I'm either being whooshed badly or your memory is simply dreadful!
You won't have heard many sing baker's praises higher on here prior to his signing,
hence the old ockers debate.
Shhhhhhh......you're not supposed to mention that Mellow.....especially the part about Baker being a two-bit non-league player with no ambition
I've yet to read what the basis of this deal actually is. You seem to think its a fantastic deal for Southport, can we assume then that Morecambe have paid a fee for Duffy? The Visit
or article reads as though Duffy has joined us on loan, and providing he warrants one a conract will be offered to him in the summer. Reading Ports messageboard it appears he will be out-of-contract with Southport in the summer, thus a freew agent. Granted, given the players age we would have to pay Southport a fee should they offer him a new deal at the same terms, though these fees seem to be minimal as we learnt with the fee Carlisle initially offered for Danny Carlton.
Or have I got the wrong end of the stick? Is it not the financial aspect of the deal you are pleased about, but the fact that you've got rid of a player that wasn't performing for you?
