they are absolutely creaming themselves at re signing Coppinger, making lots of mouth about him turning us down twice? There's me thinking he was actually staying there because no other fecker wanted him or weren't prepared to pay him the money he wanted!
He was even pimping himself to us via his twitter account... Bless em, they've got to cling to something when we raid their players.
I got the impression when Radio Sheffield mentioned Coppinger to both Danny and Ben, that they had their suspicions Coppinger would go back to Doncaster. They kept reiterating that they didn't want to comment on another clubs player, despite the fact that he'd been released by Doncaster. He said we were a massive club, not sure if that was genuine or a tongue in cheek comment based on the obvious interest we were allegedly showing. No offer was made from our club. To be honest it would have been a good signing for us, but I'm happy with the players we've signed so far.
I asked Coppinger about #barnsleyfc links 'A club like Barnsley is a massive club and a club you would like to play football at' #DRFC We didn't even offer him a contract.
