So that's now us , Stevenage, Rotherham (running out of ex Steve Evans stalwarts to sign) and Reading without a deal so far.
Aren't Reading under an embargo ? Or can only sign someone if someone else leaves.
Yes, an embargo. In the summer window they only signed Chem Campbell on loan. That was only allowed as they sold Azeez to Millwall and were short of squad players. They have now given debuts to a number of kids so the EFL view their squad as complete I believe and may not even allow them to renew the Chem Campbell loan. Unless their fortunes change or their squad shrinks through sales they will be unlikely to sign anyone.

It is a shootout between us and Stevenage.
Readings owner absolutely hates them and it's extremely unlikely they'll sign any players.
Stevenages owner isn't particularly wealthy for this league so I can't see them splashing the cash. I suspect their owner is happy with where they are when you consider their recent history. Floating around mid-table is fantastic for Stevenage.

The player who joined Rotherham on loan?
Oops my bad, I read it as Reading had signed him on loan. As you were …..

At Rotherham mate. I'd be surprised if Reading sign anyone based on what their fans told me at our place. Apparently it's really bad. It's crazy they're 7th tbh. Makes a bit of a mockery to the league.

I doubt they'll stay there, but then again I said that last season and earlier this season. I mean some of it is they were relegated two years ago and still have some players from those teams, though fewer and fewer now. They just lots their really good manager who got a lot out of them, but Hunt has done well so far.

Most of it is that they have a fantastic academy that is churning out quality kids who are filling in well (Garcia, Akande, Wareing) and generating cash to keep the club going (Abbey, Holmes, Vickers) In addition their transfer business in L1 has been superb (Bindon, Knibbs, Smith, Wing, Pereira and Savage all on frees for examples). If we can't get any of their players then we could look at their scouts/person in charge of transfers.
Pereira (keeper) out of contract in the summer so I suspect Reading will be desperate to move him on for a bit of cash now.

O’Rourke saying Luton have made a £6m bid for Kone. At what point does it become stupid for Wycombe to turn it down?
I think you take the £6m. Even with their new owners wealth that's enough money to do a lot with. Replacing him will be difficult though.
Getting to the point in the window where you’ll be taken for a ride by anyone for a replacement. Goals are the hardest thing to buy in January as it is

Oh absolutely it's a dangerous game to play. They looked very limited without him against us. I think they'd be taken for a ride anyway regardless of the window if people knew they had £6m.

It really depends on whether Kone wants the move or not.
Are Luton that attractive a proposition at the moment? Yes it's his old manager, but they're in a relegation dogfight.

Doesnt help that Kone doesnt know who the new Wycombe Manager could be either - If they get the right man in, they could be in the Championship next season with Luton in League One.
If Wycombe get the wrong Manager, he could be in League One regardless, with Wycombe fighting off relegation.

If he can get back to the player he was when he broke through at Derby that's a very good move. Has gone off the boil since.
I think they're limited to frees and loans only if I recall.

Birmingham sign attacking Midfielder Kieran Dowell on loan from Rangers.
Maybe hold fire on the Ahadme to Cambridge on loan ideas. Looks like they're bringing in Dom Ballard from Southampton on loan.
