McLoughlin Set to Join Wimbledon
Wednesday, 30th Jan 2019 14:14

TWTD understands AFC Wimbledon are closing in on the permanent signing of Blues youngster Shane McLoughlin. The 21-year-old Irishman is set to agree an 18-month deal with the League One club.

McLoughlin, who has been capped by the Republic of Ireland at U16 and U18 levels, joined the Blues academy at 16 and made his first-team debut in the Carabao Cup tie at Crystal Palace in August 2017, his only start for the club.

Primarily a central midfielder but having also operated wide, up front and as a full-back for the U23s, McLoughlin made his one and only Championship appearance as a sub in the 2-2 home draw with Middlesbrough in last season’s final home match, winning the Blues a penalty which was converted by Martyn Waghorn.

While at Portman Road, McLoughlin, who we understand had also interested Luton Town in recent months, also had two spells on loan with Vanarama National League Bromley.

"DON'T GET HIGH ON YOUR OWN SUPPLY!"

Elvira Hancock to Tony Montana in one of movie's most memorable quotes....
and subsequently a stalwart hmmm 'Rule of Thumb' :-) :-) among just about every SAVVY purveyor of intoxicants, from your coy neighborhood bootlegger to your 'Top of The World Ma' drug dealer!

Mind you the above-mentioned exact cliche & ol' work hazard is not remotely a 'problem' here at Marvelous Marcus's ITFC though! lol

Talking of course not of vile intoxicants in this here instance but rather of youthful footballers on the books, pure products of one's own academy or otherwise.... And it, i.e. "Getting high on your own supply", not being a problem here has absolutely nothing to do with SAVVINESS from either the clueless & tight-arsed owner or the predominantly conservative, ultra stubborn & largely undaring super duper managers appointed by said clueless & tight-arsed owner imho!!!

No genuine disrespect intended to the entire group of 'super duper household names' on the in essence never before more crucial Transfer Window haul -- but now after the fact -- just another ultra DISCOUNT SHELF ehhhh beyond-your-wildest-dreams fabulous fabulous "To save us from relegation" Transfer Window haul :-) :-).... Btw didn't £700+ mill net worth Eberneezer Evans allegedly outright promise his new manager a quote "10 mill treasure trunk for this exact salvation purpose"??? lol .....But alas with the exception of the surprisingly still-going-strong Mr. Collins, who many of your fellow fans **honestly **would not RATHER prefer to see the crop of this season particular strong group of "juveniles" (including the probably brightest talent among them all the apparently doghouse-residing Andre) out there on field, in NUMBERS???

I certainly would! As this implementation, of own players!, in all likelihood would make this whole gigantic rebuilding & bounce-back so much better & stabler, and ohhh last but not least so much much more interesting to watch & follow as a spectator even right here & now!
