Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2023/24

[SF_]

Actually willing to spend some cash during this window it seems.

Met the £750k asking price for Stockley, Seven figures rejected for Barnsley's Brad Potts and £750k rejected for Mansfield's CJ Hamilton.

Nice to be able to turn down derisory offers from clubs higher up the pyramid for a change. Potts has been great this season but he's very much replaceable so if the right amount comes in I'd let him go.

Mason Holgate has joined West Brom on loan. Looked to be making strides with the Everton team over last couple of seasons so will be keeping an eye on how he gets on.

Aye, I don't want us spending big on Potts tbh.

Stockley Confirmed.

Preston North End have completed their second permanent signing of the transfer window with the transfer of striker Jayden Stockley.

The Lilywhites have paid an undisclosed fee to the Grecians for their top scorer, who has agreed a three-and-a-half-year deal at Deepdale.

In 98 appearances for the St James Park club, 25-year-old Jayden scored 51 goals and was the top scorer in all four English leagues in 2018.

I spoke to John Terry last night, and he assured me that he’s spoken to Chelsea, and the agreement is he stays with us until end of season.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Glad to see Stockley working his way up the pyramid, local lad.

 

[LeylandWhite]

Happy with Stockley signing.

Pisses me off how reactive we are when it comes to the transfer market though. Alex Neil deserved backing in the summer after last season, instead we wait until January when we're in the shit and now we're being linked with every man and his dog.

 

[SF_]

Looks like we're closing in on Potts, will trust Neil on this one.

Could be close to our record signing.

I’ve always wanted Potts since his Carlisle days, class player.

Is he? Thought he looked a bit of a passenger when we played Barnsley last season.

Understand he's been playing wide right for them this season though. Good goal record.

Can’t really remember the game tbh, didn’t he score at Deepdale? Really scrappy goal iirc

He’s always seemed a really good box to box midfielder when I’ve seen him. Remember a game at Carlisle where he was best player on the pitch.

If we sign him I hope Owen Oyston has a nice sell on.

 

[Luke_1884]

Looks like George Thorne is off to Luton on loan for the rest of the season. Exactly what he needs, to go and prove he can still compete. Good deal all round hopefully, coup for Luton if they can get him match fit/sharp.

 

[SMH]

Only decent player we’ve been linked with so far is Ollie Burke. Rest have been random lower league players with some connection to Cook. Oh, and Tyler Blackett.

Tyler Blackett is genuinely one of the worst players I've ever seen pull on the Reading shirt. That's definitely not me being facetious either, he's wank.

 

[CharlieAdamno1Fan]

Defoe gone to Rangers

You didn’t need to tell me pal. I saw that for myself when he was at Utd. Playing for them is the only reason he’s still playing football at this high a level.

Defoe gone to Rangers

Not fussed, he doesn't fit in with how LJ wants us to play anyway.

 

[KevinMcallister]

Zumer from Hoffenheim linked

decent that if he comes

 

[CharlieAdamno1Fan]

Not fussed, he doesn't fit in with how LJ wants us to play anyway.

How is that?

 

[Gerry Gow]

Not fussed, he doesn't fit in with how LJ wants us to play anyway.

He’s probably on around 80/100K a week.

Not a fucking chance.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Defoe is ancient, he'll score goals in the SPL but at this level still?

 

[joshD]

How is that?

Put crosses into the box

 

[CharlieAdamno1Fan]

Put crosses into the box

Long balling it then

 

[joshD]

Long balling it then

I don't thing he's trying to get us to play long ball. That i think just came about because he was trying to make us play a way we couldn't (short passing).

Also long ball does not equal crosses

It punting the ball up field or in the area hoping for it to get lucky

Brad Potts confirmed, undisclosed fee, imagine its below £1.5m or the club would be shouting about a record fee.

 

[Craig]

Deffo over a million. Yorkshire post reporting club record though yeah they’re not the club to be fair.

Good luck to him, he’s always given his all in a red shirt and can’t begrudge him another pop at the championship as we may not be here next season.

Yeah 100% over a million but probably just below £1.5m, either way, big outlay for us.

Hope he's half decent, no idea where he slots in.

If you need a winger then that’s where he excels. 7 goals and 7 assists for us, albeit in an utter dog shite league. Played him out of that position quite a bit last season due to having Hammill and Harvey Barnes but he’s in his element when he plays there.
