And your point being .......? NFT

 

Fair point.

But, if you're using 'Premiership Experience' as a selling point, shouldn't you also be including the minus points, like 'injury prone', 'past it', 'crap and always has been' etc?

And calling Howard a proven Championship striker is taking liberties.

 

RE: And your point being .......? NFT

My point being how much stronger the other teams in our division have become, look at burnley for instance a team who used to be very similar to ourselves. The 2 players they have signed this year Andy Gray and Alan Mahon both would walk into our starting line up, both with championship experience. We not even trying to sign players like thease, thats the problem.

 

RE: Fair point.

Fair point on Howard but again wish he played for us.</p>

 

Andy Grey is **** on a stick

And I would not have him especially for the 700 grand that Burnley spent on him.</p>

Sheff Utd fans were over the moon when they flogged him.</p>

 

RE: Fair point.

Me too mate.

 

The premier League experience doesn't wash...

A lot of them are players that have not made it in the premier league. Jonny Jackson for instance has played about 12 games in the prem. Most of his games have been out on loan in our division.</p>

The players on that list if they had been good enough for the premier league then they would still be there.</p>

 

a player i think we should have tried hard to sign

Kenny Cunningham

 

RE: Andy Gray

Would walk blindfolded into our team, has scored goals at this level consistently and sheff utd fans were only bitter when he left.
Ask any one on this board who they would prefer, Andy Gray, Mark Richards or Tommy Wright</p>

 

RE: The premier League experience doesn't wash...

BUT THEY ARE STILL CHAMPIONSHIP QUALITY!!!!!</p>

not league 1 or league 2</p>

 

Mate's a Blades fan.

Said Gray was okay if defenders allowed him to play, but as soon as the going got tough, he disappeared. Neither Wright nor Richards would do that.

 

For 750 grand?

Then ask.</p>

The question should be....</p>

If Barnsley FC had £750,000 to spend on a striker then would you choose Andy Gray?</p>

If the answer is no then who else would you choose instead?</p>

 

But

Gray would score more goals week in week out than either of the other 2.

 

Flinders money

£1 million, Morgan and Horsefield. Horsefield cant wait to leave the club, morgan possibly 3rd choice at brammall lane this year.

 

RE: But

No doubt, but as Nutkins says, I wouldn't have paid that much for him regardless of how many he might score.

 

How can you say these players have premiership experience, when they've never even played a game?

Stephen Kelly
Neil Danns
Johnnie Jackson
Mikkel Bischoff
Wayne Andrews
Darren Kenton
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake
Kelvin Davies

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span>

 

RE: But

even if his goals would keep us up, id rather spend the money on a player who keeps us in the division than not spend it and go down.

 

RE: But

Much prefer someone who's not going to hide. Horsfield and Mogs is a good call.

 

Do you know that our players aren't Championship quality?

Do you know?</p>

Well do you?</p>

Have we played a game yet?</p>

We can beat on our day most of the sides in the bottom half especially at home. You seem to think that this division has become more difficult than the premier league was 10 years ago. It hasn't. Players have always moved from top division clubs. Clubs like us have always been promoted, not all have been relegated. Its not cut and dried. </p>

Let the players show what they can do before being knocked from pillar to post on here.</p>
