Half the forum is about speculating about stuff you dafty. Well clearly 9 hours is more than enough for your latest blinding insight. Speculation is fine, except that you weren't speculating, were you? You said "Smart clubs generally have more than one target lined up" - well, who knew. Clear implication that we are not smart, ergo another opportunity to moan about MM/the board/Latics in general with a new season still in its infancy. What a sad and miserable outlook you have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he should have been given game time too but do you think it would have made him change his mind about signing the contract we offered?

Can't blame the lad for taking a step up, if we bring outstanding prospects through then at fifth division level we will lose them and, frankly, there's sod all we can do about it Edited September 2 by Dave_Og 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard some entirely unsubstantiated chatter at the weekend that we might be... He's had a bit of interest from SPL teams, but wants to move closer to home, apparently.

There weren't any bids, large or small. He exercised his right to move under the compensation arrangements and there's nothing we could have done about it. Life's a bitch. I'd love to have seen him given a first team run. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d guess that he was being watched for some time and would have known it. His ability and performances would have earned him plenty of offers making ours pretty redundant and probably just procedure to trigger the compensation payment. The only relevant question when it comes to him is would playing him last season have improved our league position? Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't compensation it was a fee paid by Sheffield United, more than offered by rival bids. But the point stands he wasn't given first team exposure so we will never know who it would have attracted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
