What better shop window than a televised game at Wembley?
And that if they have a brilliant first half of the season, they might be offered an extended deal in January anyway.

In the world of free transfers, i don't really see many longer contracts being dished out at this level unless someone blobs a load of cash on a transfer fee and wants to secure a few seasons for their investment or sell on at a profit during the 2/3 years.
The players (and clubs) seem to have accepted a merry-do-round each year. Players not wanting to commit to a single club for too long, clubs not wanting to gamble on a long term deal for someone who could be a flop. So i think, particularly in the lower leagues, we will continue to see this theme.
Not many players are in L1 or L2 simply play to pick up a pay-packet. Therefore it tends to be people trying to shine and earn a better deal elsewhere higher up the food chain. They have a year to prove themselves to potential suitors or earn an extended stay at their current club should they wish. If that doesn't materialise, they know they can get another deal at another club on a similar salary.

What is a transfer fee anyhow? An accounting concept, a trend: like a hovel in thmat london is worth hundreds of thousands because that's what London does and forever will so the maths is insulated irrelevance?
I think we see less now of the transfer fee whereby the player is traded unwillingly by the calculating chairman. The transfer fee seems more like alimony, "at this level", as the fanxperts must paste to every post somehow.

Not sure how rule changes on loans from 2016 will affect clubs' and players' attitudes to one-year contracts.
