Warrington apparently have a quota spot left so at least if they're looking for a centre they will likely go Lafai or Macdonald, so hopefully they're sniffing around different players to ourselves.

[quote="UllFC":jj6u4dmn]Are there any other clubs we could look at offering a transfer fee to? The league is near insolvent and being proped up by wealthy owners, surely waving say £100k at a club would at least be considered (aside from a few big names, certain clubs that are also rich etc)[/quote:jj6u4dmn] Probably but I doubt we are wanting to pay fees for players. The media are calling the Salford situation it ‘selling’ players but I doubt there’s much in the way of transfer fees being offered, Ackers and Croft went for 150K last year without the special measures. I don’t think they have any assets close to being as valuable as those 2 now, and it’s been made public that they need 800K off the wage bill it’s definitely a buyers market can’t see anyone going for anywhere near 100K.

[quote="Tarquin Fuego":2qm8yqqh] Would a player swap work ? For me that’s a yes [/quote:2qm8yqqh] Impossible at the minute because Salford are banned from registering players. Even if that changed realistically don’t think swaps would work for anyone but especially Hull based players. Salford already have the lowest wage bill in the competition and need to cut 800k, contracted players from other clubs won’t want to take a huge pay cut, especially relocating from Hull.

[quote="Marcus's Bicycle":3khv2tou]If the quota exemption is implemented does anyone think we should be in for Lafai? His contract expires at the end of this season so I would guess there's no need for a multi year deal. Hasn't got the pace of Cross but he's a far better player and we were interested last season.[/quote:3khv2tou] Salford have three of the best centres in S/L I would take any one of them above Cross if they became available under an exemption Lafai is a wings dream centre and would be great alongside Martin and Barron.No slower than Hardaker of Chamberlain but we do need some pace at centre so my choice would be Marsters.

They didn't offer one for Liam Byrne did they.
