Summer 2025 transfer rumours

Grimsby have just signed Reece Staunton. Made up for the lad, working his way back up the ladder.

He was the Bobby of 5 years ago but he just never progressed.

 

I thought he’d given up. Good luck to him.

 

May I add Crawley Town to that list.

 

On the Barrow releases, Kian Spence is from Harrogate, ex Halifax and ex Middlesbrough youth. I don't know much about him but 14 goals in 77 games isn't bad going for a CM.

Do we think he is Fleetwood bound?

 

You'd expect so having being with Wild at both Halifax & Barrow.

 

I hope we bring in Dilan Markenday diminutive but a flair player with an eye for a goal from midfield. And good set piece taker apparently 9 goals and 4 assists between Orient and Chesterfield. A bit of flair and only 23 with 20 odd games in the championship

 

Paudie O'Connor has signed for Reading signing a 4 year contract.

A slightly strange move if he did have Championship interest but suspect the 4 year deal played a big part in the decision.

 

Why on earth haven’t we activated Richards’s option?

 

Just confirmed that he's signed for Rotherham on a 2 year deal.

 

Was there an option?

 

I wonder if Richards and Kelly have been given a deadline to sign up or move on

 

Lost £32m in last two seasons …….Another purchased by a Glazer type speculator/ consortium yet handing out 4 season contracts …..POC never enthused me tbh . Strange isn’t it?

 

I think they have , unless I’m dreaming what GA said.

 

Looks like Richards could be set to extend:

 

In Twitterland!

 

They got a new owner in May who used to own Wycombe and did well with them so I think Reading will start going in the right direction and be more sustainable.

 

More like Reasonably-reputable-source-land

These were the same to report he had other clubs in for him: those claims were also in Twitterland so with this logic never any doubt in him staying, right?

in fairness could all be agent talk, either to get us to give him a better contract or to force the hand of those in for him. We will see.

 

EFL rules are that players have 30 days to respond to a contract offer so unless we decide to give them longer that should be up any day soon if not already
