    Didn’t we try to sign him from Leeds but he chose Wigan instead?

    Heard he or his agent used us to manoeuvre his move to Wigan.

    Move on.

    Bid turned down anyway it says now.. we must be way down Conway's list now. If we were knocked back again for a player who previously chose elsewhere .

    Suspect he’ll extend at Wigan now they’re back to silly season when it comes to wages they offer

    Looking at the Wigan forum and the comments on there are all in favour of him leaving. Sounds like he’s injury prone. Should feel at home at Oakwell

    It was reported but I’m sure somebody said it wasn’t true. We ended up signing Oduor instead.

    I think it’s time to cement Styles position as LWB, that is where he is most effective in my opinion. We need a midfielder, that should be priority.

    But that’s assuming we’ll be sticking with a back 3 all season. Not sure we will to be honest

    Styles was back to his old self on Saturday and scored a stunning goal. I don’t think we should even consider playing him in centre midfield. He thrives on space to operate and he gets it at LWB

    If we swap to 4 2 3 1 I don't really see where Styles gets into the team. Unless we play him left of the 3.

    Correct, he’s our key player, so we need to build the side around him.

    After displaying that fabulous shooting technique to the world on Saturday I wouldn’t be surprised to see a major bid in for him before tomorrow night. We shouldn’t consider less than £20 million in these stupid spending times. Maybe more
