http://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/forum/56-transfer-forum/ There's a section there called Transfer Forum where they discuss the acquisition of Hammill, Mawson, Brownhill etc. Don't know about you but I find it offensive that a club of equal status might assume that they can pick up our players for next to nothing. I know that this could well happen, if they offer much more in wages, but the way their fans are going on it is as if we are now their feeder club because of the manager connection. Brownhill would not be a huge loss for me so they can take him, but not the rest. I just hope we get them at home first game of the season and thump them 5-0!
The ultimate flaw in the loan market is we are developing other teams players, and then watching em move on for no reward. But its a way of getting a better stranded of player on the cheap. It worked great this season, but I fear its very much a hit or miss way of doing things But as a club its a route we are on... so folk should get used to this short term, here today gone tomorrow stance we take. Next year they'll be a new bunch turning up... some will fit in some wont I suspect..
