Nope......he wants a silly contract as he also thinks he is better than he actually is. He won't play again this season....

No doubt someone will meet his price, maybe a club who have just come into 100 grand?

Is he not very good then? His try scoring ration is pretty impressive

Think everyone sees his talent but let's say he wants the same contract as lineham after playing 4 games.....what would you do?

I heard he told Pearson he wanted £50k a season , I can imagine what Pearsons reply was to that .

amazing how people jump to conclusions , first watts to cas defo, then lineham wigan sorted, now lancaster rovers, kids going nowhere atm,

I think it was slightly more than that......if I was that age 20k with add ons while I'm learning a trade would do nicely

Your not playing for us again this season.......

I'd offer him an incentive based contract but I'm also a great man manger so he'd end up doing exactly what I wanted and feeling like he'd got what he wanted. I don't think the balling him out in front of his fellow players and criticising him in the press strategy would work in this instance

Is there enough room on the naughty step for him and crooks?

What's the thinking behind that strategy then? Is it a punishment?

Agreed.....think I was told he is a modern youth and over confident. He is just getting a reality check at the moment. I think it's hard for any club as you cannot let talent hold you to ransom. Ben crooks is the same....good player and a great first season but his defence has been found out and it needs to improve but he is still living on the memories of his first season IMO

maybe, just maybe he wants too much money for a kid with about 10 games experience. You would all be moaning if we miss out on someone if we couldn't fit them under the cap because we overpaid an inexperienced winger
