    We miss out on Grant Holt so we turn to a striker from bottom of the Conference.

    Been paying my subs for 39 years, I think I'm in entitled to have my say. Nice to see JB doing well.

    They do it deliberately to upset you.

    It is. But he was getting written off not so long back too. Patience is a virtue.

    We agreed a deal with Wigan to get Holt.

    He turn us down.

    Not the clubs fault, that.

    so what exacyly are you saying here

    you seem to infer that Phenix is no good, maybe we could await and see how he plays for us.

    Glad to see we are giving new signings a chance before shagging them off. A new record this time I think.

    so it was for Everton to sign a relatively unknown 'Kid'

    so it was OK for Everton to sign a relatively unknown 'Kid'....

    from a struggling relegation battling Champ side... the 'Kid' now is very much in the National team (Stones). It was also ok (many years ago) for what is arguably the most famous club in England to sign a lower league player from the same club (Man Utd/Tommy Taylor) but when that lesser club called Barnsley try to find players from the grass roots then we have no ambition, no foresight etc etc ... I suggest some on here just concentrate on their various X-Box/ Playstation games , and get on with winning everything in football.

    I think you need a better response DT it's becoming all too predictable.
