Is it just possible that something was written into his transfer to Villa that should they get promoted to the Premier we would pick up additional cash?
Conor deserves his shot at the Prem. Really hope Villa go up, for that reason and because of how insufferable the Lampard circus will be in the top division.
I think it's safe to say CH is the one player apart from Mr Stones to have graced oakwell who the reds supporters respect the most and want to see succeed at the top. Good luck to him today.
If there's a promotion cash bonus from Villa for Conor, I'd guess there'd be one for James Bree, too?
Was just thinking the same. Imagine getting that bonus and then signing him back for next to nothing. Or offering to wave that promotion bonus so we do get him back for nothing.
We've also got a sell-on for Bree. We could waive that and any potential promotion bonus to reduce the potential transfer fee. Would be a great signing.
