    Probably is now. People are not blind - especially Premier League clubs. The transfer window doesn't close until 8 August. It would be a massive risk to play him against Fulham.

    Got a bet on with a friend that he'll score 20 goals this coming season. My friend reckons no Barnsley player will get anywhere near that. I think I may be paid out at New Year.
    That we got him as a league 1 side was very odd. To get him to sign an extension to his contract just about unprecedented.
    He finishes better than many premier league strikers and makes it look so easy. He'll be back there soon enough. I hope it's with us, it won't be, but I can dream.

    Massive risk to play him? He’s our player and one of our best players so I damn well hope he is playing.

    He won’t leave this window unless an utterly ridiculous offer comes in surely.

    Ah but don't forget, he's a Barnsley player so he'd go for no more than about 500k

    So what is ridiculous? 10M? Suppose he gets a hattrick against former club Fulham? What happens then?

    Is that because he's bound to score a hat trick, or because he's bound to get injured?

    We had almost a season of Woodrow in League 1. He scored and performed about the same as Moore.

    So he's banged in a few in friendly matches - now he's worth 10 million?

    Well he might be due to football inflation. S'abart it.

    What happens if Moore scores a hat trick?

    OK. Let's send each player on against Fulham with the instructions "play like an arsehole" cos we don't want you to do so well that we have to sell you before the transfer window shuts.

    Unbelievable Jeff.

    I think we should play an XI of season ticket holders drawn from a hat until the end of January just to be safe

    I think we should try and be relegated by Christmas. If that's possible.

    If he gets a hat-trick and we take 3 points I would like to think that the only thing that would happen is that we’re all delighted?

    I’ve honestly never heard of not playing someone in case they do well. I’m quite baffled.

    Surely guys we have to think more strategically than just one game ahead?

    I honestly believe that Cauley knows exactly how much he's appreciated by our fan base.
    That's probably the main reason he signed the extension. You can tell, he absolutely loves
    playing for Barnsley.

    Difficult to predict how many he might score next season. A big factor will be whether he can
    strike up successful partnerships with our new signings and the type of service they are able
    to provide for him.

    Only caught glimpses of today's action, but from what I have seen thus far, have to say I was impressed
    with Conor Chaplins contribution.

    I can kind of see your point, but do you really think that a club is gonna bid for a striker on the basis of one performance?

    Agreed. So we'll sell him to Stoke for £2m
