I'd imagine the 6 months thing is because we can't afford to commit beyond that period at that rate - and we are getting them because we are taking on their contracts and the original club has already told the player they will be gone in the summer. They get next to no financial hit to move to us, but do get some minutes. It's all about what the Options we have entail - I suppose for some players, it will be worth the risk of being on less next season to be sure they have a contract, for others they may see it as an opportunity to invite bids from other places in the summer.

if all we are prepared to offer is 6 months with a club-triggered option after that (as appears to be the case) then it is understandable if 18 months in Grimsby is better from a financial perspective.
The preference for 6 month contracts does pose some troubling questions. Hopefully we see some on longer term deals this afternoon.
Honestly, i don't really blame the club for offering just a 6 month deal. The lad's spent most of his career injured. |

We didnt get to offer him a deal, he left before any negotiations started because he wasnt happy with the way we do things. |

To be fair to him, neither are most of us |

Not too worried about missing out on him reminds a little of Elliot Benyon who was also a neat, tidy footballer but never a prolific scorer.

This is pretty basic stuff, but I thought there was elements of interest in what happens during the transfer window. It's not Swindon related but at Cambridge but some may find it interesting nonetheless.
