    Not heard any rumours of him signing, but Ben Mansford has denied that we're close to signing him. When did this rumour do the rounds?

    Good player but don't think we need any more strikers

    Can't see it happening. Good player who finished the season strongly, but not fitting our set-up.

    I thought he was more a winger? Only scored about 7 I think this season but looked a good player from the small bits I saw of him

    Very similar to O'grady. No thanks. Not the right fit for us.

    Doesn't seem to fit the model, but then I'm not one to try and second guess the holy spreadsheet...

    One of the best left wingers! As a striker he was poor at playing centrally. If he'd played off a Shipperley, he might have been a good striker.

    We talking about O Grady here? The one who was very good with his back to goal but not much use in any other aspect?

    No ,the one who scored 15 goals in a team that couldn't string two passes together ,
    He suits Barnsley IMO very much like Adam Hammil does.

    COGba was a superb player for us. Without him we'd have been relegated by Xmas.

    Akins? Not for me.

    Sad to see some criticising O'Grady. He was quality for us.

    Let's remember who he was playing against compared to who our current team are up against.

    Scoring 15 goals in a poor side against teams where most of them have 4 or 5 times our budget is some going

    Really don't understand this argument. Why does it matter how the goals are scored? O'grady was brilliant for us both in his all round play and the goals he scored. Also to answer your question he scored 11 from open play.

    O'Gradyvwas increasingly annoying. Forever out on the left wing. He was an ok player in a poor team.
