Transfer News: Leeds interested in a defender. Bid rejected. Offered him a new contract. Contemplating it. A regular first team player definitely going. Possibly Italy. Wants to join Celtic. An individual has been offered a new contract but keeps on rejecting it. Sunderland have told him they can fourfold it. Had a £1 million bid turned down. We're trying to sign a player from Gillingham. Not in the Barnsley way of doing things in regards of the spreadsheet but keen on coming. A winger from Derby had his medical yesterday. Friendly News: Booked France. Struggling to find a game. Agreed to playing three games in Germany. General club news: No goalkeeping coach from first team down to academy. New chief exec is already in and has brought his mrs along as a 'consultant'. Michael Appleton could end taking a member of our staff with him if he gets a job. Was offered the Hibernian role before Heckingbottom.
Think we can guess who the players are. Was hoping the news would be more positive - ah well, early days & all that.
An individual has been offered a new contract but keeps on rejecting it. Sunderland have told him they can fourfold it. Had a £1 million bid turned down. - any clued on position this one plays? Guessing either Moore or McGeehan but hopefully is neither
Realistically it's disappointing especially if the second news is concerning Lindsay and the one concerning Sunderland is Moore. I'm going to hazard a guess that its more the appeal of quadrupling his wages in general rather then having to drop a division with Sunderland to do it. I can live with Lindsay leaving if we get a capable replacement in as we still have the better defender in Pinnock in our team. I believe the bigger loss would be Kieffer Moore but again if we manage to keep Woodrow in our team and replace Moore adequately then it's not the end of the world.
Aye if that’s the case I’d say it rules him out of this discussion. Sunderland were after Mcgeehan in January as well
Kieffer signed a three and a half year contract in jan 18 https://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/news/2018/january/mooresigns/
That's why I guessed Cameron at 1st if he wants to drop down a league to test himself against Accrington and Fleetwood for more money that's upto him we just need to get what he is worth and it's more than 1million. I guessed to eaves as I don't know any other players at Gillingham I'd want us to sign.
Disappointing on Mcgeehan's part if this rumour is true. I'd have thought he'd have been chomping at the bit to partner Mowatt in the Championship baring in mind they were both jettisoned at roughly the same time during the 17/18 season. Also they have both just been on holiday together. Maybe that was Mowatt trying to convince him to stay. I heard a similar rumour before the 16/17 season that we only signed Hammill up for the extra 2 years because the club thought it would act as a catalyst for other players to re-sign. However, it didn't work out. At least this time those with a year to go on their contracts will definitely be sold unless they sign new deals. That way transfer activity can be concluded properly this summer instead of on a whim like it was January to summer 17. I'm more optimistic the names mentioned would be replaced this time around too. I'd like it if we signed Eaves.
Obviously it all depends on the replacement if a player is sold but i wouldnt be concerned if McGeehan is sold..... Decent league 1 player but i think we need someone better in the middle anyway.
