League One transfers so far

[Lincoln Shrimp]

James Henry was the other right sided midfielder we were trying to sign.

So it was either Henry or Kightly?

So it was either Henry or Kightly?

That's what I thought. But even after we signed Kightly we were still interested.....apparently.

Of course the focus and budget could have moved to a different position or Oxford could have out bid us.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Damn. Great goalie Christian Walton has just signed for Wigan on a season long loan. That will boost their chances of finishing top three.

 

[Ricey]

Sunderland have bid £900k for James Vaughan.

 

[LennySUFC]

Sunderland have bid £900k for James Vaughan.

It's fine because they did their business early and now have 7 CBs! :winking:

 

[flangejackrabbit]

Well if Vaughan is going for 900k that sets down the marker for the sort of sum we should be looking at for Lenny.

 

[cerbera45]

but Vaughan is a striker/goalscorer

 

[5scoops]

Ricky Miller from Dover be interesting how he does in league football

 

[flangejackrabbit]

but Vaughan is a striker/goalscorer

He's also a good deal older. Both have only a year left on their contracts.

Well, now we know where Bury have got their cash from that they've been splashing - this was clearly the plan all along.

I wouldn't expect much from him during posh's first 6 games of the season! :winking:

This isn't about Div 1 transfers BUT..

HAS THE WORLD GONE FECKING MAD!!!!!!!!!!:angry::sad::'(

Some, most of the Premshite transfers are BONKERS, tens of £million on players that are only better than average and untried in the main, BONKERS and SO FAR FROM EVERY DAY REALITY IT (almost) MAKES ME WEEP FOR OUR SOCIETY.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Indeed but its all because of the increased tv money. Even the most mundane awful Premiership teams (Watford, West Ham, Stoke) get millions every season. Add in the high cost of season tickets, shirts, etc, the clubs are raking it in so can afford to pay ridiculous fees. You do think the bubble may burst one day but people have been saying that for a few years now. It wont be long till a player here is earning £1m a week.

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Pleased to see a local lad has done well. Rob Hunt an ex Deanes pupil has just signed a 3 year contract with Oldham. He went to Brighton on leaving school and eventually spent a period at the end of the season on loan at Oldham. His chances at Brighton were very limited fiollowing promotion. A good move for him.

 

[Jai]

Lee Erwin to Oxford apparently. Another very good signing by them. Must admit the division is looking extremely strong this year.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Yes - at this early stage I would say it is looking like the league is going to be very competitive.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Portsmouth have signed Brett Pitman, another good signing for them and reiterates the point above.

 

[5scoops]

I wouldn't expect much from him during posh's first 6 games of the season! :winking:

You heard first I should southend scout so many I spotted gone on to well in non league

Bet Ricky scores more then Mooney did and Mooney goals from penalty kicks

 

[Ricey]

Nicky Ajose has gone to Bury on a season long loan.

 

[secondalibi]

Nicky Ajose has gone to Bury on a season long loan.

Good signing for them. Ajose and Beckford could form a dangerous partnership.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Nicky Ajose has gone to Bury on a season long loan.

Is it me or is that rather odd? Ajose remains as a Charlton player (in the same league) but has gone out on loan again. Do they (Charlton) want him or not? Or is it a case of Ajose being on a good contract in this league and Charlton are trying to limit the cost of Ajose by loaning him out?

And will Charlton be able to "call him back" if they have need of his services?

I don't like all this. For me it's all a bit of a mockery. I would even go as far as saying farcical. :sad:
