January Transfer Window (rumours + actuals)

Oh Eddie Youds... said:

Someone on ITTV has suggested Owen Dale as a player we should look at.

Always been impressed when I’ve seen him play against us & he fits the bill in terms of being able to play our wide (plus upfront when needed)

Oxford apparently looking to off load him this window:

And the bulk of that £1.2M (though hopefully not quite all of it) went on signing and paying Ahadme. 

It was clearly stated at start of season that the minimum aim was play offs so I don’t think “top ten” is much of an improvement. 

Fans showed a lot of commitment in buying STs this season. Going to be a lot needed to convince most to renew. A good window and positive second half of season will be vital to that - especially if we’re facing yet another (sixth in a row?) season in L1. 

Pretty sure it's been put on a thread recently that we didn't pay the bulk of the Ahadme fee up front it was around £325k or so with the rest in add-ons and a promotion bonus? though stand to be corrected.

Yeah it was but not sure the maths adds up there. Otherwise there should be a lot of the May money still sat in the bank.

Doesnt it? 

We brought in 5 players on transfer fees in the summer, lets be generous with some of those figures:

Ahadme 300K
Godden 200K
Mitchell 200k
Edwards 85K (a reported figure from Scotland)
Dixon 50K

Thats 835K before adding in Docherty and Mannion's signing on fees as well as any potential loan fee for Campbell.*

And seeing as theres a desperation for Ahadme to have actually cost us 800K up front then theres even less left, like, none. 

And if Godden and Mitchell cost us 100K each then at most theres 500K left from the May money, but thats being generous and not including wages.

* And of course the unforgettable Potts and Hylton (I believe an itk was on here saying the delay around Potts coming in was because he had some high wage expectations) 

Yeah but Ahadme is absolute crap, Godden is meh. It’s like the Sandgaard era never ended.

Ahadme was at least 600,000 first instalment as 50% of a deal has to be paid the other 50% over the next two years .. Godden was 450,000 , Mitchell was 350,000 that come from Millwall

Doubt he’d come to us, think he’s good mates with Charlie Kirk whom I can’t imagine would give us a glowing reference

Fucking hell 
4 seasons in 74 years in the third tier of wankness 
Currently in our 11th season of the last 16 in this division 
we’ve been relegated in to third tier 6 times the longest being 3 seasons to get out until now and we’re in season 5 of this current shameful run 
be patient, fcuk off 
it’s always the next window and a load of shit arrives and we tug away about how great we’ll be and it’s another year of failure all at the same time as the two local rivals are having their best ever footballing periods of longevity 
promotion is what’s needed anything else is failure and finishing 3rd and not going up would be a step forward but will count for nothing the season after when we all start again on 0 points 

Leave off oohaah, we’re 4 unbeaten having won 3 of them.  Everything is great again and we just need one or two more this window and we’ll have enough for the top 6

6 unbeaten in the league............although 3 of those were 0-0 draws.

Lloyd Jones has just posted a 2 minute video on his instragram of his highlights in our games. Better not be the start of a goodbye video

His agents put out the following on twitter

https://x.com/crownfootball1/status/1878206167337304310?s=46

Is that odd for an agent to post a highlights video for a reasonably meaningless game involving a client?

I'm.sure it must be a spoof account. Can't be real surely.

One I would like to see us go for is Ronan Darcy at Crawley. Can play as a 10, winger or RWB. Has been Crawley's best player this season and still only 24. 6 months left on his contract so can't imagine he would cost much and plays in all the roles we are short in.
