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

[Hadleigh Blue]

Wrong. I've heard from a very reliable source that we're after Gaz Ebo.

He puts himself about and covers most areas.

For McCullum to be coming here, he’d have to take a significant pay cut, at least 60% straight away.

As I did a post about squad size quality vs quantity in a post match thread previously (possibly after our first friend), McCullum would mean we’d be taking quality over quantity, but considering we have Cards, Waldron & Walker already, I’d be shocked.

Tshimanga, if all the figures I’m being told are correct, purely on wages (forgetting about transfer fees, signing on fees, loan fees or whatever) Tshimanga would be the “cheaper” of the two.

The only thing is with Tshimanga we then really don’t have any cover for Cards in terms of aerial threat…so if Cards gets injured….so maybe other than McCallum there is someone else on the whiteboard- that said turning down Tshimanga if it’s realistic wouldn’t be easy either..

Based on pre season so far we definitely need another attacker. Cards if injured would be a big miss.

Were some pens?

No, Eric Sousa was the penalty taker during Tshimanga's loan period, scoring 3 from Jan to April '24.

We're in the mix.

Any word on Noah Chilvers being a target? @Medway Blue @BoyWonder2

 

[BEERMONSTER]

We're in the mix.

I would definitely say we would give him the right kind of service to potentially recapture his previous goal scoring ability. Yes there is recent injury history but still worth pursuing. It might just pay us to make sure that our Medical dept gets the upgrade it needs!

Someone said that Tshimanga has been training with us this week. @in the know @BoyWonder2 ???

 

[They Call It Madness!!!]

He would be a brilliant signing. A predator in the box, would compliment the squad very well.

I find that surprising seeing what Darragh MacAntony was saying about him on his pod. Wanted about £300k for him.

Cant believe you missed the opportunity to use the old cliche 'fox in the box'!

 

[flangejackrabbit]

I think a marquee signing would be anyone with the surname Tent

Possibility of a Marquis signing has gone out the window as he's put pen on paper at Shrewsbury

 

[palexander]

Someone said that Tshimanga has been training with us this week. @in the know @BoyWonder2 ???

Posh fan on Twitter asking where he is as “haven’t seen him at training all week”… so could be some legs in that (and maybe related to Curries “good news at work” from late Friday night)

 

[BoyWonder2]

Makes sense but tbh Tshimanga hasn't been the same player since

Based on what?

I’ll be honest, I’ve seen the odd highlight clip of him at Boreham Wood first time around, and nothing of him afterwards (I missed Boreham Wood at home last season).

How many times did you see him pre and post injury?

His goal return last season was very good, as has already been pointed out and without penalties (because apparently penalties don’t count anymore )

 

[shrimper loz]

I don’t understand why people keep saying “he isn’t the same player after his injury” when they have barely seen him play.

He is a natural goalscorer at this level, who made the leap to league 1 and didn’t make the grade, much like Walker.

Yes he has had a bad injury but I think his spell back at Boringwood last season shows you he hasn’t lost his touch.

 

[nevereatwhitesnow]

Any word on Noah Chilvers being a target? @Medway Blue @BoyWonder2

No chance in a million years. He’s likely leaving Col U but having come through the Academy and has been offered new contract on better terms he will be subject to a fee (or tribunal defined amount). Rumours are he is going to Cambridge

 

[Booma]

He did manage 7 in 16 for BW when on loan at this level last season. Above 1 in 3 for a relegated side.

We create chances and arguable don't finish enough of them.

On that basis I'd be happy if we took a chance on him.

Could we get him on a loan with an option to buy maybe?

 

[Thor1]

He puts himself about and covers most areas.

Not for me, he's just too static. Can't defend for toffee, he's too wooden.

Darren Currie’s good news at work on Friday evening would surely be the long awaited takeover.

 

[Roger The Alien]

If we was to sign Tshimanga say is it more chance of being a loan rather then permanent deal ?

I don’t mind if we can have Tshimanga on loan for 1 season, if that mean he help us get out of NL quickly.

 

[Smiffy]

It was indeed. Nothing more.
