Along with lots of posters on this message board, I had become increasingly annoyed by what I thought Martin Offiah was doing to stir things up with regard the Myler negotiations. I thought the fuss was down to him and his way of negotiating. Though I don't know the ins and outs of what is going on on, I'm now thinking that I may have been wrong. As an agent he has to get the best deal he can for his clients and I can live with that. It's his job. He certainly hasn't done any apparent stirring as far as Luke Adamson is concerned and I hope Luke signs his new contract as soon as possible.
Perhaps the Richie Myler fuss has been stirred up by the media and Martin Offiah has merely been answering questions he has been asked and the press and TV people have been reporting them in their different ways. Richie Myler must be regarded as much higher profile than the others because of his England appearances. I suppose that's at the heart of it.
As a Salford fan excited by the best crop of youngsters I've ever seen at the club, I would be equally sorry to see any of them go. For me we still need to be trying to build a team around the likes of Myler, Ratchford, Adamson, Turner, Sidlow etc. Each and every one of them could contribute a massive amount to a successful future.
I hope they do.
My guess is Offiah doesn't have the brain capacity to multi-task and that he would be selling Luke via the media if it weren't for Richie taking up all of his time
