Yes he must be gutted earning more money elsewhere, he must look back at us and say I wished I'd stayed at Barnsley and what's money anyway.
Good luck to him done well to get a short term deal at Cardiff. Made more money than if he would have stayed here.
Is it though amongst their profession? Would they rather be a Premier League footballer on 30k at Burnley or play for Swansea in the Championship for 50k. I think amongst the profession the goal is to play at the highest level possible and thats not always on the best money they could get.
Really get a grip it's all about the money, he's no affiliation with Barnsley and now he's at a bigger club than us.
