If Aaron Morley scores against us at Wembley, I would roll my eyes unless he did anything but celebrate like a madman.
In fact, I think players should get yellow cards for refusing to celebrate. It is such a sanctimonious downer for the fans of the actual club paying said player's wages.
Sounds a bit like an ultimatum to up the bid, I can't believe they are letting us keep him for one last game out of choice and kindness, clubs tend to crap themselves over potential injuries in those scenarios. I'm taking it as a positive. Can even see him going back for a week or two and coming back.
Don’t think it makes any difference. Bolton can recall him and he can play tomorrow if they want. It’s just the other way. You can’t sign players in time to play tomorrow.
Bolton fans will have to wait a few more days for Aaron Morley, however, with the club confirming that recall rules mean the paperwork to bring him back from Wycombe can only be submitted at the start of the window.
Ian Evatt confirmed: “Aaron will be coming back but we have to wait until January 1 to call him back so he won’t be available for tomorrow. He will be available for Saturday at Exeter City.”
Coincidentally, Morley will be able to play a final game for Wycombe against Exeter on New Year’s Day before re-joining his Bolton team-mates.
Wycombe’s offer to take him back on loan with an up-front payment of more than £100,000 has been turned down, with Wanderers indicating they are only considering a permanent move at this point.
Another thing that’s moved the dial for IE today is that we’ve had news that Kyle Dempsey has had a relapse in his injury comeback and will now be out for the season. With Sheehan also out it leaves us with only Matete and Thomason in midfield so it’s likely Morley will go straight back into the squad if you don’t confirm a permanent move. Evatt’s trying to sign another midfielder but that may take time and would probably be more defensive than in Morley’s place so any thoughts he won’t get game time back at the Reebok may be wide of the mark?
Ian Evatt gets sacked after the next game (won't happen, but I don't like him).
Morley helps Bolton win the playoffs, scoring the winner at Wembley and unveiling a t-shirt that says 'Wanderers Nation' with a swan shaking hands with a...trotter?
Morley has just reposted the Wycombe 2024 highlights with our blue / green love hearts for home and away kit. And he’s also posted a video of himself at Windsor Castle. Think that means he plays tomorrow.
I’d be happy with all those shev but like you I don’t think Evatt’s going anywhere, like him or not. I’m still hoping that your owners will come up with a deal on Aaron for the lads sake but due to EFL financial restrictions that’s perhaps not as easy as some of us may think so it’s more likely he’ll be back with us for 2025. Good luck anyway, tough game for Wrexham at a revitalised Barnsley tomorrow so chance for you to make ground again and if necessary for Aaron to sign off in style. 👍
Last minute winner. Top of the league. Points to the badge. Looks close to tears as the players shove him to the fans adulation. Aaron Morley. Thank you very much Bolton arrogance
We'll sign him. It's an absolute no-brainer. I get not wanting to give the impression that we can be bullied into paying whatever amount, but we'll bite eventually.

Apparently there is a 24 hour notice on a recall

drat! Hopefully, he'll go into the record books as scoring two hat tricks against the same team within three days.

He'll be ours for good soon
I'm sure you are correct, but they could have served that recall notice last week to come into effect on 1st Jan.
Maybe Bolton hope Morley playing against Exeter tomorrow somehow benefits them for their game on Saturday?
I think it’s because January 1 is a bank holiday.
It will be correct. Marc Iles is never wrong.
Or their fax machine is out of order!!

The only reason Morley hasn’t been recalled is because talks on his permanent signing are at such an advanced stage.
This article suggests otherwise

Would suggest that the rule has changed from last year then.
Are we going to start a new thread when he actually signs for us?
A little more here from Marc Iles…

100k sounds quite high for a mere loan fee doesn't it!?
Bolton must be asking a pretty high wodge, as you wouldn't offer 100k for a loan if the fee was say 300-400k would you?
They can’t be that bothered about him, they couldn’t even spell his name correctly.
It will actually be a physical commemorative scroll, stained with tears of joy.

If we lose Morley, here is the ideal scenario:
Morley has just reposted the Wycombe 2024 highlights with our blue / green love hearts for home and away kit. And he’s also posted a video of himself at Windsor Castle. Think that means he plays tomorrow.
He’s allowed to play tomorrow, regardless. I guess Saturday will be the tell tail or a big applaud from him to the crowd.
Don’t forget that we have till the end of January to sign new players.
Good point.

They’re not alone in that respect. But you’d expect his own club to get it right.

Seems like thank you and goodbye for now, really hope something can be sorted. Get firing balls into the car park in Bolton training.

There seemed little scope for a different interpretation of the recall of Aaron Morley to Bolton, as announced at the final whistle.
Good luck Aaron and thanks for everything
