Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2023/24

[iWomble]

You paid a fee for Josh Davison didn't you?

Oh yeah. Forgot about that! Won't have been huge though.

 

[joethegill]

Bloody hope not!

Glenn has been winning our player of the season for the last few seasons. Very good shot stopper. Weaknesses...maybe a little short and his long distribution is hit and miss but he would be a big loss for us.

Casey

Edit, I think we signed him from Gillingham as a keepers coach but the keepers we had at the time were so poor Glenn had to take over.

Yeah he was with us before, I really liked him to be honest but could see why he went to you as the coach offer was something he wanted. The fact he's elongated his career so well is testament to him as a man so personally I would be more than happy to have him back with us.

Gillingham ready to bring experienced keeper back to the club

Gillingham look set to bring experienced goalkeeper Glenn Morris back to the club.

[Who Needs Mourinho]

Stockport and Maybe Bradford will get rid of one before the window closes

I’d only expect us to do that if we have a replacement lined up.

To be honest the Luke McCormick transfer to Bristol Rovers is unlikely to happen because Chelsea will get 50% of any transfer fee . They would have to offer a million for it to be worth it to Wimbledon. I doubt that will happen.

Sorry mate this is now confirmed, joins us on loan until January.

 

[chipmunx]

As I predicted way back in May James Jones the one Barrow player who turned down a contract offer has re-signed for his former club (now full-time) Altrincham in the NL.

 

[joethegill]

Very happy with that, although surprised Crawley have accepted a loan deal to be honest.

Glad he’s joined us, think he’s been their player of the year 4 out of the last 5 seasons?

 

[Soup Ladle]

One page back, we all mostly like him other than Soup Ladle who hates his guts

Haha. Yeah to be fair he's not a good player but might do alright at NL standard.

 

[SVH]

We've signed Fejiri Okenabirhie on a 1 year deal as back up to Joe Ironside. Sounds like he missed the whole of last season with an Achilles problem but got 14 in 32 for Donny overall. Any good Donny fans? What type of striker is he?

 

[Stocky]

James Brown on loan from Blackburn. Looks like back up for MSH with Minihan leaving and Newby likely to be on his way to Notts.

 

[OneDecentLester]

Barrow/Carlisle fans…

Mike Jones has been on trial with us all pre season now, and the 2 occasions I’ve seen him I’ve thought he’s looked neat and tidy and not really put a foot wrong. Rumour is we’re likely to sign him so wondered what your thoughts are on him?

I know he’s 34 now, but likely to be coming in as back up to Banks & Oldaker, as well as Oyeleke when he’s back fit (hoping for a miracle on that one like). Decent back up at NL level you think?

He will be a decent backup at NL level but that's if he can keep himself fit, and that's a big if. He played probably 11-12 games for us at the start of the 20-21 season, got injured and was never really seen again for us. Played in a solitary Pizza Cup game last season.

If he’s fit and can stay fit then a cracking signing. He’s flat footed but apparently nobody at Shrewsbury or us picked up on it which led to the Achilles problem. He likes ball to feet or to run onto? Can also play on the left.

 

[chipmunx]

pretty much agree with everything BarraMatt just said regarding Mike Jones.

 

[OneDecentLester]

This is why I think he’s been on trial all pre season rather than just being signed. He’s obviously good enough to be at the very least back up in the NL, with 500 FL appearances behind him. But with our injury issues last year I think cook is wary of bringing injury prone players in, and he’s probably wanting Jones to prove his fitness over pre season.

If he does well again tonight against Boston, and avoids injury, I can see him getting a contract. His experience could be key.

He played one league game last season and was responsible for two goals - can't remember which game now. Was way, way off the pace and looked like "his legs have gone".

I honestly thought he'd retire or sign for someone way down like Macclesfield.

EDIT: It was Crawley the game I was thinking of, and we only conceded once - but he was dreadful and subbed off after an hour. One of our worst games last season, if I remember rightly.

Apparently he played three times last season!?!

He was a fantastic player for us when we signed him. A big part of our team that reached the league 2 playoffs a few seasons back. Then he started getting injuries and he went downhill. Barrow probably got the over the hill version. Probably decent back up for NL level, but finished at this level.

 

[hellogregory]

Omari Patrick could miss this weekends game against Crawley due to his girlfriend being on the verge of giving birth his impending move to Tranmere.

 

[shoddycollins]

Jamie Devitt has signed a one year contract to stay with us next season.

Great news, I don't think his fitness will allow him to play week in week out for us but one of the things our current squad has been lacking is the experience and nous a player like Devitt brings us.

 

[shoddycollins]

Omari Patrick could miss this weekends game against Crawley due to his girlfriend being on the verge of giving birth his impending move to Tranmere.

If that is the case then it's in very poor taste for Patrick to pretend he is about to become a father and get all the best wishes of the fans, and for Paul Simpson to go along with it in his latest statement.

Yeah his video 3 months ago with all his friends and family involved to do the gender reveal was all part of the grand plan of this move to Tranmere.

 

[Salvador]

Signing #10 (I think) of the window. GK Cieran Slicker on loan from City. No first team experience it appears. Come from City's U23. Hope this isn't a way for Brian Barry-Murphy to get one over on us after his acrimonious departure by sending us a duff keeper!
Looks like O'Donnell as first choice, Slicker as backup/pressure for O'Donnell and our own keeper Brad Kelly will end up out on loan.

To be honest the Luke McCormick transfer to Bristol Rovers is unlikely to happen because Chelsea will get 50% of any transfer fee . They would have to offer a million for it to be worth it to Wimbledon. I doubt that will happen.

I know this year our transfer policy is for Quality over Quantity -- But there is simply no way we would fork out that kind of money. Especially for a fourth division player. I remember when we went down and although we wanted to keep Luke. He stated there was no way he wanted to play 4th div football. Appreciate he is still under contract to you . But players have a way round of getting what they want.

 

[Conker]

dmac at Peterborough said he accepted a six figure offer from Mansfield for Ryan Broom but he doesn’t want to drop down a level, which is fair enough. The only other info is Clough admitted to ‘enquiring’ about him.

We’ve not exactly gone mad this summer, Five brought in total including two keepers and three of them are loans, but we are clearly after one last player that will improve the 11 and the funds are available for it but we may just end up with another forward player on loan at this rate.

Was going to reply with the same thing. Nobody wants to keep an unhappy player. I was surprised McCormick went to Wimbledon and not someone like Charlton.
I wonder if Luke regrets not coming back to the gas now?...at least he is still nearer home I guess

 

[joethegill]

2nd signing of the day is forward Lewis Walker who was with us on trial a few weeks ago. Most recently played in the Italian lower leagues so in truth absolutely none of us know how good he'll be. Son of Des.

 

[BarraMatt]

I'll be having words with Patrick's missus, I captained him for week one.

The idea that he's worth a million quid is unhinged. He's worth what someone will pay, and right now that really isn't any more than a quarter of that. The calculation for us is purely whether we can get a replacement as good for his wages and 50% of the fee, or whether he'll really come good this year and sell for much more later on.
And yes, I bet he'd have swapped a year in League Two and playing in League One this year for relegation followed by who knows how long down here!
