It’s down to wages, simples, most players now in the lower league move for near nothing it’s all about what can I make a week.
It’s nearly broken us high wages on a few occasions so I agree with get the dead wood out and bring in less money players.
The bit I don’t get is, some of these loanees (not all) ain’t cheap to loan plus some have clauses in the loan deal appearances etc.
Plus, a fair few players we got on loan and a couple we signed have zero experience in league football. They’ve come straight from playing U21 football.
So if someone at Latics can explain to me why Stones and Payne were loaned out while we paid (no doubt decent dollars) to bring in young inexperienced players basically giving them the experience these young lads need I’d be all ears.
If we’re to become self sufficient then we need the nurture our own and slowly wean them in. The Stones saga is Maloney dummy spitting.
Always remember it was Toure who gave Hughes a chance. If it was left to Maloney I’m positive he’d have been stuck out on loan and would be still here back n forth on loan.
You see, Maloney’s been stitched up thinking once all the big earners have gone he’ll have a budget to bring in a few journeymen in, that hasn’t happened.
Is Stones good enough? I truly don’t know but if he’s asked to be a headless chicken like Taylors been asked the Stones is better off leaving.
Rumour has it he wants a permanent move to Oldham and given the opportunities Maloney’s given him I don’t f**kin blame him I’d do the same.
