Just wondering, would we be interested in someone like Charlie Savage? Whenever I've seen him play, I think he could push on and go places away from Reading?
Just a question, I've not heard anything and it def isn't a rumor
He's definitely worth more than that. Wouldn't sell for less than 7 figures in the modern market unless there are some very big additional clauses added on like appearances/international caps/sell-on fees. Wycombe are not in a position where they need to sell and hold all the cards in negotiations.
I think his contract probably runs out in the summer. If he doesn’t want to sign a new on he could be going, hopefully for seven figures but 750k plus good add ons must be close to his valuation
If Low is out of contract in the summer, we're not going to sell now. Even if he is, we don't need to sell. Unless he really pushes for the move, I think we'll be ok. We're in a strong position with this one either way.
Just the kind of player we need. I think we desperately need a second choice central striker to Kone. I don’t think Hanlan or Udoh are suited to the centre forward role.
There Is a real danger that with the departures of Morley, Taylor and potentially Low all momentum will go out of our promotion push. They have been significant contributors to our rise to the top. Clearly lots of rumours about who may come in but we need them early in this month to bed in and get up and running quickly. We’ve got some big games in January , nearly all at home , which could be vital in maintaining our automatic promotion as opposed to play off hopes.
Absolutely. If the squad takes too long to come together and gel, we'll be playing catch up sooner than we think. Avoiding defeat against Huddersfield and Barnsley would be a start.
We just have to deal with the changes as best we can. I am sure Matt and Dan will bring in suitable replacements. What we don’t want to do is panic and bring in sub standard replacements for the lads who have left us.
If he’s out of contract and won’t sign a new one, cashing in for 750k seems a smart move to me - especially if they think they can get a replacement through the door as well. As a fan I’d be gutted to lose him but rationally taking 750k for a player we would lose for free in 6 months seems like the smart business decision, and these guys seem to make rational, business decisions
Offer him a new lucrative deal and the captaincy and get him to buy into the Wycombe dream of Championship next season and building for future success.

What happened to the talk about Dan Crowley? Not sure I'd seen this anywhere other than this thread?
Alan Nixon in today's Sun says that Preston want Joe Low for around £750,000 and Wycombe preparing for the sale by trying to sign Lloyd Jones.

If his contract is out in the summer then 750k seems decent money for him, depending on how much of that goes to Bristol City
We’re losing Joe Low and Richard Kone in this window too aren’t we? You can just feel the momentum growing.
We are not losing Richard Kone, no
Apparently we are lining up a bid for Wimbledon’s Matt Stevens
That'll be the biggest loss if that happens

Interesting - where's this one rumoured?
Oh dear. Oh deary dear.

Maybe we should just raid Reading for Tyler Bindon, Sam Smith and Harvey Knibbs?
It's going to be an extremely busy month, isn't it? Weird mix of excitement and serious apprehension.

Sounds like he’s going then. A bit of a defeatist and retaliatory quote from NJ.

That's true, I just don't think any sensible club is going to pay when they could sign a PCA with him now
Low will be under 24 in the summer so compensation would be due. Unless he moves to Scotland etc
So can he not sign a PCA? The compensation ought to be less than the rumoured fee now, no?
Offer him a new lucrative deal and the captaincy and get him to buy into the Wycombe dream of Championship next season and building for future success.
I thought you couldn’t sign a PCA with a team from the same country (so TAA could sign one with Real Madrid but couldn’t sign one with Wycombe)
I thought it was the same league, but you might be right. That would make more sense!
https://blackstonesolicitorsltd.co.uk/category/blog/football-pre-contract/ this says it is based on country of residence, so should be okay (unless he signs one with Swansea? Would that be allowed?)
someone was saying Bolton value Morley at 2.2million hahah
