Summer 2023 Transfer Rumours

In theory yes, if all the ‘southern’ teams had been promoted!

 

No wonder they binned it off. Doesn't seem to be a well thought out plan in all honesty!

 

Wakefield too. The fact they dont fill their ground of 38,000 is poor.

I doubt we're one of the ones interested, but I would have thought he would have been good cover and even a good replacement for Oliver. Done very well at this level for a while, Middlesbrough links and didn't realise that his dad played for us.

 

Been to Bootham Cres loads of times in the distant past and their ranks were always swelled by Leeds fans , always!

 

It wasn’t like that in the 70’s!

 

Yes and he could car share with Gilly Cook and Smallwood .

 

I was hoping we might be in for him last summer.

Now that Oliver is ruled out again for a long spell, I would hope and expect that we are one of the interested clubs now

 

Cover? He should be starting with Cook. Armstrong is class at this level and I said before we should sign him

 

If he's mates with Pattinson maybe he could be persuaded.

 

I think his situation at Harrogate is similar to us with Lewis the value to Harrogate is worth a lot more than his market value. Don’t think he will be gracing VP

Armstrong certainly ticks alot of boxes. Apart from the out of contract one.

 

Wrexham?

 

Good shout. They must surely be in for a striker after the Mullin injury.

surprised they haven’t been more active this summer. Only seen Boyle arrive? But maybe they only need to be bringing in players to start and improve what they have, rather than firing the scattergun and signing squad filler?

 

Midlands based teams tended to move between the north and south divisions depending on who came down. So the likes of port vale and Shrewsbury could be in north one season and then the south the next

 

Two up from each league, which is why four come down

 

Not necessarily. You could have five leagues of 20, take in 8 teams from the National League and bang the back door shut.

 

What they have up front is a striker than won’t play for 4 months? That why I suggested them

 

Haha, I know that!

It was more the point - 24 southern teams in the southern one, and 24 northern in the northern one.
Two up from each, then four come down from the championship.
Do you just take the two most southern of those four into the southern league? What if they’re Huddersfield, Sunderland, Sheff Weds and Blackburn for example?
Or did they put the 48 in a pot again and split them into the 24 most southern and northern again?
E.g. were the southern and northern divisions pretty flexible rather than limited to changing as per relegated and promoted teams?

 

The revolving doors at Crawley and Gillingham continue.

Another strange exit from Crawley and Gillingham boosting their forward line which was said to be on the weaker side by some
