Pressure on PC and The DON.......after Naughton and Lowton.......and now Blackman

Naughton..........£5 Million
Lowton.............£3 Million

Slew £1 Million.......and now it looks like even Blackman has gone for £1.2 Million

If out nearest and dearest can get this sort of money for players on a quite regular basis.......Barnsley fans are of course looking at PC and The DON to see what they can do in light of a much much bigger talent that they have in their possession called John Stones

 

boo. Piss off, we don't want you on here talking about football. go and ruin the countryside or something like you normally do

ps, I agree with you. Stones can't go anywhere unless it is BIG money.

 

If he stays we can stop up. He goes and I think we will go down. That's my simple opinion. We look so more solid in this formation with him in it. We hold the cards here (for once) its about time we played our hand to suit us.

NOT FOR SALE!

 

Its never bothered me when Barnsley sells a player..............but it foooking really really upsets me when they get nowt for them........time and time again and again and again and agan...............etc

 

I know we won't get this amount, but if Lowton is worth £3m, Stones is worth £5m. I think Stones' potential is more akin to Naughton than Lowton. I've seen Lowton getting ripped apart by Bradford's wingers, floating aimless balls forward and never looking comfortable in the Premiership. He played most of his games for the Blades in their relegation season and League One. Yet it appears we MAY be getting less than what he went for. Crazy. This is the ONE instance where the player in question won't hold the club to ransom, he supports us and loves the club. That gives us a magnificent bargaining position, as well as the long contract. So different to a random player with 6 months left who couldn't care less about leaving us.

 

why compare the price of our player to what that lot have sold there's for

 

If you look back at the players Sheffield United have sold in tha last few years then you are looking at something in the region of ££££ 50 to 60 MILLION

FFS..........they got 2.2 MILLON for Tonge


PS.......they even got £1 MILLON for a relatively unknown kid........Jacob Mellis

 

I don't want him to go because we simply won't get a fair price for him and some premier league vultures will reap all the benefits for a small outlay. This £3m that keeps getting mentioned would be an insult IMO but it's not me negotiating so I can't influence the price.

 

But the trouble is, our assets go for nothing because we put them on one year contracts, or dont offer contract extensions.

Sheffield United get their young players on 3 year deals as soon as they have a good game.

We've done that with Stonesy, so we should be hoping for AT LEAST £3Million for him now. I say keep hold of him for another couple of years and get his contract extended again if possible. We dont need to sell him.

 

We break even this season by beating Burnley in the cup. If hill was on the reported 200k a year we will pay his severance with the extra from the cup since. If we go down many players won't stay (most are on 1 year contracts anyway). We will only have a funding gap IF we want the same budget next year as this year. If we go down we won't be using the same budget and will sign even cheaper players. We don't NEED to sell. Everybody chill art....

 

No i'd not want the club to gamble with an immediate return to the championship by risking our future.

 

I didn't say anything of the sort. My point is review at the end of the season. Don't sell in this window. Gives us a better chance of staying up

 

Sheffield United are run by businessmen.
