    I think people were saying 2million at 1st but lets be right its 1.5 million tops if he just edged their previous record of 1.3million.

    Deal worth £2m. A fee believe to be in the region of £2m. That’s what I remember.

    We’re so quick to shut that rumour down yet spend thread after thread getting wound up about some kid in his bedroom on a ‘Footy Rumours ITK’ site.

    You never know, he could have been on the phone to his agent during the infamous round of golf: get me out of here!

    I've just looked on the Transfermarkt site. I don't know how reliable it is, but it says Luton paid £1.8 million for Morris.

    He's worth more than that to us if his goals had got us back to the Championship!

    That website is wrong as often as it's right. Gets quoted a lot though.

    How does any of us know when it's wrong and when it's right?

    These days, with difficulty. Although if it's deemed not in Barnsley's favour than it's taken as gospel and the everyone needs sacking.

    I wish people wouldn't hanker over former players. Good luck to lad but I couldn't give a shiny 5h it what Bree, Clark, Berry, Woodrow and Morris do now they aren't at Barnsley.

    I've all on reviewing what's going on down at Grove Street lol :D.

    It was a good header though ;).

    IMO the only reason why Morris got overlooked by bigger clubs was his injury record. I wish the lad well. One of the best all round forwards we have had in recent times. Ashley Ward-esque, but was out injured a lot, which was probably why we got to sign him in the first place. If we got north of £1.3 million I reckon that isn't too bad business, given he wanted away.

    We turned a £200k striker in to a £1.5m-£2m striker within 18 months. I'm with you, in that his all round game was a joy to watch, but he needed injections to play that first five months for us and had a bad injury in the following six months. Looked fit as a fiddle last night though and a real handful in that first half (less so in the second).

    All clubs look at resale value (not just us) and some might have backed off thinking £2m was his ceiling.

    I wish him well. Hope he can stay clear of injury, as he is a talent. My honest feeling is he'll be on the treatment table again at some point this season. He ran his blood to water when he played for us. All i can ask. Not seen that from any of last year's summer signings, which has sadly been our nadir. Cole looks to be putting a shift in now, but I don't see him as being even a 10 goal a season player. Just hope we sell Iseka, but who in their right mind would take him? I suspect he's sat in Nando's counting his cash...

    Not sure we can claim the credit , he obviously always had the talent but we were lucky to get him for £200 000. Still it's a decent profit and he so nearly got us to the promised land!
