Quote: Cruncher "Same with Shaun Ainscough. Hell ... same with Mark Cannon. Anyone remember him? We replaced him with Brett Kenny, and quite unbelievably, some people complained about that.'"
You are trying to compare apples with oranges and tailoring an example to suit your arguement and the example has no relevance.
The only players I can compare is a ready made Toby King, to an up and coming Sam Halsall.
Halsall on less money, Wigan lad, can be spelled with Thornley, killed it in the reserves this season.
Nothing against King, but losing Sam Halsall in order to get a player on loan for a year does not make sense.
It has been mentioned about not keeping every prospect, we have to let some go. Well we have lost some future first team players in Nicolson, McDonnell, Halsall and Bibby. Add to that Harry Rushton.
I just hope we keep hold of Nsemba and Forber otherwise we may aswell scrap the academy.
