This answers my earlier thread then, thank you!! Glad we're entering talks with him, hopefully we'll have him for a few more years!
I suppose you could argue its very senisble to wait until after summer recruitment. What if we had found a keeper who was as good as Steele but only wanted half the money, freeing up more to invest elsewhere.
Comical Ali said in the summer we won't be holding talks until the season is well underway... http://www.barnsley-chronicle.co.uk/mobile/sport/article/5156
Listened to the interview with Hill on audioboo. Sounded to me like if we secure a high earner(s) then we can't offer Steele a decent deal.
