No, but a decent option would be to stay develop his top level game for longer than 3 months before bouncing himself back down to reserve/lower league football. if Hastie had managed to continue what he started at Motherwell, what do you think his agent could have demanded in say 12-18 months time. At least a move to a bigger club who may want to play him.
Erwin is a classic example. In football terms (not financial), is he in a better place now that he was when he left us ?
