    He'll probably have talks with all 3. Get the impression we're interested and he knows the club and town. Think Dave Jones may have a greater influence over him though.

    He's signing for Blackpool according to Rob Staton.

    The Chopra thing seems incredibly unlikely to me given his reputed wages 18k a week and his public statements in the press that he won't consider taking a pay cut. I had hope we would have a look at Simeon Jackson but McLean seems a reasonable option.

    interesting. mansford was drilled on this on monday, and i thought his response was a little cryptic. on the one hand, his recent history and very public baggage, doesn't seem to endear him as a player, to the 'new' Barnsley.

    on the other - i have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that if he joins us, it will be on OUR terms. not his. and if he doesn't join, we've probably dodged a bullet for the same reasons. that's how confident i am on our recruitment strategy under the current leadership team.

    Wonder if that means Blackpool will drop their interest in Mclean?

    fingers crossed.

    Staton isn't normally wrong - looks like he's joining Blackpool. If we can get McLean I'd be happy with that.

    3 goals all last season, big debts, personal problems etc. Even if he took a 50% paycut to 9k a week he'd be on too much money.

    Plenty of one armed bandits in Blackpool. He'll be made up.

    No sour grapes at all here- too much baggage for a steady ship like Barnsley

    Chopra doesn't fit the Flitcroft profile and is too long in the tooth to change his ways now. I would like to see Lopez set the remaining friendlies on fire, if he's still here.

    I haven't seen evidence of anyone on here saying how much they wanted Chopra to sign, only to change their mind?

    I agree with your there Mr C. Lopez looks like he has the potential to impress and hopefully he will get a longer run out tomorrow evening.
