I think the obvious outcome will be that Morley is recalled. Bolton will then put him on the transfer list and it will be a free for all to sign him. Other clubs will have noticed his performances for us and I can imagine there will be strong interest and higher bids to sign him. Birmingham?
I believe we’ll still secure promotion, whether or not Morley is part of the equation.
Bakinson and Butch both demonstrated more than enough quality alongside Scowen and Leahy.
Bakinson showed his ability to manage the pivot role effectively against Villa, and it’s easy to overlook just how good Butch is at this level. Let’s not forget how instrumental he was in turning around our form last season. On today's game that Cesay can fo a job...
Morley has a big say in this regardless. He’s a northern lad. He might feel better at home at Bolton and would be happy being a success there. So best outcome for him might be he returns home, rips it up in the Bolton first team and looks back fondly on his time here. Just because we love the Chairtropolis doesn’t mean he does. He joined Bolton with a vision of how he wanted his career to go and he still might want that.
Either way come January the 1st unless we can add the domain bwfc.co.uk to our spam filters there is gonna be an email asking for return of a player.
Hi guys, interesting discussion on Aaron so I thought a Bolton perspective may be useful. He’s obviously done really well for you and personally I think from what I’ve seen you’re the real deal this year and if you can keep everybody together in January and don’t get any serious long term injuries I think you’ll walk the automatics. There are no outstanding teams this year, including Birmingham other than yourselves so good luck to you.
As for us we’re bobbins this year, Evatt’s squeezed all the individuality out of our better players forced to fit in with his dire slowly slowly crap and when things go against us the players have no fight just throw the towel in as they did against Huddersfield and Stockport and even a 10 man Cambridge last Tuesday. Unfortunately we’re still around the play offs so as long as that’s the case Evatt’s safe sadly.
Theres no way Morley comes back here and plays because he just doesn’t suit Evatt’s style and hasn’t done for eighteen months which is why he was loaned out so it’s pretty much certain that either you buy him or someone else does. I think talks of £500k are way too high and probably £250-£300k seems more likely which to me would be a great piece of business for you. An initial fee may even be lower than that with add ons if you do get promoted but either way I expect him to be a Wycombe player permanently in January.
So good luck for the rest of the season and hopefully we’ll squeeze into the play offs again then take our chances there and who knows there might be a pair of Wanderers in the Championship next season? 😁
I think that Wing took the best option at the time. He has a family to support and like the majority of people that comes first. A one year extension at Wycombe where the purse strings are being tightened or 3 years on a better wage elsewhere. I not what I would do. Also, I don’t know how the players are limited to £1,500 a week as you wouldn’t sign a contract saying £3,000 a week however we’ll reduce to £1,500 if we can’t control the clubs finances. Fair play to him
No chance he went there for that although he may have thought he was going to QPR before Ainsworth found out he'd have no money and left himself with few choices. Think he sneaked in before it became clear how messed up they really were so maybe wasn't signed under all the more recent rules.
Agree with @PJS btw, Wing banging in free kicks and long shots was amazing when he was on a purple patch but he didn't contribute to the team play like Morely now does. No probs at all if he's on fire but I'd suggest that he wouldn't be at Reading still if he did that consistently .
Morley is absolutely integral to the way Wycombe play. It was the introduction of him and Humphries against Rotherham which turned the season. Morley dictates the tempo of the game. His weight of pass is phenomenal. Wycombe need to pull out all the stops to sign him as you're not going to get someone who can do what he does to the same level. First name on the team sheet for me he's that good.
I agree having read the post from @FarmerCee which outlines the way Morley has been treated by Evatt. I really can’t see Morley wanting to go back if that is the case.
The thing is with YouTube “premium”, it may stop the ads, but doesn’t stop them fingerprinting your browser and collecting obscene amounts of data about you and then flogging that to anyone grubby enough to buy it. Fuck YouTube and fuck Google, I encourage all of you to block as much of their shithousery as you possibly can.
I met a Rochdale fan at a Christmas do last night. Started chatting about football, and he told me that he was incredibly jealous that we have Morley - from his debut Rochdale fans knew he was a special player. His nickname up there was the Rochdale Pirlo (not as good as Morleydona in my eyes), and he described the way he played for them in exactly the same way as he plays for us - sitting in front of the back 4 and playing outrageous passes. Here’s hoping we keep him a little while longer
I'm sure I remember MB saying that we'd been tracking Morley for a while when we signed him. Perhaps there's an agreement to buy, who knows? All speculation. All that can be assumed is that Morley would not want to go back to Bolton if he is not in the team, so we have as much chance as anyone else of signing him as long as the fee isn't ridiculous.

On todays showing those two are certainly not a long term solution if we lose Morley.
We're not a one man team by any means, so if the worst happens and we do lose him, I'm sure Bloomy will find a good solution.
I keep coming back to this. Who'd have thought at the end of last season we'd sign more than able replacements for Freddie Potts?
I wonder if we’d consider Lewis Wing…
Nar he made his bed..... or his Mrs did anyway
No too inconsistent for me. Some great moments but too often out of the game. Sorry never one of my favourites
My Reading supporting mate is adamant they have no players on more than £1,500 a week.
Unless they're doing the money cleverly with huge sign on fees, huge bonuses etc, that does sound utterly implausible.
I bet lewis wing regrets leaving now but shows what greed does to you especially when you have a girlfriend like he has .

@glasshalfempty any curtains would be a start. Your neighbours are sick of seeing your pale bottom every morning

or 3 - Wolves as well

I did wonder why people keep suggesting a fee of 500k for Morley.
I think someone made it up and everyone keeps repeating it as if it'll be the fee
No chance he went there for that although he may have thought he was going to QPR before Ainsworth found out he'd have no money and left himself with few choices. Think he sneaked in before it became clear how messed up they really were so maybe wasn't signed under all the more recent rules.

I hope the situation with Morley can get resolved quickly as my brain struggles when I open an article which starts with something like
"Aaron Morley's Wanderers future ..."
as I can't work out if they are referring to BWFC or WWFC.

His weight of pass is phenomenal. Wycombe need to pull out all the stops to sign him as you're not going to get someone who can do what he does to the same level.

Completely agree
We'll buy him. People need to have a bit more faith.
I agree having read the post from @FarmerCee which outlines the way Morley has been treated by Evatt. I really can’t see Morley wanting to go back if that is the case.
What doesn't make sense, is if Evatt plays such a slowly slowly style, surely a ball playing mid like Morley would be ideal?

Theyve picked up on my lad being sick and are advertising life insurance and private health care. Also a big increase in gambling ads
Its disgusting.
That’s horrible @Lloyd2084

Morley Döner will be the name of the kebab van he'll run when he's retired from playing.
Aarondona surely?
