Best Of

*importance. I've been reading the BFP too much...

As I walked to the match a car drove past to park in the top car park and the smell of weed was incredible. I'm sure the driver was completely straight though, officer. As I work in that London, the number of people of all sorts who walk past reeking of soft drugs is quite alarming for a chap of my vintage. It's the way it it nowadays I suppose...

It's been seven hours and 15 days

Since Bolton took you away

I go out every night and sleep all day

Since they took your central midfield capabilities away

Since you been gone, I can do whatever I want

I can sign whomever I choose

I can play Sir Josh at the 4 and Bakinson at the 8

But nothing

I said nothing can improve these blues

'Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares to you, Aaron

Evatt’s announcement confirms that Wycombe will be signing Aaron Morley permanently for a club record fee in January and we will be a joint club record 21 league games unbeaten when this happens. Merry Christmas mate!

Are you saying he should have grassed them up?

They arent premier league any more, a couple of hundred grand for a player who wants out isn't to be sniffed at. I'd imagine we have a plan B though. We never thought we'd get him and there must be other players chomping at the bit to get away from clubs, being up the top helps with that.

I am a huge fan of Morley but to suggest that our season will fall apart if he goes back to Bolton is nonsense. Josh Scowen is the best player in our squad in my opinion and we have done pretty well during his recent absence. No player is irreplaceable.

It is possible to acknowledge a player's importantance and state that they're replaceable. Most players are, even more so with the advancements in data-led recruitment. I want to get Morley permanently, but we're not going to descend into oblivion without him.

Does anyone honestly think we'll wave him off back to Bolton and not bring in a replacement?

As I’ve reiterated a few times this season, Morley is our most important player. Not our best, although he’s not far off the best either. He’s so vital to our playing style. Bakinson’s attributes are not comparable. Butcher’s are not comparable. Nobody in the squad has comparable attributes. I suspect we either pay up or we bring in Arthur Read from Col U or we bring back Lewis Wing or we bring in a loanee. Perhaps a combination of all these options.

Even without "should haves" that is 12 points in 6 games, or 2 points per game, or 92 over the course of a season!
