Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2023/24

[Richard Cranium]

A shite squad??
I think the only area of the pitch you're stronger than us in is midfield and we're still trying to bring 1/2 more players into that area!

Id have Tommy Lee and Joe Anyon over fat lad Conrad Logan and Bobby olejnik all day long... I'd have a defence of Evatt, Hird and Wiseman over that crock Mirfin who's just looking for a final pay day and a Notts county reject in Krystian Pearce!! I could go on but tbf ill just leave it because it will be quite funny watching your players under perform in the first couple of months and steve Evans come under intense pressure... Then he'll do what he does at every other club when things start going wrong and attempt to turn the squad over again when next window opens... Guess it's just a case of wait and see

You are absolutely deluded if you believe any of that shit. Also I stood at the side of Logan on Tuesday night and too believed he was abit on the larger side but he most certainly isn't. Him Pearce and MacDonald have all shifted some timber this summer and are looking good.

We'll concede less goals than you, keep more clean sheets than you and score more goals than you.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Anyway we still look some way off getting another striker and we are still looking for a central midfielder. I wouldn't be worried if we didn't get either now but I'd like another striker just incase Angol/Rose gets injured as those two will be our main source of goals.

Alex Lawless has signed for Leyton Orient after we released him. Tidy player but I don't think we saw the best of him.

There's a name from the past, used to love Alex when he was with us!

 

[FGRJC]

People on the league two forum bite so much.. The Lincoln fans always bite but Suprised at how defensive fans are getting!!

 

[Chris FGR]

Notts are now offering Haydn Hollis plus cash for Noble apparently.

Can't see us accepting it, but out of interest is Hollis any good?

 

[Youpies]

I'd be surprised if we were offering a player plus cash deal. Not really our style.

Hollis is ok at league two level, makes mistakes every now and again but who doesn't?

Our fans like to pretend they are cultured and like tiki taka football but the crys of gerrit forward soon come. When they do, Hollis is not always the most accurate and has been derised for that too.

I honestly think he's more than good enough for league two

Yeah I agree it's probably first time at least since we have been back in the League there is nobody I would want from the Direites they definately look a Lower Mid Table side especially with Caldwell as Manager and also they have seemed to have mortgaged the Family Sheep farm on O'Grady and it is questionable if he still has the goals in him

 

[Moomin]

There were rumours that he was struggling to stay fit last season which was why he was being left out of the team so often. Not sure why else he'd have been left out as he was outstanding in the NL and solid whenever he did play in L2. I think if he can stay fit he'd be a good but not spectacular signing in this division.

Cheers. So if he can sort his fitness he may be a useful addition. I guess we'll just have to see how he does in a few friendlies and go from there.

If he does anywhere near as well as the last person we got from you then I will be delighted!

 

[Grecian O'Grecian]

Rumours gathering pace that Ollie Watkins is Brentford bound... Expecting a few million in the transfer fee if there's truth in this.

According to FGR's local press we've now offered cash plus Haydn Hollis for Noble.

It's a very weird story that only really makes sense if it's either completely made up or if it's what Cooper has asked for and is going to happen. Would make no sense for us to offer out and potentially unsettle one of only two centre backs we currently have on a whim when we know they're very unlikely to accept it.

Why Cooper would want Hollis? That I can't really explain.

I know the local journalist and he is totally honest.
But yes the saga is becoming ever more mind-numbling.

Very weird. Hollis is a centre back (who I actually think is okay), but when Cooper was here we lost 5-0 all the time. He's also the polar opposite of what MC tends to like in a player.

Anthony Malbon apparently training with us, decent record at non league after being booted from Vale pretty much after turning up to the airport without his passport and missing a pre season trip under Micky Adams. Needs to sort himself and fitness out and potentially we will see the player we hoped a few seasons back. Worth a look certainly.

 

[OneDecentLester]

Tenth signing of the summer as Louis Reed joins from Sheffield United on season long loan..

Comes highly rated from the blades fans who say his main attribute is his sublime passing technique, looking forward to watching him play alongside McCourt who will do the dirty work for him!

Still linked with Semedo and Jonathan Douglas so one to keep an eye on...

 

[jacobncfc]

Noble has signed a new deal. Worked out alright for everyone in the end I think, we've been saved from paying over the odds, FGR keep one of their best players and Noble has engineered himself a nice pay rise. Glad it's not going to drag on any longer.

Over th. Fucking moon with this get in!!! I think we both know he'll score at meadow Lane

 

[jacobncfc]

He'll score and get sent off, the only way he knows at ML.

Once again received no red cards last season... Most of his yellows where from celebrating with fans!!!

 

[hellogregory]

Why do Mansfield fans more than anyone else seem to wank themselves into a frenzy every pre season?

Every year they produce wonderful football in the pre season friendlies and on here we hear about it non stop. 2 summers ago when they outplayed Leicester, it's a game that will live long in my memory for the unbelievable tiki taka football, despite me not being there and only reading about it on here.

 

[Vanni]

Jez George - "Our intention is always that we won't sell to a club in our league," George told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.Read more here - http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/40573511

So it looks like a L2 side are/were interested in signing Luke Berry. I strongly suspect it's Mansfield.

 

[Conker]

You made the mistake of adding a 's' to fan.

 

[Laker]

We've apparently rejected four bids for Berry, the £250k rumour is bollocks according to Jez George and we won't be selling to a club in our division.

I bet he goes to Portsmouth or Millwall (or similar) for about a million.

 

[Vanni]

Will Norris to Wolves confirmed.

 

[AmberRich]

Norris to Wolves for our "biggest transfer deal in 15 years". BBC Cambs suggested it was 400k plus add ons and clauses.

Needs to sort himself and fitness out and potentially we will see the player we hoped a few seasons back. Worth a look certainly.

Be surprised if he left Kidsgrove. I believe one of the directors there employs him and is pretty much holding him to ransom. Missed a fair bit of last season because they kept playing him despite being injured. Think his fitness is highly questionable. Doubt you'll sign him.

 

[JJ1532]

The Liam Noble saga just proves that even League Two exists outside reality. If I threatened to leave my job, I'd get shown the door, not given more money. If Doidge and KMB have any sense, they'll be handing in transfer requests tomorrow.

 

[Shapemaker]

25 years of 'we're gonna do this' , 'we're gonna do that' only for them to do nothing apart from the odd lucky victory sort of makes mansfields claims of superiority rather cringe , good luck tho and congrats if you do but you've certainly not learnt any lesson. It'd be nice for you to finish above us for the first time in 25 years to be fair. 25 years eh? 25 years of being our tiny little bitches. No wonder they are so bitter. Bless em. We only had 3 sides. Seriously good luck tho.

[GTFCfish]

Will Norris to Wolves confirmed.

I can't believe he's left Coronation Street.

 

[Richard Cranium]

I love the fact everyone seems to be showing us some attention with regards to some of our fans getting carried away this season. Every other year no one has batted an eye lid.

I wonder what's changed.
