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).
Re: Random sightings of our players outside of football
Years ago (between 1998 and 2002) I was working in Homebase Loudwater. (With the legendary Jamie "Beanhead" Redding for those who remember him). We had a massive delivery of promotional furniture and it was Mo Harkin unloading the lorry.
Re: Rumour Mill
Do we actually think that MB is making these offers? Is it not Mick Harford? MB has prob given him / Luton a transfer wish list but I don't think he'd be making the actual call
Re: Rumour Mill
He'll go for £10m up front in the summer if he continues on his current trajectory. We've reportedly already told Luton to get stuffed anyway.
Re: Rumour Mill
It's not £7m. It's £4m with conditional extras that may go up to £7m. It's hardly anymore than the last offer which was rejected. I'd expect this to be turned down too - we could make even more money off him in the Summer.
Re: Rumour Mill
I’m not naive and know that every player has his price, but Dan Rice made a significant comment when discussing the return of Caleb Taylor: ‘We remain fully committed to keeping this squad as strong as it could possibly be.’ A hint that Kone won’t be going anywhere in this window? We shall wait and see.
