    We HAVE to keep him beyond January. He'll bag us 20+ easy this season. If we do sell, £6m or **** off.

    If he gets another couple but we sold him for 5-6million it would be a carbon copy of the Ashley ward sale which was a massive mistake that we never recovered from.

    Sorry to disappoint Barnsley fans, but he will be sold in the £1.75-2 million range with sell ons. The Club will make a profit at this price and a potential future income on further transfers. The price of £5-6million is fanciful.
    Please don't respond to this post with abuse, just because it doesn't agree with the narrative. Barnsley FC have always sold players for income, the recent death of Jim Iley reminded people of that.

    We never had billionaires as owners before either. I'm still hopeful things have changed.

    If he went for that despite new owners it would be same old Barnsley of selling players cheaply and ruining our chance of success by weakening the team.

    Don't get your hopes up I expect very little to have changed.

    2 million or 5 million, that single sale took the club into an abyss that we never recovered from imo

    If we get a decent bid he'll be sold, just like any other of our players.

    So you can say what we will do but others can't?

    I get the feeling that Keiffer is ambitious and is frustrated at what happened at Ipswich. I think he is hard working and trying to improve himself, he is much more than a Target man. I like him but I'm realistic to know that he would love a chance again in the Championship. The Club's model of working suggests they would sell at a profit. I don't know if the recruitment team have anyone lined up. In the past the club tried to buy John Marquis ,but that was a couple of seasons ago.

    Gary Madine went to Cardiff for over £5million... older and with a worse scoring record. So that should be the minimum asking price for Kieffer. I'd also argue he's a far better player than Jordan Hugill who went to West Ham for £12million.

    He's close to being an all-round forward who adds goals to nuisance value and hold up target man abilities. There aren't many around and so we should demand a huge fee.

    Its nothing to do with being negative or otherwise...the owners have stated our company policy and we have to accept ....that is the way we do business.
    The main challange is replacing the bedded in players with new recruits...ie. young players who we can then make profit on.

    I'll be amazed if we don't sell at least one player in the January transfer window. We're certainly attracting attention for the attacking intent and energy.

    The test will be how many times we say no before saying yes, and what value we get for players to then re-invest. We know what mistakes were made previously in both value and timing. Having said that, with some astute signings, this squad can, and needs to be bettered, and if selling one player for a lot of money brings us budget to sign 2 players with better attributes and character, I'll take that.

    A natural leader and a winner would change this team a lot, and its what we're crying out for.

    Do we actually NEED to sell players right now?
    Once upon a time the priority was to buy cheap and sell for a profit, in the days when we were told that we had next to no money. I'm hoping that using Mowatt as a fine example we may now be able to retain players that formerly we had to sell out of necessity.
    I rather hope that Mr Lee and his colleagues will see where we are in the division and apply a different mind set to what we've been used to.

    There's no way we'll get 5-6 million for a League One player, who has already had a couple of bites at the Championship and shown his limitations. In horse racing parlance, he's a good handicapper, who's exposed in group company.
