    Are we close to the DKD deal now the match is over or if we're anywhere near these 2 strikers ? Thanks Luca.

    Been praying that the reason we weren’t in for McAtee was because we’d be after this kid.

    Unreal baller but Huddersfield will be massive favourites to get him unfortunately, these owners won’t be willing to prove me wrong…..

    I'm not sure our owners particularly care about proving you wrong.

    a bit touchy? The owners should be caring about what the fans think?

    What a daft response that was…. Deary me.

    Not touchy at all, just your constant digs at anything and everything the club does or doesn't do are getting pretty tiresome.

    Huddersfield were recently in the Premier League. They will still have players on high Championship wages, so unless our owners are willing to completely smash our wage structure to land the player, he's more likely to go to Huddersfield. Breaking a club's wage structure to land certain players has rarely ended well in the past for a multitude of pretty obvious reasons.

    Your response to me was that the owners won’t care what their fans think of them? You’re completely wrong on this account.

    You’re forgetting 3 years ago we finished 5th in the Championship, too many Barnsley fans intent on dragging us down and having to accept mediocrity; it shouldn’t be this way and it’s playing into their hands…..

    It's not about accepting mediocrity, it's about facing up to the fact the owners have to run the club financially as a buiseness.
    Too many football clubs have faced going bust on the basis of overspending.
    Do you honesty think the board are happy to see us sitting in the 3rd tier.
    They acted on the Collins fiasco ,and are trying to build a good team that can challenge for promotion financially viable.
    I am releived the player from brum was sent packing ,regards his wage demands.
    We lose players as they want to earn as much money as they can.

    Playing into their hands? So you think that they want to us to play at a lower level? What you're saying makes no sense, and conveniently forgets that they put in about £5 million every season to keep us afloat.

    They also helped to get us into this position don’t forget. We have had some really poor head coach and player recruitment not forgetting the whole Conway/Oulare Iskea fiasco.

    Genuinely think whoever (if anyone) gets him in L1 goes up.

    He's that good

    Sounds like Huddersfield are in for him. So unless he’s got a better offer would imagine he’s going there.

    We've had some excellent coach and player recruitment as well though. It's not an exact science for any football club.

    The blame for Conway's misdemeanours can't be really be laid at the door of the current board.

    If he's that good, he wouldn't be coming to the pub league.

    Does make you wonder after all we watch football for pleasure something we do with our free time. Some on hear seem to derive no pleasure from if what's so ever I understand you can't agree with everything the club does I certainly don't but if it made me so unhappy I would have to find something else to do with my free time.
