The delay can only be that he's a Mansfield player 1907 and out of contract in the Summer and Mansfield haven't agreed to sell him yet.
At present, I'd imagine that there will be his agent trying to do deals with a number of clubs and trying to get the best for his client.
Let's imagine there are three interested parties:
A) A Championship club
B) A League 1 club
C) Rochdale
If A) or B) come off then the agent is going to naturally recommend that to his client above Rochdale.
The problem comes when A) move from "certain" to "still keen" and then the agent has to think about B) vs C). If Corey isn't the first choice for the Championship club and they have other options then he is stuck until they decide to move.
Corey's agent then has to convince Mansfield to sell Corey to club A), B) or C) on terms agreeable to them but there they have the same problem we had with Morley which is sell now or lose him for nothing in the Summer.
The risk that Corey and his agent faces is that there are only 16 days of the window left from tomorrow and to get a deal done his client won't have played (or be playing at Mansfield) this month. Wherever he ends up he will be lacking playing time.
The other risk is that no-one gets a deal done with Mansfield and he's trapped without football for 6 months. Nigel Clough might just prove a point to Corey given their alleged falling out which sparked his loan move to us in the first place. |

Agree with the rest of your analysis, but not sure the Mansfield board would allow Clough the luxury of that type of anal retention |  |

Looks like they may also be a board in transition..

I find the whole O’Keeffe situation very frustrating personally.
We’ve all known for months that his loan spell was up in January and it is clear he is the man Stockdale wants to play RWB or we would have brought somebody else in by now.
However it’s now 16th January, almost half of the transfer window and month has gone and we’ve still not managed to find a solution? Why? Why didn’t we have something agreed months before January if we knew we wanted him that much?
I understand dealing with agents and other clubs can be very frustrating but there does appear to be some lessons which need to be learned from this situation. Had multiple games not been called off we would have been short in one of the most important positions of our system. |
