I’d offer Hallam a contract.
There. That made you pay attention!
Pay him fairly generously on a game to game basis with a half fee if he makes the bench and full if he plays or comes on as a sub.
What we cannot do is subsidise his injuries any longer.
May seem unfair to some but when you consider the money he’s already had from the club …
There really is a player in there, so if the injury situation is remedied club would have the option of two independent, back to back half season contracts.
From what little I know, this ought not to go against the rules. Gives both the club and Hallam a chance of a decent future together.
There certainly have been past deals brokered for playing on a match by match basis.
How bad would we feel if the injuries are temporary and some other club were to get the best of the lad?
My Blades neighbours rated him incredibly highly – couldn’t believe he’d come to us and still ask about him four years on.
