You've missed the point. Why would a player want to sign for a team that he knows will sell him if the club get promoted in 6 months time. He's not good enough for the premier league, so why would he want to sign?
Not surprised by this at all. Never thought he'd want to come here as soon as we were linked. Why would a 27 year old player from league one, who clearly from what people are saying isn't a premier league player, want to come to a team that is trying to be in the premier league time in 6 months...
