The Poolie Bunker

Milton Keynes Dons have agreed to place striker Izale McLeod on the transfer list.

McLeod bagged an impressive 24 goals for The Dons last season and has taken the decision to move on over the summer.

The 22-year-old has been linked with a number of clubs in the higher divisions previously and is likely to attract further interest in the coming weeks.

McLeod, an England Under 21 international, has decided to leave the club to further his international aspirations.

The League Two Player of the Year rejected the offer of a new long-term contract with The Dons, who will now listen to offers for McLeod.

"It is no secret how highly we value Izale but we are now prepared to listen to serious offers," chairman Pete Winkelman told the club's official website.

"We have decided to take this course of action now so that the new manager can be clear what playing resources will be available to him from the current squad so that he may plan accordingly.

"Izale believes that playing in League Two is having a detrimental effect on his chances of continuing his England career and, as everyone knows, it is the club's policy not to hinder any player's opportunity to progress."

Errrr what England career?

He'll get found out very quickly in better company. For instance his record against us starts at mediocre and spirals slowly downwards.
