldron needs a fair crack but don’t think Kev will give him it for whatever reason.
Waldron has been unlucky with injuries and consequently has missed a lot of competitive football. I do think he is behind Walker in the pecking order. Waldron is a definite victim of not having a 'B' Team or equivalent. How can you get players match fit without matches ? I am sure that will eventually be resolved but probably too late for Waldron.
 
You're right Barry. of the two clubs you mention in particular, Oldham realise what this time of season can mean and are very busy, also like our fanbase theirs understand what the Jan window could mean for their hopes this season. As one of their fans says:

"Well you're not wrong, but that's more for summer signings for me, where they can have a preseason etc. I think it's a bit of a Micky Mellon thing as well, I'd like to see more of Uchegbulam, Hammond and Hobson when he's fit where possible, but MM definitely likes his experience.

But as well, mid season is all about getting what you need in that moment in time, players that can come in and do a job straight away.

And that's all exacerbated when you're hopefully gonna be in a closely fought promotion tussle, and there's only one auto promotion place. You've got to be a bit ruthless and singularly focused in the National League, you'd like to think we'd broaden and stabilise our recruitment if we managed to go up though."

Gateshead, as I highlighted earlier in the month, have lost the spine of their team and are acting straight away to replace, unencumbered by off the field finances to the extent we are, maybe gives them the ability to act quicker? It will be interesting to see how their promotion push manifests from now until May, knowing they won't have the ground lease issue if they went up.

Even Ebbsfleet have been active, apart from Moncur, another player who has been on loan with us in the past, Aaron Cosgrove signed from Halifax and has hit 3 in 8 so far for them. another local lad, he hails from Shenfield, so it might be worth the scouts keeping an eye on him and how he performs in the back half of the season there, if as is likely they go back down to NLS.
Cosgrave ? I’m sorry, Bonne looks like Harry Kane compared to him
