Another loan update!

[KerrAvon]

Recruiting players is not like nipping into a newsagent to buy a newspaper. It's a complicated business. Think about it. Buying or taking a loan player that is not being sought by other clubs will involve at least four parties - Rotherham, the club to which the player is contracted, the player's agent and the player himself.

Decent players - the type that we want - will attract interest from a number of clubs, so the number of parties is increased. Every party will be working to their own agenda and speed - it's more akin to buying a house in a chain than buying a newspaper.

Even the notion of giving up and moving to the next player on the list is not as simple as it sounds. It means abandoning all the - possibly considerable - work that has gone into a prospective deal and starting from scratch on a new one

I respect all that you are saying,but if Paul Warne knows these two players,are going to benefit the squad,surley we should push the boat out and get them in,Warney obviously knows he wants these two players,so he should be given the green light to go out and get them in,he as said,these two players are his dream two,that should be enough surely.

It may well be that he has been given the green light, but that doesn't make it any less complicated. The parent club, the player and his agent will all have their own positions and views on the prospective deal.

Every club, from top of the "PremierSh*t" to bottom of "Division 4" (and beyond) faces the same problems though. We seem to deal with them worse than most . I think that's why some Millersmadsters get upset.
