Transfer News Transfer Window Summer 21

[Scotchegg]

“Good morning, Lower-Half-Championship Club here. Is that OUFC?”
“Yes. How can we help?”
“We’d like to put in a ridiculously low bid for your future international, Rob Atkinson.”
“Yes, of course: we never want to stand in the way of players wanting to move away from us.”
“How much would your no-sell-on price be?”
“Oh, far below his value, of course.”
“Great, we’ll take him. Presume you have a replacement?”
“Er, no, but we’ve still got three days till the season starts.....”

"Good morning mid table Championship team, sorry that you were put through to the cleaner yesterday! Let's start again shall we?"
"Of course, Rob Atkinson?"
"Yep, great kid, good contract, don't want to sell."
"How does a straight £1m sound...?"
"Hahahahaha........."
"OK £1.5m, but no sell on!"
"..........hahahahaha......"
"OK, sorry to be a dick! What about £2m plus 20% sell on, plus appearance bonuses, a deal to give you priority on future loan options and a pre-season friendly!"
"Right, now we can start talking, and don't worry, we do this s**t every year and Luke McNally will be even better!!!"

Think you might need to have a stern chat with yourself... somewhere better than OUFC???

wondered who'd bite! Players from Wimbledon always seem to go to other London clubs, they don't want to end up in the sticks.

 

[Marked Ox]

He'd want to go somewhere better I'm sure, Millwall or Charlton (yes OK we finished above them but they're a bigger concern and in London).

I'll be surprised if he ends up in L1 and not in the Championship. It seems a no brainer for a Championship team to go for him, like you said Millwall or even somewhere like Luton or Coventry.

Really hope you’re right.

Enough to strike fear in to anyone. Put it on ya ceiling, then you can have nightmares.

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

Is it alongside your Steve Anthrobus one ?

Like anyone has a wall wide enough to hang one of those up...

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

Have we ever had a player with Wimbledon connections who was any good for us ?

Danny Hylton

Danny Hylton

Good one

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

Danny Hylton

Although he was only on loan there so never actually their player as such

Alex Gorrinoco?

 

[Big Ron]

Although he was only on loan there so never actually their player as such

And they intensely dislike him - so even better!

There’s definitely a few being released at L1 that could replace Ruffs
Connor Oglivie has turned down a contract at Gillingham - their POTY in 19/20 & a former England youth international

Max Clark hasn’t really kicked on since his move from Hull to the Eredivisie for c.£400k - kept out of the squad by Elder after returning to Hull in February but had shown promise previously

Matt Penney has been released by L1 newcomers Sheffield Wednesday. More of an attacking option - 12 appearances in the Championship last season

Think this year could see a lot of quality players available for free, in general I think it’s the way the lower leagues are heading. Doubled up with clubs cutting their loses after COVID. Will be interesting to see where the better frees end up.

I had 1 not framed but no idea where it is,
