So the latest on Lowery: it seems his agent has 'advised' him to sit the season out and collect his wages for a year and then he'll get a good deal from another club. I hope he that TL is not that stupid to go along with the idea. However, I can't help thinking that maybe this is a consequence of Wintle's action for the previous 18 months. This would be the exact scenario I was railling against in my earlier posts re: Wintle's determination not to sign. Now no sooner has he gone than another player is threatening to sit tight for a year. The main difference, of course, is that Wintle was given his place and still turned out for the Alex while he ran his contract down. Possibly, Lowery and his agent are now following suit but this time Artell is putting his foot down and so their 'bluff', if that is what it is, has been called. Fortunately, we have a large number of midfielders to choose from and so TL will not be missed. What kind of professional footballer, particularly at his stage of development, decides not to play competitive football for a year?
