Summer 2023 Transfer Rumours

He was all set to sign for Sutton. Had his medical arranged and then Gillingham came in after their move for Tyreece Simpson failed.

 

Starting to look like Gillingham will be very hard to beat for first place

 

It didn’t work that’s why they sacked it in the end!

 

Believe it or not Gillingham is only mid table when it comes to bad towns in Kent. Awful places, made worse by the people. Chavs on steroids who think they are special.

 

Noticed in his match report last night Parker signaled out ishiah Smith for Middlesbrough for praise might have been a bit of a hint. Winger/wing back with pace

 

Bring back Burrell

 

Why, is that a good signing? I don't know much about the lad, but the stats aren't looking promising.

Poor scoring record, but Player of the Season in a dreadful Crawley team?

Maybe he's got other qualities?

I can imagine if we wasted money on a signing like that, we'd have plenty of moans and groans on here.

 

He's a decent league two signing I'd say. Good pace and can play centrally or as a wide forward. I think I read he had 15 goals and assists last season. Alongside Cook, we need 2 or 3 players to do that this season and had none last season so, yes, I'd say he is a decent signing.

 

No chance, appeared 35 times in the Championship last season.

I know we got Smallwood after being a regular in the Championship, but given his age, I would imagine Jones is still very much wanted at Boro

 

Last summer they turned down a £7M offer from Crystal Palace for him, then went on to still be a regular in the side until he asked to be taken out. Chances of him leaving on loan to tier 4 is as close to zero as humanly possible.

Rumoured that West Ham, Palace and Wolves are still interested in Jones but probably not this summer. Jones asked to be taken out of the side last season as he was struggling with mental health issues. Seems like he wants to stay but prem teams will track his return to the team for Jan likely.

 

I seem to recall we were briefly linked with Nadesan last year?

 

Yeah we were for a while, I saw comments from a few Crawley fans, apparently he's good on his day, but has only had one good session for them. If things go wrong his head goes down quick. So when we talk about characters playing for a club of our size, handling the crowd etc would he be able to do that with this supposed attitude thing? We had enough of those players when we got relegated from league one. Added to that he's a southern lad from the Crawley area, so a move to Gills probably made sense.

 

Few L2 bits a week out from kick off....

Walsall are close to adding another. They are also close to announcing the loan signing of defender David Okagbue from Stoke. They also brought in former City striker Aramide Oteh earlier in the week.

Defender Ryan Edwards who has recently left Dundee after spells in L1 with Blackpool and Plymouth looks to be frustrating Swindon. He had trained with the club earlier in the window and they had made an offer to the big centre back, but now Owen Coyles side Chennaiyin of the Indian Super League have thought to have offered more money to Edwards, leaving Swindon scrambling for another centre back a week before the start of the season. Striker Curtis Main was set to sign for Wrexham after having a medical until a more lucrative offer from Indian came his way earlier in the month.

A quirk in a deal that was already talked about on here, but Omari Patricks deal with Sutton has been agreed on the former City player only featuring as a winger. He turned down a contract extension at Carlisle after the manager would not appease his demand to only feature on the wing, rather than as a striker. Patrick had the best scoring form of his career at when he joined Carlisle in January 2022, scoring 9 goals in 24 appearances until the end of that season, featuring on the left of a 4231. Last seasons Carlisle switch to a 352/532 wing back tactic meant that his starts were limited to 18 from 32 matchday squads.

Finally, James Norwood has expressed interest in a move to Wrexham, however it appears his valuation has not yet been met by the Welsh club. Barnsley did trigger an extension in Norwoods contract earlier in the window but also signed Max Watter and Andy Dallas to add to their striking options.

 

Place I haven’t graced, always sounded rather posh to me, then I experienced Seven Sisters and Seven Kings . On that basis …..

 

And Dack has joined Sunderland

 

They belong……..Let’s see how many appearances he makes Colin?
