Feel free ladies and gentlemen to chip in with any official transfers including loan players in League Two and I'll update it on a daily basis. I guess someone will do a released/retained list in another post.

Wrexham

Just to start the ball rolling.  I'll add multiple signings for May in the next post to get it fully up to date.

Gillingham have signed Conor Masterson (centre-back) on a permanent deal after his release by QPR.The 24-year-old returned for a second loan spell in January, making 20 appearances, scoring two goals. He had also played during the back end of the 2021/22 campaign, featuring 18 times.

Mastersons return to Priestfield helped spark a magnificent up turn in form which saw Gills take 35 points from a possible 60 in games he played.  Departing Anfield for QPR in July 2019, signing a two-year contract and made his professional debut in an FA Cup tie at home to Swansea in January the following year. He scored his first goal against Millwall at Loftus Road in July 2020.

Barrow signed Junior Tiensia (left-Back) on a free transfer. The 22 year old started his career at Millwall and was a highly rated prospect at the Den, learning his trade in senior football with loan spells at Havant & Waterlooville, Dover and Dartford.

Quality or quantity?

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Quality or quantity?

The CB is quality not sure on the others.

Quoted from Mappers

The CB is quality not sure on the others.

The CB is 38 by the time the season starts. Should it happen, Ryan Bennett would be a substantially bigger coup, imo.

Yeah he played 30 games in The Champ last season though and they did not want him to go a lot of Rotherham fans ,so he should be decent at league 2 you would have thought . Is there still sny chance of Bennett ?

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Quality or quantity?

Richard Wood who was regularly playing in the Championship for Rotherham last year and Jamie Sterry who is probably one of the best/better full backs in League 2. I'd say that's 2 quality signings out of 2 so far for Doncaster.

Agree on Donny's early business, looks very good. Sterry has injury problems but I'd have still had him here. Wood should be quality. Worth pointing out that Darren Pratley just captained Orient to the title and Peter Clarke was in the team of the year in 21/22, both aged 38 at the time.

I expect a transfer or contract renewal this week for sure .

Suspect we have already done a couple of transfers ,just staggering the announcement .

Would be very suprised if Naylor would drop down to League 2 , they liked him at Pompey he was decent there tbf and has played higher up most of the time while still being at a decent age ,if not on the young side .

Mansfield Town have signed Baily Cargill (LB/CB) on a two-year deal after he was released by Forest Green Rovers. The 27-year-old left footed centre-back, who can also play at full-back has two promotions from League Two on his CV; the most recent from his time at Forest Green were crowned champions in May 2022. Baily’s other fourth tier promotion was with MK Dons in 2019, finishing third in his first season.

Liam Gibson signs for Harrogate

Quoted from LocalLadGTFC

Liam Gibson signs for Harrogate

I thought he was o.k. when we had him on loan. Looked like he could have been a bit fitter (not his fault) but had a bit of quality.

I don't even remember him

Quoted from Madeleymariner

I don't even remember him

Right back for a bit under Holloway, either was injured before arriving or had no game time so looked like he was struggling for fitness at first, had a decent touch though.

Left-back, not a right-back.

I seem to remember he looked OK in general, but was recovering from surgery - had part of his bowel removed or something similar? Never seemed to get properly fit and then picked up injuries as well, I think. He's been pretty regular for Morecambe so ought to be a decent signing for Harrogate.

Morecambe are another one who have financial trouble and suspect will struggle badly ,only 5 contracted players and lost all their  best ones,with minimal resources to replace anyone .

Quoted from Mappers

Morecambe are another one who have financial trouble and suspect will struggle badly ,only 5 contracted players and lost all their  best ones,with minimal resources to replace anyone .

I thought one of those heavyweight boxers was investing in Morecambe, or was it Fleetwood?

Morecambe and Sutton my favourites to go down this year. Squads have been picked to pieces and looks like they don't have the financial muscle to compete with others, I may be totally wrong but just a punters guess.. Particularly Morecambe it seems since the relegation they've just been ransacked.

Kristian Dennis signed for Tranmere on a 2 year deal  after rejecting a contract at Carlisle .

Seems to have had a decent career ,just not at Town .

Quoted from Maringer

Left-back, not a right-back.

