I’d have thought it pretty obvious isn’t it? Any opening bid we would want to put in for Aaron would have been rejected out of hand, unless Bolton really have lost the plot. They know the club want him. They know the fans love him. The player himself may relish coming here. They have a long(ish) contract on the player. They hold all the cards.
We bid a 100k loan extension, its rejected but starts the conversation there.
We put a bid in for 500k, it’s rejected but it starts the conversation there and they know we are willing to throw money around to get a player.
And as a Brucie bonus, Every other player we linked with has their value bounced up 20%.
I think most here were holding out a hope that we were in the midst of a game of brinkmanship and a deal would be reached for a permanent fee whilst Morley sat on the Bolton bench in a state of limbo for a week or two. With Morley straight into their Starting XI, I'd imagine that any hope of a genuine negotiation is dead. Either we pay what Bolton want, or there's no deal.
He might have a stinker, hauled off by Evatt before at half time and spend the 2nd half waving one of the new Wycombe flags recently made while singing John Denvers "take me home, country road".
Believe. But I'm not sure which one of those is the most unlikely.
He's going to get a last minute winner, slide off to the corner flag tapping the badge, isn't he?
The year is 3042. Bolton has been renamed 'Morley City' because of the stellar career Aaron Morley had, taking the Whites to the top flight a couple of years behind Wycombe. The Morley family now have a Bolton legacy going back centuries, with 724 of Aaron's descendants playing for the club since the initial Morley. Hoverboards have finally been invented.
And Wycombe fans are still hopeful of Aaron Morley coming back to the Chairboys, speculating that he may have been cyrogenically frozen in 2035 so that he could someday come back to Adams Park.
I wouldn’t bother with Twitter Jonny, just morons on there and we all have them. To be fair Evatt as usual makes things difficult dropping Matete who’s been our best midfielder recently to accommodate Morley as the deep lying midfielder when we all know he’s far better further forward. For 80 minutes he was anonymous until Evatt brings on said Matete and moves Aaron forward where he can influence games, which of course he did. To be fair his goal was a little fortunate but we won’t complain other than we thought a defeat might finally put us out of our misery and be the end of Evatt but that buggers got more bloody lives than a cat. I don’t know where that leaves us with Morley now because your guys don’t seem to be inclined to get the cheque book out but if he keeps doing well Evatt might just have to accept he has to stay and has to play. I still think the balls entirely in your court and I’d be amazed if negotiations weren’t still going on.

Yes, it’s a Bolton Wanderers fan advocating the murder of Ian Evatt. It’s difficult to comprehend.
No doubt the sort of clown who would say it's "just banter" if pulled up on it.
Clearly not fully stocked in the braincell department if he's posting that under, presumably, his real name

Morley starts for Bolton. I'm starting to give up on this one sadly.
Could yet happen. Would be a bit weird for Bolton not to use one of the best midfielders in the league while they can.
Bugger.
Wow. It takes a lot to.convince you if you were still holding out hope@Brownie

I think a depleted Bolton midfield and the chance to stiff the league leaders was key.
A manager dim enough to send a quality player out for 6months is certainly dim enough not to use him immediately.
So it is a bit of a surprise. Especially for the sort of manager who you could imagine refusing to admit he was wrong under any circumstances.
Not sure I’m glad we’ve been financially responsible or frustrated we haven’t done whatever we needed to bring him back.
I guess I’ll know at 5pm.
There's a month to go yet, lads. Keep the faith!

Morely subbed plus Bolton lose likely equals Evatt sacked.
This has made me feel sick
Happy for Aaron, sad for Wycombe. Will be interesting to see how he gets on there, Exeter must be sick of the sight of him.
Exeter 1 up
1 1
Morley puts B olton 2-1 up.
Scores in time added to put Trotters ahead - couldn’t make it up!
How did he celebrate?!
2 1 , some guy called Morley
openly wept

Well it's come true!
Both right at the death too.
Reading a few comments from Bolton’s Twitter, even after scoring the winner a few fans were still annoyed at his celebration for us.
What a sad fanbase

I think there's very little chance we sign Morley. Spending big money on transfers isn't what the project is all about.
