Deja Vu eh Chris! Seem to remember something similar this time last year. Might be better off having a chat with the club though rather than the Star.
That's not really saying anything at all, is it? I mean, we could probably sign pretty much anyone if the terms were right. Compare that with what Reid way saying, even before we were promoted.
It say's.... <div class="ds-headline" id="ds-headline">Reds start with cardiff</div><div class="ds-headline"><div class="ds-firstpara" id="ds-firstpara"></div><div class="ds-firstpara">WALKAWAY midfielder Stephen McPhail faces an instant return to Oakwell when the season kicks off on August 5. Cardiff City are the first visitors to Barnsley in the Championship. </div><div class="va-bodytext">And Andy Ritchie's newly promoted side will find themselves up against two other Oakwell old boys in Michael Chopra and Chris Barker. Chopra was at Barnsley under Ritchie for a season in 2004-5 and top scored while on loan from Newcastle United. </div><div class="va-bodytext">Ritchie inquired about bringing the 22-year-old striker back but Cardiff shelled out £0.5m to sign him. McPhail was a major driving force in Barnsley securing promotion and before quitting for Cardiff on a free transfer urged the Barnsley board to invest in players. Barnsley go to Hull on league business on Tuesday, August 8 and have a trip to Colchester United on the second Saturday of the season. The Reds take on Sheffeld Wednesday in the big South Yorkshire derby at Oakwell on December 30 and the Christmas festivities bring games against Burnley on Boxing Day and at QPR three days earlier. Barnsley go to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday October 14. The season is scheduled to be wrapped up with a clash at West Brom. </div><div class="va-bodytext">Meanwhile winger Chris Shuker insists that he wants to remain at Oakwell. He has been talking to manager Andy Ritchie. "I don't want to go. If the terms were right I'd stay," he said. </div><div class="va-bodytext">Sunderland begin life in the Championship with an opening-day fixture at Coventry. Black Cats fans are hoping former Republic of Ireland striker Niall Quinn and his consortium have taken over the club by the time they make the trip to the Ricoh Arena. Sunderland finished bottom of the Premiership in 2005-06 and are still without a manager.</div></div>
Personally i hope he stays, 2nd half of last season he was pretty poo but started the season really well. Maybe AR should have rested him when things weren't happening for him but he is still a good player, but i have a feeling that hayes will play more as winger next season hence us looking at forwards, eddie johnson!
hit the nail on the head there-wait for the headline......... Shuker says "come and get me!"</p>
RE: It's not that high its high in proportion to his face though - especially high if he's up a ladder, or maybe even on a small hill
