    An old journo mate of mine, once told me that, If there's ever anything like...a spokesmen said or an insider said... with no name to back it up..then its not true, its completely made up. Bet he's googled it off here

    That's not true. Normally when it says insider or something similar it means no one on the club wanted to go on record (for obvious reasons) but they're happy to be quotes as a source.

    Even Plymouth are a bigger club than us according to the comment below the article.

    "We all know that our board will take the money if the bid is increased slightly. But come on, this is Barnsley. It's hardly gonna get Hourihane overly excited. Stay here Hourihane. We are a bigger club and with players like you, we can*challenge*for promotion at the very least."

    It's certainly a bigger area and catchment but they've never really had any prolonged period in the 2nd tier or flirted to go any higher.

    I'm off there in the morning to spend a few days recharging the batteries... i'll seek him out and talk up the town! ;-)

    5 figure bid, Christ I didn't even realise that they still existed in football, I thought a quarter of a million was the bare minimum nowadays

    I hope we go back in. Hourihane and Kane Hemmings seem like exactly the kinds of players I hoped that we'd be signing - if we got both of them it would cheer me right up.

    What did you know about the Cowdenbeath striker Kane Hemmings before this week?

    Aye. People will say they've been following his progress since he scored the winner against Whitehill Welfare in the cup second replay.

    Nothing. And the same goes for Hourihane. I don't pretend to be an oracle about players - don't play enough Football Manager for that. But I trust the club to have been doing a bit more research than me, they're the right age, they're not expensive and they both seem to have done pretty well in teams that didn't exactly set the world alight. If Kane Hemmings and Conor Hourihane are Cowdenbeath's and Argyle's equivalent of Chris O'Grady then I'm happy with that.

    You're never going to know how signings turn out. But I'd rather we took a gamble on players who could potentially come in and do something than settle for League One journeymen, which realistically is our only other option.

    So you hoped we would sign a player from the Scottish second tier?

    That's one of the last things I was hoping for to be honest.

    What's wrong, did my response mess up your oh-so-clever comment directly above it?

    No, I didn't say that. I suggest you read my post again.

    I hoped for young hungry players used to being successful from whatever level. 2 of the best players I've ever seen play for Barnsley in Bullock and Sheridan both signed from non league.

    It doesn't bother me where we sign our players from. Never has, never will. It's how they perform for us that matters to me. After seeing so many we've picked up from Premier League clubs these past few years who have been utter dross, I certainly don't have any problems with us bringing in lads from Division 2 or Scotland.
