    Rumour is we have rejected a bid from Wycombe for him

    What on earth has given you that opinion on him? We'd be stupid to welcome 'any' bid on him.

    Rather we keep than sell especially to a league one club. Hasn't been the same player since the Duff season though

    None of us can know how much the mystery illness took out of him. It looked like being captain affected his performances as well. It would be great if he came back this season and turned it on.

    For Luca, I think the captain thing might have affected him, as well as the more serious illness.
    But, I think we're making too many excuses here for him. :eek:

    So Dawsons reight then.
    If a decent offer comes in.
    Would be a good move for both player and club.

    After last season, there won't be many clubs interested to offer decent money. We should give the captaincy to Roberts and give Luca another season to recapture his best form.

    This is the best option in my opinion, if the captaincy is taken off him then hopefully he feels less pressure, can get back to enjoying his football and recapture that form we from him saw under Duff.

    Some couldn’t wait to jump on Luca last season and seemed to think Nwakali was much better. Give me Luca any day though, not scared to put a foot in and always gives his best. I’d be disappointed to see him go, hopefully if he stays he can get back to his best.

    I said this last year and it proved correct.
    You never saw Connell waving his arms dictating play to teammates. Too quiet.
    It did affect his game.

    We shouldn't give the captaincy to someone who shouldnt be a regular starter.

    Captains lead by example - Keillor-Dunn would be the obvious shout

    There’s a great player in there but sometimes you have to move to progress and it feels like that with Luca.

    Wycombe are a very ambitious Club and it would be a good move, and a step up, for him at this point in his career.

    I thought Luca was improving at the end of last season. For whatever reason, he thought he was the second coming of Neil Redfearn for the first half of it - and he doesn't have the shooting boots.

    Your best player should never be your captain.

    I would like us to keep him if we can. He`s a good player in a functioning team.
