Lets then assume a Scotch Prem club maybe one of the Edinburgh teams comes in with an offer to take Freddie Laptop on loan Warne moves quickly with TS blessing to set up a deal to bring in one of the EFL's top scorers for a substantial fee and a 3 year contract confident in the knowledge that one of his highest earners is off the books and the interest in the striker project drops.
Laptop does not want to go to Scotland and the only other interest is from 2 promotion rivals, so no deal there. Warne worried that Laptop will lose interest still wants to push on with the striker deal he has set up, TS will not relax the purse strings but Warne wants another striker one who can make an immediate impact not a project. Work the rest out.

I suspect I am not far off the mark. Be interesting to see if the striker deal goes through now, ironically a Scots club is now chasing the same guy


To cut a long story short Ladapo being sold would make funds available for Stockton. Didn't happen so Kelly was next choice. So wouldn't say Warney didnt want or sign him just he wasn't his 1st choice.
