Lets hope he can show some pride to play for us, and can kick peoples arses when they are not putting the effort in. ---------- IT may have taken over a decade but Barnsley-born full back Paul Heckingbottom has finally signed for his hometown club after putting pen to paper on a loan deal at Oakwell today. Speaking exclusively to www.barnsleyfc.co.uk, Paul said: "I have signed a loan deal initially but that is only to get everything through in time and I can make my debut tomorrow. I will be signing permanently for Barnsley next week. "Things have moved pretty quickly although I have been trying to sort my future out since the start of the month really after I was told I would be leaving Sheffield Wednesday. I have been making Barnsley well aware of my position since then and this is the only club I desperately wanted to come to. "I just needed Andy Ritchie and the chairman to sort things out and give me my chance here. I was straight over here and I am absolutely thrilled. "This is the one place I have always wanted to be even though it has taken ten or eleven years to get here. It will be worth it and I just cannot wait to make by Barnsley debut. "I am disappointed with the way things have worked out at Wednesday because I wanted to play in every game this season. It is a blessing in disguise really because I would not have been given this opportunity to come to my hometown club if I had been playing for them. "I have come here to win promotion with Barnsley. I do not know whether people are talking in those terms just yet but that is my target. I want to be a success and I want to win back to back promotions".
I think he means............ he did it last year with Fowls and so this year with us-even he can't see us going straight through to the Prem ??
He can definitely talk the talk Brilliant first interview for getting the fans on his side. Let's hope he does the stuff.
RE: He can definitely talk the talk They all talk a good talk when they first sign, some are all talk and don't do the business on the field. Having said that it's a good signing by Richie, he's a half decent player.
