Short, insecure career football Players should think twice about turning down offers of "promotion" (in terms of salary, progression etc) in favour of "waiting for a better deal" in my opinion. If he doesn't want to come to Barnsley, fair enough, I'm not going to lose sleep over it - but to hang on at Chesterfield for a few months in the hope of getting a signing on fee, and more wages elsewhere is risky to say the least, and (if that IS what he's doing) indicates a questionable attitude to me. Wages would seem to be a priority over playing, and playing at a higher level, for a team that wouldn't just stick him in the reserves.... but if that's what he wants to do fair enough.
