Transfer rumours, targets & new signings

[For Us All]

I know he's far too good for League Two but I'd love us to sign Siriki Dembele who's being released by Posh along with Clarke-Harris and Mark Beevers.

I know he's their player but I'm surprised he played against Burton given the injury risk when money was on the line. From what I've read their board accepted our transfer bid, the manager Duff doesn't actually want him to go and said something to the press about the board being the ones who accepted the offer, maybe him playing this weekend was a bit of a power move? Doesn't matter regardless, looks like he's on the way.

Not a Vale rumour but Jake Beesley has been sold by Rochdale to Blackpool. At least he won't be a problem for us when we go there now. Big loss for them I'd say just based on our game with them.

The overwhelming majority of Cheltenham fans posting about this on twitter since it broke a few days ago are absolutely gutted/furious.

Not only did he somehow make money on Ryan Johnson but he's then flipped it to sign a Purse/Hughes level January auto promotion signing. Flitters is playing 6 dimensional chess the rest of us can't even begin to comprehend.

I'm not surprised. He was a key player for them and the manager made it clear he was still wanted. I believe he wasl MOTM on Saturday.

Morley gone too, getting absolute ransacked.

Dembele isnt being released... he's on the transfer list because they want to get some cash for him before his contract runs out in the Summer. A number of £4m was mentioned a few weeks back when Celtic and Rangers asked about him

[Joe B]

To take the Ryan Johnson money, and then add his wages + Whitehead + Amos to get in a player who was a key player in a title-win last year for a '5 figure fee' is lovely business.

4 more to come, potentially. You Matrix.

Great signing Hussey, he will be the best left back in the league. Hopefully it’s Legge that Crawley are after (can’t see it being anyone else)

I've heard word that Legge is off for a couple of weeks. His omission on Saturday, against a club he's well-liked at, seemed telling (unless he's isolating/injured).

Really peculiar one this. Agree completely with Doha , big risk playing him when a bid accepted. Hussey clearly a top professional by playing on Saturday. 

Now the conundrum in my head. I realise you can never have too many good players and we've got a packed fixture list. Here's the but.....Gibbo arguably player of the season and as fit as a butchers dog. So surely a regular starter .

I'm really interested to see what possible formation changes and teams are picked in the coming weeks and to see where Hussey fits into the equation.  He's clearly a top left back and can adapt to left CH. Interesting times ahead.

You answered your own conspiracy there at the end.

That’s a big shout that considering the season our own wingbacks have had. I thought Benning was going to come in and be the best left back in the league.

The last tweet is interesting.  Claims he had a pee on the pitch 🤣
