There are not many teams want to let a top and proven goal scorer go and we cannot go and bung in a player on an inflated wage because of the long term effect on the rest of the team.
It is easier said than done, and I think a loanee might be the answer.
Done alright for Gloucester and Fylde...
I don't get the Gloucester reference, but we don't have the money/wage structure to start paying Fylde type wages.
Gloucester bought Chester's top scorer. Fylde took our main striker. Keep up.
We're getting 2300 through the gate in cash from the government. We've got Hulmes cash.
Obviously knew the Fylde reference, but thank you for the Gloucs one.
It is not just a case of a transfer fee - I agree we have a certain amount of money for that - but the issue arises with someone coming into the changing room on a higher wage, and this would have been a problem with Hulme had we offered him the money he was to get at Fylde
Laurence Looney explained this to us a couple of weeks ago; if you suddenly have a player bought in panic on twice the wage of anyone else in the squad you immediately have problems.
AND...what club wants to let a proven goalscorer go?
We will need either a loanee from a higher club or an enthusiastic , but unproven, young prospect from a smaller club.
