    There might be, but I doubt we've got time to get them in.

    Who knows. If internally we're waiting for a bid of say £1.5 million to trigger the sale, who's to say we haven't sounded out replacements already at £500k?

    The world moves quickly on transfer deadline day. Look at Torres and Carroll that year. Both deals out of nowhere and completed quickly (in our eyes).

    Why are people coming on here and saying so and so was fast he scored goal.

    No one is saying you have to be fast to be a great goalscorer.

    What we are saying is that in the modern game players who score goals and also have pace command a lot higher fees than players without pace.

    If you can get a player using pace in the right way there potential can be huge. All you have to do is look at Jamie Vardy to see that.

    spot on chris. Gary lineker werent fast but brilliant at filling the onion bag. Im saying if Sam was quick we'd defo be daft to sell for less than 2.8 million. Hes not,so for me, we have to temper our hopes of a astronomical valuation thats all, and this does not diminish his value to us, particulary at the minute.

    This is in no way a criticism of Barnsley football club or the people who work there, but we haven't got the money to make things happen so quickly. Andy Carroll wouldn't have been stuck in a traffic jam on the A1 on his journey from Newcastle to Liverpool. He would have stepped on a plane and arrived in Liverpool half an hour later. When you're paying £35 million, such expenses are peanuts. For us, doing stuff like that could end up costing more than the transfer fee. And we don't have what's required in place to make it happen. If Winnall is sold tomorrow, in the afternoon or the evening, we're not getting a permanent replacement until the summer.

    I must be watching a different Sam Winnall because I think he's quick. Not electrically paced like a Vardy or Walcott, but hardly a slouch. The lad's reactions are lightning quick. Wins far more in the air than he ought to, more than the big lumps we've had up front in recent years, he works so hard for 90 minutes, seems ultra-professional and he scores all sorts of goals.

    Posters highlighting pace as a key factor in exorbitant transfers fees are bang on though. And the fact Sam's had some very serious injuries will be taken into account too.

    I'd hardly describe Sam as a slouch. He left the Shrewsbury defence in his wake. His appeal as a striker is the variety of goals he scores. If he does go, I don't think there's any guarantee he'll pick up where he left off at Oakwell. His recent form is thanks in no small part to those around him.

    Lineker wasn't fast? I beg to differ.

    Why don't we just persuade Leeds to buy the replacement?
