Re: Random sightings of our players outside of football
Jermaine McSporran was sat in the row in front of me at an England game at Wembley in 2007 (few years after he left us).
Spoke to him at halftime, and was lovely to see his reaction when I told him he was my favourite player when he played for us!
Re: Rumour Mill
Call me a dreamer, but I like to imagine Lomtadze huddled in front of a screen in his bunker in Astana watching Wanderers TV every week - leaping for joy when the winner went in on Tuesday and swearing on everything he owns that Kone is never for sale.

Re: Caleb Taylor returns until end of season..... Discuss
Dropping Sonny Bradley would be quite a call wouldn't it? Wouldn't wanna be Sam Grace!
Re: Random sightings of our players outside of football
I saw El-Abd walking along the slip road by the sports centre hours before his transfer out.
I see a pattern emerging here.
I’m staying home until deadline day in case I bump into Kone.
Re: Other Football
You can tell there is an undertone of trepidation about playing us twice in the Champo next season!

Re: Rumour Mill
I am genuinely not the slightest bit worried about Kone, especially after the comments from he and Sam Grace after Barnsley.

It's terrible I know...but when I see band names like that...I just think Tw*ts.
Re: Rumour Mill
Luton are reported to have agreed a deal of £1.5M for Alli from Exeter so maybe they have got the message at long last.
Re: Rumour Mill
That offer suggests a level of desperation from Luton who I suspect have put all of their eggs in the Kone basket.
For Wycombe - it’s clearly not just a case of being £7m richer (and actually £4m as has been noted), but also how much this would derail our promotion push and therefore negatively impact our financials in the long term.
Promotion is worth more than the possible £7m we’d get for Kone, so I can’t really see a world where we accept that offer (unless of course we’ve been spending the Kone money during Jan, but again I can’t see that as we’d have made an effort to replace him).
Ultimately I don’t take this personally with Matt - football is a business and his loyalties ended with us when he moved on. It’s also highly unlikely he’s the one making the calls to Dan (although I’d love to be a fly on the wall if he was).
