The latest deluded entry in Mikel Arteta's book of excuses https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cdek10j3rjeo

For any talk about reinvestment of Low money. I've heard the problem with signing Morley isn't because we don't have the cash, it's that the data bods don't want us to spend it on him.

I don't run a football club, but it is remarkable that someone with cash to spend, who has been vocal about getting us promoted, won't buy the player that most average fans see could be the difference in making it happen, because of numbers in Excel.

Then again, that was the rumour about why Fred didn't originally sign.... then after a few injuries, the arms were twisted. Who knows?

Sean Devine was bought permanently in May 1999. He was sold in December 2003. BWK!

I thought today's money was all crypto?

As somebody who predicted 10th (like everyone else) I'll take a playoff spot

Great statement of intent if we bring in a player of this (apparent) caliber. It is only January 8th, too!

If this means Joe Low is on his way out, he deserves our warmest thanks and well wishes. Not just for being such a brilliant defender, but he always comes across so well as a person - unsurprising for a Wycombe player, I know, but yet another we can be so proud to have seen in the quarters, and deserves a shot at the big time.

As for Kone, one area we perhaps do not compliment him enough in is how hard working he clearly is on the training ground and in the gym. We know he bulked up over the summer, but he also seems to have a laser focus when it comes to working on any weaknesses. I am not sure if anyone remembers, but there was a game early on this season where there was a bit of a consensus that Udoh had won the 9 shirt, and Kone was likely the #2 option. That now seems like three years ago, even though Udoh has been fantastic too!

£220,000 for Sean Devine

King Kone, meet King Krone

I may be naive in my thinking but MB saying he's not involved in player recruitment negotiations doesn't necessarily mean he hasn't been involved in the process of identifying potential targets.

I'd much rather our head coach focus on the players we have - tactics, line-ups, opposition analysis, training etc. - and leave contract negotiations to others.

Think this means it's pretty obvious Joe is on his way, 2 new center backs. If we don't think we can get Taylor back then I'd still be looking to go for the Exeter lad on loan if we can
