Strange that 3 teams in the same league as Fleetwood are interested in a player who cant make it into Fleetwoods team and is playing in a team that is 21st in the league below. Does not make sense.
I guess those recruiting for L1 teams go into it in a bit more depth than you! Although he's made 40 odd appearances for Fleetwood, he originally came from well down the non-league pyramid. Not being able to compete in Fleetwood's expensive squad evidently it was felt best for him to get regular games in L2 - I don't imagine it's all down to him that Barrow are 21st (despite what their fans say).
He also had Covid, so may have taken longer to recover than some.
It's all about potential. Clubs are forever looking for bargains and to invest in potential that either hasn't been widely spotted, or is unfulfilled. I've no idea whether this guy would be a good signing, but sometimes the deals that prove to be good are the ones that on early inspection didn't "make sense".
