Best Of

Unless it is Blooms to West Brom! And no, I am not going to start a thread.

Good point well made.

I do think PL loanees are a better bet for staying the season, like Potts, because if they are being loaned out to L1 they are certainly not seen as ready for the PL! The idea that a fellow L1 club would let us keep a fantastic player all season is a nice one, but was never perhaps realistic.

Can we just take a moment to applaud all the L1 clubs who have managed to eke out a win here and there without Morley in their teams?

Not clever enough to do the survey thing but do we prefer loanees who are good at the footballing, give us half a season of quality only for our hearts to be broken when their parent clubs call them back (so there's no point playing them for the last few games) or run of the mill ones their original managers forget all about that we can keep for all season and save us all the fretting in January?

(This must be the first season we've had THREE loanees that we think are integral to our first team? Another reason to trust the management team I reckon.)

Carlos Corberan (West Brom manager) is set for the Valencia job. Let's hope their next manager doesn't fancy another look at Caleb Taylor.

Genius

Good to read the various points made and I think it’s pretty clear that for both clubs the ideal would be for AM to sign for you for an acceptable fee. What that fee is I don’t know but I would expect £500k to be very much top side. I’d expect around £300k but perhaps with add ons if you do get promoted but since we’re all guessing we don’t really know. What could change things from our side though is that there is speculation that Josh Sheehan may be sold and it’s Sheehan who was competing for Morley’s place so if he did go Morley would potentially come straight back into our first team as the playmaker again. He seems to have recovered his form in that department since he’s been with you as Evatt acknowledges so that could change things. From what’s been written though the balls still very much in your court, he’s available if the price discussed is agreeable and if not we keep him so there’s a clear decision for your side to make.

I never suspected that being at the top of the table would be so divisive and nerve-wracking.

Beautiful.

But we might lose Taylor too
