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

Tbf Effiong had a 1 in 2 ratio at daggers and has scored goals at Woking and aldershot.

A loan deal in our predicament sounds good tbh.

He has not played at a club like ours before.

Record season tickets
120k for our top striker

In return we get

A loan from Luton who’s never played
A loan from ****ing Braintree

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Sounds totally the opposite of what we want to be honest. We like to press teams

Maybe our style of play is about to evolve.

The signing of Moncur and the departure of two-thirds of our spine would be the time to do it.

 

[danbowen]

Yes I think they are already struggling financially and trying to loan players in rather than sign them, they took one of our young defenders on loan Friday, Frankie Terry a very decent player who may well end up in our 1st team next season. He is the son of Paul Terry, John Terry and Paul Konchesky are his uncle's, if he get's to be as good as John we might make a few bob! They now have 5 ex/current Col U players in their squad, no doubt their management duo also ex Col U will be back for more loans soon.

That last bit sounds a bit like you lads a few seasons ago where you had basically a team of ex Ipswich players

I wonder whether an experienced striker who is a free agent might be interested in a short term deal while our strikers recover and we secure a longer term target. Allows them to keep in shop window. Someone like Connor Wickham?

Very very unlikely. What happens if the player gets injured- he has no secure contract and no-one will sign them whilst injured.

I’m afraid unless it’s a loan (where someone else has given a current contract) it’s a minimum of 1year..

Something will have to give. Worse case loan market and hoping Walker is back and fit in a couple of weeks.

Pepple was never a replacement for Cards - more the 4th striker, so who comes in for Cards is up in the air and will have a significant impact on our season.

This is unfortunately the new reality of where we are. We cannot compete with the likes of FGR’s and Barnet, something I never thought I would say a few years ago.

 

[leeblue]

From three amigos to desperados throwing **** at the wall to see what sticks

If this were true we would have signed any old $#!t and not been short, however the philosophy of getting the right player remains.

 

[Morty01]

Are we saving up for a big money signing in January?

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Are we saving up for a big money signing in January?

No

 

[Blue Yonder]

Tricky one. There maybe better options in January and with Walker close to a return hanging on might not be as grim as it feels right now. If the player is on a two year contract he won’t come here for less on a permanent. Would we want that commitment on a 33 yo with 23 clubs behind him and an on field collapse and later injury last season ? That means a loan and if Braintree are cutting their cloth you’d think they’d want a seasons relief from his wages at least. That would give us 4 strikers until the end of the season which if that’s the quota, the 4 we’d have, Walker aside, doesn’t instantly fill with joy. So maybe you wait until January and round you go.

Has anybody suggested we ask Ebbsfleet for Wes back on a Season long loan?

It is the state of the club after the Rat family has ransacked it for the last fifteeen years plus. It is worth listening to Kev's full post match interview to understand the current state of the Club. It is just as well income is coming in.

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Has anybody suggested we ask Ebbsfleet for Wes back on a Season long loan?

Well he doesn't get much game time there. However, he wouldn't get very much game time with us now.

 

[Rock Lobster]

Has anybody suggested we ask Ebbsfleet for Wes back on a Season long loan?

Could be a dangerous move as they may well ask us to take the rest of their squad as well.

 

[defender05]

With the Flyde game now being rearranged to Tuesday week, we will have six games in three weeks.

We will need someone in, who is match fit, to cover these games as we can't afford to rush the injured players back and risk further damage.

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

Is the Effiong link actually genuine?

No thanks!

 

[Boreham Blue]

@leeblue is the source

 

[Tommy2holes]

So is it genuine. Ie is Lee blue a good source. I know Medway, London Shrimper and Medway are.

Of course and then there is paying £120k and a big wage for a top striker and they are immediately injured. Eggs in one basket always a big risk- regrettably FGR seem currently to have multiple eggs and multiple baskets…
