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

[Crowstone Crevette]

Yes i believe was those 2 players ..i do think york and gateshead have a good chance this year

@Sussexshrimper Do they? Have Gateshead's circumstances changed regarding their ground etc?

 

[gatecrasher]

We can look at other teams and budgets, but look at some of the teams who have gone up in the recent past Harrogate, Bromley, Sutton Barrow- all had bigger clubs like Chesterfield, Wrexham, Notts County in their leagues, so it is possible to go up

 

[Wingnut]

Hearing Maher say regarding transfers still looking a few so hopefully a few more coming in this week

 

[Ian Benjamin]

It is clear what we need. Kev and Co know it - let's trust the process. They haven't got much wrong in the recruitment process over past couple of years. Yes, it would be nice if all players had a full preseason with us but we are much better off than previous years.

I saw in response to CP’s ask on Twitter for sensible transfer targets someone suggested Stephen Humphrys. I suspect that the Blackburn interest might stop this being sensible!

 

[shrimperjon]

liked what ollie K said yesterday. Something along the lines of many teams have been signing players but they havnt been through what we have the past few years and dont have the team spirit and togetherness we do. Of course football is more than just that but it goes a long way. We do have a very special group of players. Yes we need a few more but they must be the right ones and if we have to wait a bit longer then so beit

Yes, was one of the first things they sorted in the close season.

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

Keep it on topic please - this is the thread for transfer rumours, not a general National League discussion. Thanks a lot

I presume our new GK Coach will fill that role

Pretty sure he won’t. Stopped playing a year or two ago, plus he was there on Saturday whilst Hillson the trialist was on the bench.

surprised that Hilson never got on actually

 

[WestyReturns]

My God!!!

Is Maher getting his managerial 'tips' from SZ?

...or do people think he may have already actually been aware of where we needed to recruit?

Haha definitely down to Shrimperzone. It's known in world football as the oracle of football knowledge.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Injury prone because he’s had one injury

I presume he’s injury prone as he’s 22 and he appears to have played 5 games of men’s football (one of which was an 89th minute sub appearance).

Sometimes young players need time to build up strength so I’m not saying don’t sign him but I am saying don’t sign him and ink him in as the starter for the season. We’ll likely need to manage his workload and its highly probable that he’ll fade down the stretch.

What about Rob harker free agent now but was at halifax last season scored 9 goals but still only 24

Yeah, Smiffy was extolling his virtues previously. Sounds an interesting player.

 

[Barry.C]

The good news is with the signing of Wind we are no longer the smallest squad in the league as we now tie with Maidenhead for that honour, but King Kev is still aftet two or 3 more. Loanees could add value?

The other good news is all those clubs with 25 to 30 in the squad like York and Barnet will fail miserably along with the other 5 clubs with large numbers as it apparently never works. .Certainly Dagenham are fuked bringing in eleven so far and lets face it, we hope they are

 

[Paddypel]

I think we need to either commit or quit with Tshimanga this week. 2 more in before the week is through and i'd go into the season happy and confident.

 

[bluethroughandthrough]

Looking forward this week to to lots of gossip, news and updates on this thread.. eg saw this person at roots hall / training ground, in the knows sharing positive noise, mate of a mate of mate said.. etc. big week before York kick off to get the fans even more excited and to let sales to soar. Optimistic Monday morning thoughts. !

EFL window closes on 30th August if he hasn't moved to an EFL club by then surely that puts us in a stronger position to negotiate the deal

I do like an on the day signing and no one knows what's going on. Can't really happen now with social media.

Never forgot arriving late in the north bank for the opening game and dad and I turned to eachother and said, "Who's that up top? Must be from the youth team." It was Assombalonga. Another signing like that would be most welcome!

Felt the same with Eastwood when he arrived, after 7 seconds and just sitting down we were up again cheering his first goal.
