We all know that Ryan could be playing levels above this but at 28 he's perhaps not the young, burgeoning talent that is desperate to climb the footballing pyramid. I don't know him, I could be wrong, but I don't get the sense of a player who wants to leave. He was electric on Boxing Day and looks as committed to Alty as he ever has. So, if we were to sell, I am sure it would be because a club has gone way over our valuation for him, rather than him wanting to leave. He is in his prime as a footballer right now though and would be fully deserving of a gig in the Football League.
Oldham, playing Unsworthball, makes no sense.
Their fans' comments reek of the age-old, new-to-the-level big club entitlement that we've seen countless times over the years. They see no reason why a player wouldn't want to move to a massive club when they're playing for a pub team like us. But we're not as ripe for the picking as we used to be, players have plenty of reason to stick around here now. Chesterfield fans were adamant they'd signed Mullarkey in the summer. Southend's were adamant they'd signed Colclough, too. Both were saying it was a completely done deal when they were far from it.
I think it's more likely that he sees out his contract here and uses his free agency to negotiate a huge League deal in the summer. He won't be short of suitors and I'd imagine his agent will see that as something they can use to their advantage.
Just speculating.