Gibson could read the game really well, and was rarely beaten when he played for us. Not flashy or exciting, but simple and effective. He had a footballers brain and I enjoyed watching him play. Would have happily kept him 3 years ago, but he wanted to return to Newcastle to stake a claim for the first team squad. Quite fanciful, but he ended up having a decent couple of years at Morecambe.

Quoted from Mappers

Kristian Dennis signed for Tranmere on a 2 year deal  after rejecting a contract at Carlisle .

Seems to have had a decent career ,just not at Town .

Fair play to him for kickstarting his career because he looked absolutely pants here.  Just had a look at his record and it's not all that to be honest.  Lots of purple and barren patches.

Shedload at Curzon Ashton and Mossley in the Dog & Duck League.  1 in 3 at Stockport in the Conf. North, three good years at Macclesfield and Chesterfield up to League then only last season with a decent return in the last 5.  I saw something on Twitter from a Carlisle fan saying they weren't that concerned as he'd fallen down the pecking order and his confidence plummeted after a missed penalty.  

Saw Kristian Dennis at Bradford in playoffs. Came on as sub. Nothing special

Kristian Dennis is a prime example of why stats etc should play a smaller part in judging who we sign than some usually make them. He scored 2 goals last year, and very little the seasons before. If we'd signed him last season I am sure we'd have that pointed out as a negative, however he would now tick the box many want now...

Don't make assumptions about teams who only have a small number of players signed at this point. I have a very good mate who was panicking that his team only had 7 senior players signed the week before last pre season and was full of doom and gloom.

He supports......Stevenage.

Yeah I did not rate Dennis as a player but he does have a reasonable record lower down .

Tranmere are another one I can't see doing well , picking up older players generally at the back end of their careers with minimal investment , they remind me of us previously . They have recruited Adkins as director of football which is an interesting one.

Tranmere
Sutton
Morecambe
Crawley

These are strugglers for me maybe with Colchester  and Harrogate ? Who always seem to be down there . I think you will see 5 or 6 teams cut off with the rest pretty closely matched .

Grimsby Town sign forward Danny Rose on a 2-year deal!

Doncaster Rovers have signed George Broadbent (MF) from newly-promoted Premier League side Sheffield United on a two-year deal with the option for a third for an undisclosed fee. As a 16-year-old after progressing through the Manchester United Academy. He picked up senior experience first with Belgian club Beerschot before making 27 appearances for Rochdale during the 2021/22 campaign.

Quoted from Mappers

David McGoldrick signs for Notts County on 2 year deal

Spending their Langstaff money early. 22 goals in League One last season; they might just out-Wrexham Wrexham at this rate.

On past seasons, signings so far, resources and fanbase I expect Notts, Wrexham, Doncaster and Bradford up there with maybe town being the dark horses.

Struggling will be Colchester, Crawley, Morecambe, Sutton and maybe even Crewe, especially if they lose Agyei.

You can add Stockport ,Mansfield and Gillingham to the challengers with Barrow alongside us as outsiders (and potentially Accrington )

Walsall ,Harrogate and Tranmere i can see doing badly + maybe Newport ?

I know we wont openly admit targets but 69 points would keep us in the mix for the play - offs

Quoted from Mappers

I know we wont openly admit targets but 69 points would keep us in the mix for the play - offs

Wiki quotes a club statement:  "David hasn’t made this decision for financial reasons. His love and respect for the club have brought him home"


Not sure if Ryan Bennett feels the same way about Town...  

Mcgoldrick hasnt signed purley for the money,he's a Nottingham lad who graduated through Notts youth squad and has often said that he supports Notts and would love to finish his career with them, I've got to admit that I'm surprised that he signed though because Derby wanted him to stay and had put a decent offer on the table,pleased to see him back though

Very little there which makes you think other clubs are doing better business than us. Pattison to Bradford and Norris to Tranmere look like decent signings, but beyond that it’s all rather beige.

If McDonald is fit, that's a great signing for Bradford.

If it wasn't for him needing a kidney transplant he would still be at a higher level.  Got games last season for Exeter after signing in January and did pretty well I think.

No questioning his pedigree, but 34, barely 20 appearances since Covid kicked off and running on a borrowed kidney, it’s got to be a huge ask of him to negotiate the rigours of League Two football over a long, hard season, hasn’t it?
