If we could pick up LM for free/small fee then I would be very keen. I think he would be a decent midfield option with a lot of potential. We would have to try and keep him under contract so we can cash in if he flourishes (and not lose for a free, like we might with Evans). It’s tricky holding onto a player if they want to move- when have we ever managed to do it? When he was here you got the impression that Luke was quite close to JB and indeed they both made comments about staying in touch. It was noticeable that when we got promoted Luke made some congratulatory tweet about it in such a way that I retweeted at the time that it was a “ come and get me “ comment if ever there was one. If JB is truly interested then you wonder who leaked the news as Rovers seem to play their cards so close to their chest at the moment and I have never known a time of so few rumours about possible signings - it has to have been leaked deliberately to try and orchestrate the move .

I dont think anything was leaked its just people putting 2 and 2 together as he was a fans favourite, Barton clearly liked him and we have now swopped leagues. I saw that tweet too wishing us luck on that final day, thats more than a lot of ex permanent players did! Leahy didnt even bother to send a goodbye message

The season Luke played for us he was the stand out player.He has played two seasons in poor teams, joining a team on a high would allow him to show just how good he is. The right age playing alongside Evans brilliant sign him up!

I’m torn. Not sure he’s better than anything we currently have, also aware he was only on loan here but jumped to sign for a L1 outfit the second we dropped into the basement. Now they’ve gone down themselves, he may want to come on back? Has the same 18month record as Max Ehmer!

I would 110% take Luke back and he was and is the exact type of player Joey Barton signs! His work rate and closing down the opposition along with his very capable,technical skills is a no brainer for me. He was never going to drop to league 2 with us and he was still contracted to Chelsea at the time and I was surprised he chose AFC Wimbledon after Chelsea let him go but that was probably because it was a close London club and he didn't want to uproot? Hope we get him because he'd be perfect in a JB team!

Quality in one of the worst squads to play at the Mem.
Imagine what he would be like in Barton’s new squad.

Westbrooke going the other way rumoured? #UTG Would be almost as good as the Evo news! Hope this is not fake news 😂🙏

Westbrooke going the other way rumoured? #UTG By who? I mentioned it earlier in this thread but as a joke mainly (not suggesting this is the rumour). Would be a great bit of business for us. Tbf there is some logic in it for both Wimbledon and Zain too, they get a replacement guaranteed and Zain gets a fresh chance.

It would be back near his Brentford and Chelsea roots too so whilst it would cost us a bit to pay off the difference in wages, it certainly could be one that whilst mentioned as a joke in the first instance, is actually a very realistic shout!

Johnnie Jackson has no intention of selling McCormick and intends to build his side around him.
Very doubtful he’ll be making a return.

I think that's a ploy to talk up his price. I guess there's the question of whether or not we'd pay it, but if Luke wants to go I doubt they'll be able to stand in his way; as we have only too much previous experience of ourselves

Can't see us paying for him after missing our on signing for a free last year. Think there will be other free transfers available we'd be looking at really

Think Wael will push the boat out in pursuit of being among the Championship hopefuls at the end of the season, Evo apparently now the highest paid player to wear the shirt, on a 3 year deal, if Barton seriously want's Macca, i'm sure he will end up here. Interesting to see the top 100 wage earners on this list for league one in 2020 a few faces that were with us in the promotion squad last season, Evans, Thomas, whelan. salarysport.com/football/sky-bet-league-one/highest-paid/
