Transfer News and Gossip Transfer Rumours Thread 2024/25 - Time to Cook 👨‍🍳

[NZamba Legend]

Very odd for an official Twitter account to be so disturbed by an internet rumour that someone is interested in one of their players that they respond with a bit of a **** take. I actually don't mind it, but it's not very professional. Do they do this every time there's a similar rumour about one of their players? No, they don't, so why get their panties in a bunch about this one?

If anything, it suggests that there has been some interest, but that Wealdstone are probably holding out for some extra dosh. After all, Adarkwa signed a new deal in February as we know, so they probably feel able to hold out as long as it takes to squeeze out some extra cash. I guess we'll see in due course.

Two bob ****s

That’s why I’m unsure if it’s becoming a hindrance. I don’t see why it would, but I know Kev has been annoyed previously about stuff getting leaked and said it’s unhelpful.

If they want targets that they are interested in kept under wraps, they need to limit who they are giving information to? Don`t get annoyed if every man and his dog knows due to loose lips?

 

[NZamba Legend]

Well that's embarrassing

For Wealdstone

I think it’s a good bit of banter to be fair.

We did a load of social media posts of us training on the pitch when Altrincham cried to get our game off, which worked. So we took aim at them with our social media stuff.

Wealdstone doing the same and fair play to them.

Slightly odd that it’s just because of a poster on X, albeit a very well informed one.

For Wealdstone

No for us. What they did is absolutely hilarious and prove maybe some people are not as itk as they think

Which, in addition to 'why this rumour and not all the others' was my point too

remember when our official page quoted tc9 when husin signed a new deal

Love a conspiracy theory…..

Perhaps a trap was set to find the mole in the camp….

Perhaps Wealdstone don’t have too many rumours to get upset about.

Potentially, it’s a dig about the claim of him missing Saturdays game with an “injury” suggesting that perhaps that’s not the case.

Be interesting to see if he lines up for Wealdstone on Saturday, or the bench. That will give us all an indication of the state of play.

When Ardakwa

That’s Kendall he is talking about.

I did just ask him if he thinks the deal will be done by Saturday for the Wealdstone lad and he isn’t sure. It sure why it takes so long to get these deals over the line. Medway Blues said it nearly happened Friday so why now 5 days later still not signed. Guess these things can take time but we seem to be masters at it. Anyway if he is a target and we get him then waiting a bit longer won’t hurt

Are we masters at it? Let's face it, we don't know how long other clubs take to sign some players. Sometimes we do hear a rumour of clubs showing an interest in players, but a lot of the time, we only hear about a signing being confirmed/announced.

If we weren't Southend fans, focused so intensely on potential signings, today's rumours might have been the earliest we heard about it with no knowledge of last Friday.

So if true and we are after him it won’t be this side of the weekend then

There is no way we are. Wealdstone wouldn't tweet that if there was a chance he could go

 

[Jim Levenstein]

It’s not true

 

[Flinty]

Perhaps the player wants to come but the club don’t want to sell ?

 

[BoyWonder2]

I genuinely don’t know.

I don’t know if he was the striker we were close to signing, I don’t know if we’ve had a bid accepted.

I know he is of interest to us. I know we had a bid rejected for another National League striker, who has been named on here, and we’ve moved onto another one.

I’ve been given a few names the last few days, but haven’t been told who is close, who (if any) has had a bid accepted for or whatever.

 

[Booma]

Also if Adarkwa is actually injured do we want to sign him?

I guess it depends on the injury?

 

[RHB]

Yeah, you're probably right to be fair! That dribble though…

Yep, up there with Ferguson's thunderbolt shot and his long throw.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Transfer news used to be leaked all the time, it's not a new thing in football. The only difference now is it happens quicker thanks to the net and it can be fans, it's not now a domain just filled with journalists.

If a club wants something kept quiet, then the best way is once negotiations are opened then close them swiftly and try to be decisive in them. Not always possible, but leaks are the way society rolls now, with the strength of the Web as a whole.

 

[JCB]

Hope the Wealdstone admin is ready to get a snarky dm from londonshrimper if it does go through

 

[Gt Yarmouth Shrimper]

But, but, but all of those accounts on here yesterday said that we have no money available????

We have no money available to spunk on a over the hill has -been or up and coming youngsters who are injury prone. I'm sure 'the gang of ten' can find enough cash down the back of the sofa for the correct prospect.
