If they were worried about their demands they should have been talking to other clubs earlier. This could have been handled a lot better and again we dont get fair value back.
Someone should ask feaster why a lazy player was picked. I thought he wanted will and skill. Well they got one out of two.

The short answer is they didn't. They were talking to his agent months ago, but they couldn't do anything concrete until the the WHC was over as they aren't allowed to talk to the player until then. They were talking to other clubs a week ago to see what they might get in a trade. Given they only had half a month to deal with the player, I'd say they did pretty good.
Feaster prefers skill over will if only one is present as will often develops as a player ages. Put him under Playfair and the will might just develop. Darryl would have got a guy with will and little skill. It's a lot more likely a player will get the will thing figured out at that age then the skill thing.
