Who else have Crawley signed or are rumoured to be signing - all I’ve seen is Telford and there’s a distinct possibility that he might turn out a one-season wonder? When you say ex-loan players I assume you mean Eppiah as all of the others were ****? As far as I was aware Magloire is now out of contract? Are there any rumoured incomings in the near future?
Magloire has another year at Blackburn after they triggered the club's option of a contract extension.

Ah, that old chestnut - he’s decent enough but I can’t see him ever getting near Blackburn’s first team.

I liked Magloire. Would happily have him back as versatile cover and healthy competition for a CB and/or Aaron's spot.

As i said last week Horsfall to Stockport is a done deal . Stockport and Crawley are out bidding each other for players and are miles ahead of anyone else . Still beware Wrexham .
re: Wrexham, taken from Twitter. VNL Insider @VNL_ITK_2022 · Jun 22 ⚪️🔴 Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson has been told he only has around 35% of last season’s budget available for this summers transfers. Last season’s spending was funded by a sponsorship deal with TikTok. The owners are reluctant to invest to much of there own personal cash.

Crawley may not be signing players but they are offering big money to contracted well known players to tempt them away . Magloire will depend on Blackburn’s new manager. Eppiah is the only other one to be considered - complications there .

I’d be very happy to see Eppiah back, real bums off seats player, seems to fit our profile of being injury prone as well, what’s not to like.

When you say contracted well known players have you any names? Are you hinting that they might be sniffing around some of our players?

Believe he wiped that out 2 or so days ago by converting £7.7M of debt to him into equity. Local chap and a fan of the club so fair play to him for doing so. Thats a huge sum to accrue in 2.5 years though, assume it wasnt all just on the playing side of things (no idea though).
Right again LJ - they still don’t own EP but have a long lease with local council which provided no lease terms are broken makes the ground as good as theirs. What I can’t quite understand is that their owner appears to be very wealthy according to posters on their forum; yet most of the finances appear to be tied up in a myriad of lease arrangements. Why complicate ownership to this extent. Makes our situation appear straightforward?

Tax avoidance, they will be using the loans to offset.

Cornell must have the world's greatest agent- not even a decent league 2 keeper in my opinion.
Regarding Crawley and Stockport-from what I have read-does not look like the most thought out of approaches -a bit like Salford who recruit championship strikers on 5k a week when they get about 3 fans going to an away game.
This season looks like its going to be a tough one that being said.

Well recent history would suggest it's not the big spenders who go up, it's the coherent ones.
Exeter / Cheltenham / Port Vale / Morecambe / Bristol Rovers

Crawley and Stockport are completely different animals! One is a club who were in the Championship as recently as 2002, were beset by financial issues, slid all the way down to the Conference North by 2013, have since bounced back with promotion to the National League and now the EFL, played in front of 10000 capacity crowds on numerous occasions last season, took over 2000 fans away from home to a few games too......the other is Crawley Town! What Stockport have done is galvanised the support, in a similar way to what Luton did after their issues, what Lincoln did after dipping into the non-league and what Grimsby are doing after the same fate befell them. Everything that Crawley do going forward is "manufactured", in the same way as it is at Salford, and you can probably add the likes of Fleetwood and Harrogate to that.

Didn't actually play a game for AFCW. Started out at Palace for whom he never played either, loan spells at Margate and Kinstonian before joining Whyteleaf and Kingstonian on a permanent basis (5 goals in 9 games) then joining up with the Wombles. Loan spells at Aldershot (9 goals in 19 starts) and most recently Colchester (3 starts and 8 sub appearances since joining in the January window, scoring one goal) before being released by AFC. Two year deal for a player with three league starts?

Still, got to be a better option than Kabamba right? Decent age with numerous clubs looking at him apparently... https://the72.co.uk/2022/05/23/afc-wimbledon-release-corie-andrews-with-swindon-town-and-newport-county-lurking/

I'm sure someone thought Kabamba was a decent option at the time!! In fact Kabamba was probably "more proven" than Andrews having scored almost 100 goals at different levels. Certainly though Andrews is a decent age, at 24 can hopefully improve, and yes he certainly has his suitors it appears.

That Twitter site is a constant source of misinformation. A few days ago, they had Scott Pollock joining Dagenham. I enjoy reading them though!

Fraser has finally signed for Stockport according to the official site.
Has anybody noticed Aaron McGowan in those training shots, I was just wondering if he is still injured.
