Apologies if there is a transfer thread I'm opening a thread for the January transfer window which has now opened.
Who should be a potential signing for us and who should move on either via loan or permanently? I've heard Kyrell Lisbie & Gus Scott Morriss mentioned as potential targets but could they potentially make the jump from NL to L2? Some players do but others don't.
Plus actual transfers that we bring in & out can also be mentioned here. |  |

Unfortunately, neither Donnelly nor McDonnell are our players to manage. The only way to keep them would be to outbid anyone else and sign them with pounds sterling (or Scottish pounds - "I think you'll find Jimmy that's legal tender"). Sadly, can't see that happening, though I'd love to be wrong. |  |

Yes you are right Wessex, the danger of having players on loan in league 2 who do very well as we saw last season with Joe Taylor. Clubs loan them out in the summer and if they do well other clubs higher up the league than us come in for loans, or as in this case a buyout. |  | | |

Hopefully he will decline move to Dundee
Not good if he goes |
I don't think he will decline it, he loved it there last season and was a fans favourite, they are really chuffed up there and talking like he has already signed, perhaps he has..... | | | |

Whilst not ideal if Donnelly goes we do have decent replacements in Goodliffe and Kelleher. McDonnell would be a far greater loss right now. |  |

I hope not - I've watched Braintree a few times and not once been impressed with Lisbie
The possible one we should have taken a punt on is Ollie Pearce when he was at Worthing but now at York City. Could he be tempted to return south with us? |
I don't think we will be outbidding York City anytime soon. Looks like the Ugglas make RC look like Oliver.

I can't see Mitchell marrying a Rimmer (phnaar phnaar) at Blenheim Palace anytime soon.
It just shows what teams in the National League are up against and why we must turn our fourtunes around now, while we have a chance. If we go down we wouldn't have a cat in hells chance of coming back up under RC. [Post edited 8 Jan 11:45]

Is there some confusion with the post on Jul 24, 2023 when he signed for them before? | | | |

Sadly I don't think so. |
I expect it will happen, but I don't think it has been announced yet.
A bit or a coincidence that we are competing with Dundee for an attacking midfielder (isn't that the one place we don't need anyone?)

If Payne is off, we might as well give up. [Post edited 8 Jan 11:25]

Dundee about to announce a signing at 12 today, I reckon that’s Donnelly. | | | |

Another three and a half years deal. We are not even at the races. | | | |

All the bottom teams are really going for it, Swindon bring in Tom Nichols on loan, an experienced striker who may come good for them after a lean period elsewhere. | | | |

I'm pretty sure if we were signing Tom Nichols it would be met with plenty of derision from the fans. | |

Probably! But it’s only a loan and he is a clever experienced striker who may well have a purple patch as he has previously. | | | |

What concerns me is we seem to be totally passive but maybe as we effectively only have DC and NC recruiting now they are holding there powder dry. Hope so!
When you look at the money being spent by for example Carlisle and National League teams I do worry we are not in the least bit competitive as the transfer market does seem to be very active at the moment. | | | |

Makes me wonder if a deal is in the offing for Samson, so we are waiting to see how that pans out 1st. We did sell a lot of players in the last few months but no doubt the payments will come through in agreed stages. | | | |

Bim Pepple has just been recalled by Luton from his loan at Southend, I suspect they will loan him out again to someone in league 2, I wonder if we are in for him? | | | |

Based on what I have seen about his loan at Southend he could do a job for us. | | | |

Pepple seems to have goalscoring form but he scored 0 from 11 appearance for grimsby which is a worry. | |

Any chance of some good news for a change.
Have we forgotten we went 11 games unbeaten only recently.
Donnelly is a big loss but Tovide would be an even bigger one.
