🧵Sensible Transfers: #WorClub

Gateshead are a side I have a lot of time for; they play attractive, attacking football

Here are 5 signings based on YOUR suggestions

Remember to comment your team + 5 positions below 👇 Image
GK: Tiernan Brooks

#Notts confirmed today they are looking for another senior keeper, so a full time loan for Brooks is needed

Brooks showed he is a confident keeper, a strong shot stopper and most crucially for the Heed, quality at playing out from the back. A wonderful fit Image
CB: Jack Bodenham

Gateshead need technically proficient defenders, and 23 year old Bodenham is certainly that. He plays plenty of passes out from the back and has strong technique due to his pedigree

Based in the North East and likely to be low cost, it makes sense Image
LWB: Reece Kendall

Playing his football just down the road at Spennymoor, Kendall handled the step up from Matlock brilliantly, suggesting he could do the same again

One of the most attacking full backs in the league, I believe he would be a perfect fit at LWB Image
CM: Ed Francis

Another #Notts shout in this list is a man who impressed during his loan there earlier this season

Francis is a quality technical footballer, and showed he fits the style Williamson wants to play. He’s already impressed there, and making it permanent makes sense Image
ST: Darius Osei

27 year old Osei hit double digits for South Shields this season, and I believe he is ready to step back up the divisions

Geography makes sense, and he’s used to a full time model, so would have no issues adapting there either. I believe he’d compliment them Image
CM: Callum Whelan

As was highlighted by @CallumTREFL, Whelan should really have been listed here, and really it was a toss up between him & Francis

As a result I’ve decided to include a special bonus 6th signing. Whelan was immense on loan; making it permanent just makes sense Image

Last weekend, Joselu played in the Champions League final, ending on the winning side

8 years ago he played in another final; the Development League Cup final

Both sides are packed with interesting players; but the question is, where are they now? 🤔

[THREAD] 🧵 Image
Dale Eve
Age: 29
Position(s): GK
Nation: England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Club: Walsall Wood

We start off in non league, with Walsall Wood stopper Eve

He’s also a Bermudan international, and has had 18 clubs in his career so far Image
Phil Bardsley
Age: 38
Position(s): RB
Nation: England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Club: Retired

Barnsley was still playing in 2023, at Stockport, but he announced 12 months ago that he would retire

At this point he was already a PL regular; where he would spend the vast majority of his extensive career Image

They’ve signed players from 1, 2 & 3 leagues below

Brought players in from the 2nd tier of Denmark & USA

Everyone had them tipped to finish bottom

Yet Crawley Town are now on the cusp of the playoffs

Here is the story of arguably the best recruitment in League 2

[THREAD] 🧵 Image
Rome wasn’t built in a day. A playoff achieving squad isn’t built overnight.

It takes several windows at this level to get it right

As a result we will be going through the last 2 seasons to see how Crawley have crafted this squad Image
Corey Addai
Age: 26
Position(s): GK
Signed From: Esbjerg

We start with a sensational piece of scouting. Addai was signed from the Danish 2nd tier

Statistically he’s been absolutely superb this season. They have themselves a top goalkeeper Image

🧵DANIEL CROWLEY - #Notts

Luke Williams’ latest recruit is attacking midfielder Crowley

He’s especially interesting as he’s spent much of his career in the Netherlands

Here is a thread on the new man, and what we can expect from him 👇 Image
The Key Stats

Age: 25
Height: 5ft9
Last Club: Morecambe
Position: AM (as shown in graphic)

22/23 (League One):
Games: 21
Goals: 2
Assists: 5
1.25 Chances Created per 90
671 passes completed (87% accuracy)
8 tackles won (73% accuracy) Image
The first thing that catches the eye about Crowley is the speed and quickness of his movement. In particular, how quickly he’s able to manipulate the ball by shifting his feet

Here he completely takes the defender out of the game, opening the space for a perfectly weighted pass

🧵When Cole Stockton (@cstockton94) signed for #BAFC I expected the reaction to be overwhelmingly positive

It was in fact mixed, which surprised me

So here is a thread showing why I believe Burton fans should be optimistic about their new signing 👇 Image
Firstly, he is a player capable of the spectacular. He’s able to grab the game and win points single handedly with moments like this

7 of his 11 goals came in his final 4 games; he almost single handedly kept Morecambe up
Stockton is a big forward, over 6ft. But his improvisation is always so impressive, especially when it involves acrobatics

Here he reacts so quickly, capitalising on an opportunity with a spectacular finish

🧵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England play against North Macedonia tonight. England aren’t adverse to former Non-League players, with Mings in the current squad potentially playing tonight

So here is an XI of players in Non-League who I feel could one day pull on the famous 3 Lions Shirt 👇 Image
Owen Foster

Scunthorpe’s 18 year old keeper Foster had a brilliant stint when called upon last season, so much so that he is now going on trial at several Championship clubs

A brilliant shot stopper, Foster has massive potential. Needs the right development Image
Kellen Fisher

Okay, so Fisher isn’t technically a NL player anymore BUT he only just moved to Norwich, so I’m counting him here

That move says it all for him really - he has genuine potential to be a top right back. He’s already mature beyond his years at 18 Image

🧵Sensible Transfers: #swfc

Promoted side Sheffield Wednesday were requested yday afternoon. So here are 5 players they could look at based on YOUR suggestions

Remember to comment your team + 5 positions below 👇 Image
GK: Josh Vickers

Wednesday rotated their keepers last season, so you’d expect them to need to add another safe pair of hands

Vickers is exactly that. He’s based fairly locally, so geography works, and he’s shown over a number of years he’s a very capable keeper Image
CB: Lloyd Jones

A defender I’d like to see make the step up with Wednesday is Jones. He’s been brilliant for Cambridge for a number of years, and is now available on a free

A strong defender, one in his prime at 27, Jones is capable on the ball & would be a cost effective move Image
