Semi Ajayi keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” AFC Wimbledon may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Yonghyun Park has said yes to Lokomotiv Sofia

AFC Wimbledon rebuffed over Max Davies
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Blackburn Rovers have kept their man, and AFC Wimbledon go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
