Summer Transfer Rumour Thread 2024

[Lizard68]

I'll get this started for another summer of specualtion and counter-specualtion.

First up, Jon Brady has today confirmed that both Marc Leonard and Kieron Bowie will play their last home game this Saturday and neither will return next season. I think we all thought this would be the case but held out some hope that we could tempt Bowie back when his contract ends at Fulham this summer.

These players are going to be very hard to replace and could make or break our chances next season.

I would like to thank both players for their efforts for the last two seasons, it has been a priviledge to watch them grow in to two superb players and I'm sure their careers will go from strength to strength. Thank you Marc and Kieron - probably two of the best loan players to ever represent the club and over TWO seasons to boot.         

[Irchy cob]

Agree completely - 2 of the best loan players in our recent history.

Indeed and I would agree with this. I would also mention Matthew Rush as one our best loan players.

The return of a good old favourite thread albeit with the date moved on a year.

I too would like to thank Mark and Kieron for their efforts over the last two seasons and wish them well for the future. It would be great to see them both play for the same Scotland side in a major tournament.

If we are taking rumours

Bowie to Hearts

Worth keeping a eye on Jack Diamond,  OOC at Sunderland in the summer i believe.

Agree with Lizard and Irchy.

Also Morton!!

Also Morton!!

Good call evers, I had forgot about Ginger.

They’ll be a tough act to follow, big thanks to both of them for the last two seasons 👍

Good call about Jack Diamond, a player JB has always liked. However, he wasn't very impressive when he came on for Carlisle recently.

Others, John Marquis - not playing for Bristol Rovers.
Jayden Stockley  - if Fleetwood go down and seems to have fallen out of favour under Charlie Adam.

It’s a no to John Marquis from me, only 4 EFL goals this season, he’s not getting into their 18 man match day squad and Rovers fans can’t get rid of him quick enough.

[Manwork04]

Currently in Glasgow enjoying the delights of this fair city, thank you Marc and Kieron your contribution has been wonderful you are a credit to yourselves, good luck for the future you will always get a warm welcome from the shoe army.

I agree. Would be a backwards step.

[Coolcat]

Are we going to have testimonials for them? 

[BackOfTheNet]

I loved Marquis when we had him before and I think Page made a massive error in not signing him when we had the chance. I think we''d probably be a couple of seasons too late in going for him now though.

The fans who had complained about Simpson's lack of effort would have a field day with Marquis based on his lack of movement when he came on at Sixfields

[Ragdoll Cobbler]

Matty Stevens from relegated FGR could be decent squad option...still only 26 & wages would probably be a third of what Hylton was/is being paid!

[TVOR]

Luke Harris on loan.

[west stand oap]

If Fulham are happy for Harris to go out on loan again in division 1 they will probably be happy to let him return to Exeter.

I know we only have a small budget, but i dont think  getting players from relegated, or nearly relegated Clubs, or players who cant get into mid table teams is the way to go. Smacks of giving up and accepting we  are  favourites for relegation.
