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

NL clubs wont be willing to sell this time of year, everyone has (sort of) made their squad up.

If we attempted any signings, the tax that clubs would add because of our situation would be huge

I get that it’s just very frustrating coz the position we are in we need people ready to go

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

Can’t keep signings players that aren’t up to speed

Desperation that couldnt be more Phil brown if it tried

I agree, this squad simply isnt good enough. If i spoke my mind on a lot of the players id get a fair amount of hate, but we need 6/7 different players to compete.

 

[leeblue]

ASAP please signings

Su

Just had it confirmed the Callum Butcher deal is done and he will be announced soon, don’t expect him to be match ready though just yet

None of our signings are match ready
Strict club policy now.

This is a poor signing if true.. wrong age profile, has struggled with injuries last 18 months . One paced.. another midfielder like we already have .. The club must really be regretting not offering Wes a longer deal now..

 

[Paddypel]

Callum butcher… the same Callum Butcher who’s 33, played an average of 20 games a season over the past 5 years and played as a midfielder for 90% of that time… I actually despair. First time I’ve began to question the 3 amigos, but this is poor business in my eyes.

Just shows what we are able to bring in at the moment

 

[Shrimper95]

We must be on to our 9th, 10th choice by now!

Think I’d rather look at the loan market or one year contracts and patiently wait until next summer when we can get our first and second choices in.

 

[hlane17]

Much of our business this summer smacks of desperation

 

[Rooster79]

Tough loss and the reports (on here) of an underwhelming signing. Not sure who I expected to come in as part of the 2/3 claimed to be close but a 33 year old journeymen wasn’t top of the wishlist

 

[Paddypel]

So much talk of getting players once the EFL window closes. What’s happened ? It’s been closed over 2 weeks and nothing doing. Thought we would be Picking up loans from the local league 1/2 clubs with players who are out of matchday squads.

Or what they're willing to spend

This is it.
Sustainability.

 

[Jack_23]

I said it in another thread and il say it again. The signings we have made may turn out well in their own right . But our best attribute for the last 2 years has been how good our press is yet the signings we have made are moving us further and further away from that and I think that’s where our issue lies

 

[Lincoln Shrimp]

I'm hoping this Calum Butcher rumour doesn't have any legs. Horribly underwhelming if true.

 

[WillMay333]

I will say it again, can we fill a £2m funding gap in National League? I really dont think we can.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Do we ever sign fit players anymore?

 

[leeblue]

No we can't.
But we won't get out of this league without paying a really good striker loads of money. Fylde, eastleigh etc pay a top guy top money just to stay in the league let alone get promotion.
I get the financial responsibility, we've survived the opposite (barely)
However its probably not the formula that will get us up.

If the rumour has legs, the player certainly won't by the looks of it. 40 games in 2 years

Youre right, but i agree with Justin that you shouldnt gamble this season on the next, but the idea of making the club self sustainable, is never going to happen. Minimise losses and then have a go
