https://www.barnsleychronicle.com/a...dea-where-future-lies-with-sale-talks-to-wait "The Reds have a fee agreed to buy Dike at the end of the season" So its not $20m.
It is to some on here, they're still quoting the $20m. To me it reads like its his choice, and if his only contact with the fans is via social media we're fùcked.
https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2021...a-daryl-dike-will-return-barnsley-loan-unless Different sources. "Something exceptional" probably means promotion to the premier league or something. But thank you for the update. Would love to sign him permanently.
That reads to me that it isn't down to us if he's here next season regardless of what fee has been agreed.
That's the case with every transfer. Just because we agree a fee, he doesn't have to sign. I suspect he'll be playing for neither Barnsley or Orlando next season.
Like already said only way he will be here next season is if we go up. I think he will turn out a very decent player in years to come he's big, strong as a ox, holds the ball up well, can head the ball, bring others into play and he has a decent strike on him and only 20 years old.
If it's his choice he's not coming to us for less than 2 million if he can get 10 million and play in the Prem.
Am I the only one who doesn't think he's that good? I'll probably get pelters like and he's only young but imho he isn't a patch on Morris .........
He's only 20, just starting out in professional football. He's come on his own in the middle of a pandemic to a new country with a competitive league and hit the ground running. Definitely got heaps of potential.
Can tell he is still young at times when playing i think but at 20 ivan toney was getting wrote off by a load of barnsley fans now he is top scorer and top of assists in the championship. I think dike has the potential to develop into a decent player if he doesn't go back to the mickey mouse, walking football retirement league.
That's the biggest thing for me, young kid, no friends, on his own stuck in a locked down country. I can see his apartment from one of our bedroom windows, l'm gunna send the missus round Sunday with a roast for the lad.
