If we get promoted (a big if), arguably we'd be better placed than a top end L1 club. He settled and performed here, our system suits him and he'd still be playing at the same level. He'd also be more likely to get regular gametime. Hopefully we wouldn't be in the midst of a relgation battle too given how Orient, Northampton and Stevenage are doing. The financials will of course matter but I would have thought we'd have a strong case and his injury will make Villa and Championship sides think twice about a move straight to that level. Season long loan with a January recall makes sense... Though when and how he returns will be play a part. It's not a big if, I have no doubt whatsoever we'll be promoted. There's no part of me that thinks we'll miss out. I still think we'll comfortably be champions too. Fair enough. More my turn of phrase. The point being we, of course, should expect to reach L1 and plan for it given the position we're in but it far from a formality.

Luke Bolton to Wrexham by looks of it Good player. Won’t help them at CB, but a good player nonetheless. Yeah bit strange given their fans what another CB and striking option with pace as a priority but you don't turn down a good player and they've had injury problems at wingback.

He much prefers to play rw. On a separate note - didn't Salford reject a bid from Wrexham the other week of 400k? I sure it was coming from decent sources

They will be offereing an awful lot of money to get him, even by Wrexham's standards.

Has anyone kept an eye on the Tranmere tickets as to how many are available?
Not sure if they're being released in dribs and drabs but there doesn't seem to be any showing now.

This keeps happening, some people will see that and and make other arrangements for the day then another batch get released.

Based on him being better than Al Ahmedi and being at a premier league club. You’ve watched a lot of Wimbledon player have you? Also not sure what the second bit has to do with anything. As it happens, I've seen a fair amount of him. Barry was at least matching what Al Hamedi was doing prior to his injury, it's not a stretch to suggest he'd have more goals & assists than him now had he not picked up the injury. Being at a prem club is very relevant as that automatically inflates the fee as they have the money to sit on him and wait if they didn't want to sell.

I think if we go up, we'll get him again on loan next season unless he's absolutely immense again in the last couple of months and draws attention from Championship and the high end L1 clubs. If we get promoted (a big if), arguably we'd be better placed than a top end L1 club. He settled and performed here, our system suits him and he'd still be playing at the same level. He'd also be more likely to get regular gametime. Hopefully we wouldn't be in the midst of a relgation battle too given how Orient, Northampton and Stevenage are doing. The financials will of course matter but I would have thought we'd have a strong case and his injury will make Villa and Championship sides think twice about a move straight to that level. Season long loan with a January recall makes sense... Though when and how he returns will be play a part. Not a cat in hell's chance we will be in a relegation fight next season.

£1.75m is the fee apparently. People laughed at me when I said Barry would be £5m+. According to Ipswich board just over £1m plus add ons

According to Ipswich board just over £1m plus add ons Wimbledons statement on the price "The deal is the highest amount received in the AFC Wimbledon era, and includes future incentives which could see the transfer become a record amount at League Two level." Ollie Watkins was just under 2 million so maybe 1.5 million + 500k in add ons

I wonder if Bolton has been in training this week? It's not going to do Salford any favours if he's been involved in the preparation for their game on Saturday and then he ends up playing for the opposition.
