Have you seen Wigan's reserve wingers ? They are brilliant , they ran Briscoe and Crookes all over the park a few weeks back.... Plus no side would be mad enough to pay £150k trans fee for a winger , we'll no one but us for Alan Hunte that is !

Why have him at the appointment of the new coaching staff if he is to be sold?

Since Lineham only signed a 4 year deal this season. I think its fair to say he will be a FC player next year.

In a word, yes. Why would you sell a player if you cant replace him with similar quality. Unless you've got money troubles that is.

I think Tom is an outstanding player. But £150k for a winger?

I'd be more worried about Ben Crooks' reluctance to sign a long term deal with the club.

I know 'we' wouldn't sell him, but, we don't run the club! How many players have left us and we haven't replaced like for like? Brough, Cooke, Kearney, Briscoe, Manu, Moa (Even Turner)! In the past ten years there are Numerous! It wouldn't shock me at all if this happened and we replaced him with Ade Gardner!

Maybe I'm just bitter now?

There's no way Lineham is going anywhere.

He's crocked anyway dodgy knee, dodgy ankle, dodgy wrist. Best stick with Hull Tom

crooks won't sign another deal with us. He'll be oz bound or move to a more successful club at the end of 2015 at the latest

Thought he was OOC end 2014?

Lineham won't be leaving but I do worry about Crooks, we should be getting a bigger/longer deal sorted.

If he has another season like this one he could doubled his salary, if he hasn't signed an extension in a year then worry.

Very good news he's contracted for 2 more years. Not sure there's that much urgency to extend, but obviously this time next year would be hoping to do so.
