That the Manzala tweet is some more awfully thought out banter from the media team... Unlikely but you never know. Cannot get any confirmation at the minute.
Reading the tweets from his fellow countrymen he must be Ronnie Glavin,Messi and Ronaldo rolled into one.They're over the moon that he's turned us down.Ah well on to the next target.
To be honest, it seems very odd for a player to speak publically about transfers. So much so it almost seems Twitter banter.
It won't be a joke, it'd be very unprofessional if it was. Let's leave it, he's decided against coming here and it's not overly surprising all things considered. I wouldn't imagine we'd be the easiest sell to a lad from France at the moment. We need to move on to plan b or c, assuming we have those.
It would be a cruel trick to Amiens fans if so, who are all responding in spades. It would be akin to Conor Hourihane pretending he hadn't signed for Aston Villa.
We don't want any bloody Jonny foreign legion army types anyway . Sling thi hook lad . (said with an hint of sarcasm before the ultra PC brigade complain ) . He's bound to sign anyway . Btw saw Hecky in Strafford arms tonight with someone who didn't come up for air talking about players so I presume he was an agent. Hecky looked like a typical Barnsley bloke, like he couldn't be arsed .
or maybe an elaborate smoke screen to hide other targets we may have from our rivals. Nothing would amaze me anymore in football.
Asserting that the typical Barnsley bloke can't be arsed is homophobic, technically incorrect and shows ignorance towards the miracle of Vaseline. 99% can be. I am one of the 1% who can't though.
Liking things like this is just weird. Maybe it’s because Barnsley fans have hammered him but it seems disrespectful to a club who’s shown a keen interest in him.
If you put yourself in Manzalas shoes for a minute and look at the facts he was risking a lot ie signing for a club with 1 win in 14 games and a distinct possibility of plying his trade at Wimbledon ,Fleetwood next season instead of PSG and Monaco. When all’s said and done I’m surprised the deal got so far.
