http://barnsleyfc.org.uk/threads/fee-agreed-with-preston-for-hourihane-apparently.237241/ Interesting reading what a few people thought of Conor just over a year ago.... ... special shout out to SirPyscho.... you must be delighted we got rid of such a terrible player. And to think you wanted £300k for him. How come you're bashing the club for holding on to him and getting over £3m???
Mate, tell me about it. That's why I did a little google search. Took all of 2 minutes to find that with people like SirPsyco saying they would snap prestons hand off for £300k for Hourihane.
Because he's a clueless muppet. Edit: The depressing thing is people being unable to reflect on their views and change their mind. They just plough on with the same tired spiel over and over again.
http://barnsleyfc.org.uk/threads/conar-hourihane.219749/ This one is my favourite.... for those who are criticising our recent signings in January. Perhaps give them a bit more than 6 months??
Just the same usual suspects. There are plenty of posts around from me saying he was the bees knees from the get go.
Love it. So some reckon we'd have been in L2 with a loss on the Hourihane to PNE deal of -£300k (with the £600k compo to pay LJ off). Not to mention add-on to Plymouth. Intead, we are in profit on both Conor and LJ, a league higher and 2 Wembley appearances to reflect on. I bloody love football. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, even the artist formerly known as Whitey reckoned he should have chosen Brizzle or MK as his next step. Difference between the artist formerly known as Whitey and 'others' in that thread, is that he is able to modify his views based on the present environment. Rather than persisting with the same ****** ad infinitum.
Can't you have found the multiple threads dated August 2014 when only a couple of games into his Barnsley career I was saying on here that he's our best midfielder since Craig Hignett and was getting bashed for it. Some of us could just see he was a once in a generation player from the off
That was when we were **** under the management of Mr Johnson. We all know what happened not long after that. At the time the money being branded about in that thread would have been a good deal considering at that particular time we were relegation fodder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This thread is priceless the same person who is constantly bashing the club for selling our best players for "peanuts" wanted to sell conor 16 months ago for 300k..... if you notice my input I state if we sell conor we would be alot more likely to be relegated I stand by that as at the time of the thread we was bottom of league one under Lee Jay and losing conor's goals and assists would have been terrible at the time.
Not wishing to be pedantic but it's from december 14 so it's from over two years ago, not one year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
