Potentially but based on other dealings i'd say more likely Wigan or Ipswich.EpsomAddick said:

I would have thought going from Wimbledon to Ipswich is considered a big move.RonnieMoore said:
There still a lot of players that are holding out for the “big move “ but soon like Pigott reality will kick inthenewbie said:
Honestly.... I'm not actually that fussed right now. The confirmation that we are definitely looking at players is fine by me, it's refreshing to have a professional enough team that we are keeping everything behind closed doors.TheAddicks4Ever said:Adkins talking to London press said we are bringing in more players - wonder who we are talking to ?
But Wimbledon to Ipswich is a big move.7 -

Well they've got people 'ready to come in' so I would suggest the move will happen. Just a matter of who blinks first.0

Fraser is definitely going then.1

Moans about clubs have seven - eight weeks to get things done before pre-season... I presume MK Dons are done with the transfer market then?EpsomAddick said:

Not saying he didn’t, just wondering if that’s all we’re going on. It was a while ago now so clearly Wigan’s move for Fraser hasn’t been as straightforward as their moves for the others were.Todds_right_hook said:

Given we’re so quiet and aren’t letting much leak can we assume it wasn’t us? Players like Fraser will have interest from multiple clubs. There could be truth in those tweets but it doesn’t mean other clubs aren’t also trying to sign him.0 -
I’m not in panic mode, but have the top 2 places already gone too Ipswich and Wigan, given their transfer dealings so far?0

I don't think that's the case here, he has played over age and for England and is only just 18 🤔🤔Athletico Charlton said:Cafc43v3r said:
Couldn't a club with a CAT1 academy sign him under the EPP nonsense?RedPlumstead said:
I think he is highly rated at Millwall apparently just lacks a bit with final ball. SLP article said compensation payment too strong for Pompey!Cafc43v3r said:Anyone know anything about Abdul Abdulmalik and how much Millwall would be due in compensation?
To go from being wanted by Arsenal to Portsmouth not pursuing a deal after him being there, I can only assume its wages/fee plus guarantee of first team football? Else he would have stayed at Millwall?
Seems a strange one.
Or a Scottish club for next to nothing? Does he want first team wages and place? Unless Portsmouth thought he would be good enough for their first team I can't see why a) he would even go on trial b) why he would leave Millwall for Pompey.
Like I said its strange.
I know nothing about it or him but isn't it just his Agent spouting bollox about big clubs being interested, probably nothing in the links. Depending on his age Millwall maybe looking for him to simply plug a gap in their U23s much like we do with any number of players, without any expectation of him making it and so offering very low wages and he is hunting around for other offers and failing to find them?
Didn't know that. If he is that good and from South London I assume then I can only guess it is because he is desperate for Charlton to come calling and sign him up. 😃1 -

Man City didn't even win the league the season after their huge spending. It took them time to build a synergy and not just bang the goals in and concede more.Mendonca In Asdas said:I’m not in panic mode, but have the top 2 places already gone too Ipswich and Wigan, given their transfer dealings so far?
The Top 2 places for spending have definitely gone to Ipswich and Wigan.2 -

Na, not sure about Wigan at all, their signings haven't been top tier for this league imo, mid table to top6 region. Plus I am not sure on Leam Richardson as their manager.Mendonca In Asdas said:I’m not in panic mode, but have the top 2 places already gone too Ipswich and Wigan, given their transfer dealings so far?
Ipswich however I expect top6 minimum. Good manager in Cook who will get it right and made some right good signings, in particular Vaclav Hladky, Joe Pigott & Wes Burns. Apparently Rekeem Harper is quite good too.
As it stands right now based on managers, squads and club wealth etc, I am predicting the top6 in no particular order something like: Charlton, Ipswich, Wycombe, Sunderland, Rotherham & the last spot between Pompey, Oxford and then I like the look of Wigan, Bolton and maybe a surprise like Cheltenham.
On the subject of Scott Fraser I doubt it's us but I hope we go for it, sounds like they will sell and it will be end up being relatively cheap I imagine as well2 -
Let us just look back to Fulham in their 18/19 window.Mendonca In Asdas said:I’m not in panic mode, but have the top 2 places already gone too Ipswich and Wigan, given their transfer dealings so far?
Transfers in £104.85m
Transfers out £4.83m
They spent £100m and got relegated and in the next window spent another £33m in the 19/20 window and still failed to get promoted.
They failed in the play offs, spending big can be successful, but tends to need a good manager to make it work.

It doesn't necessarily equal success if you're talking in PL terms. For example Man U could spend 100m but when you have City and Chelsea spending 150m it might not get United very far.Swisdom said:

The Top 2 places for spending have definitely gone to Ipswich and Wigan.
But i'd say there's a strong chance that a side spending big sums on their squad in league one will have a good chance of promotion. Especially when a large proportion of the division is struggling financially post-covid.7 -
What’s all the worry about Wigan they just avoided relegation got rid of most of their playing staff and have yet to replace them, the players brought in , would not want any at Charlton if honest most of them are on the way down in careers, and a desperate move for Wyke based on one good season to please their fans Stephen Humphrys . is a decent signing but would you swap Stockley for him ?Mendonca In Asdas said:I’m not in panic mode, but have the top 2 places already gone too Ipswich and Wigan, given their transfer dealings so far?At the moment Wigan are mid table they still got a lot of work to do to get their squad numbers up6 -
Spending is the single biggest predictor of success. It isn’t a guarantee and there are other factors, but no question it gives you the biggest chance.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Wigan have signed 9, released 8. That's a very solid spine by league 1 standards.
If, and it's a big if, they get their loans right they will be right up there. You could also say that about half the divison at the moment.
I wouldn't have Wyke over Stockley but I would have Humphrys over N.O.One who we currently have.
The proof of the pudding will be in the eating and I am confident we will be more than competitive this season. But as it stands Wigan look a good bet, but no leagues are ever won 4 weeks before they start. Well maybe Scotland 😝😝2 -
Lincoln did quite well last season and I don't think that they spent much on transfers0
-
They didn't spend much in fees but they signed 27 players over the course of the season.lancashire lad said:Lincoln did quite well last season and I don't think that they spent much on transfers0 -
I think we can send out a competitive side at the moment. Is the squad stronger than last season's? No it isn't but the club has said recruitment hasn't finished so it can be. We have to look at what that recruitment is and make our judgments from there.0

Doubt it. Simon Jordan tore him a new on last year when he had to explain profit and loss, gross and net profit. Live!!😂Mendonca In Asdas said:I bet MS will be trawling through that with a tooth comb.0
