Does anyone know his contract with us ? Has he 2 yrs left @ BFC ?

All I know is that he's just over a year in to his current deal as he was signed initially on loan .
Could possibly have 23 months still remaining as you say .
So your looking at 18 months left in the summer which helps the club rather more than just 12 months left as we experienced with Pinnock .
Time for the club to step up and get top dollar for the lad , if he hits 20 championship goals in a relegated team you should in this market be looking at proper serious money .
Then again it entirely depends on who wants him .
A relegated PL club would be the best bet for us , somebody like West Ham or Bournemouth for instance would be perfect , a need to get some of their top earners out of the club but still a bob or two with parachute money .
If West Ham or Bournemouth came calling I'd want £10m if Bristol City are the only show in town you'd do well to get £5m for the lad .
I’m confused...... You say it’s “time for the club to get top dollar”? But we all criticise the club for selling assets last time we went down..... We both know that even if £10m was gleaned that it won’t be used to buy a costly or adequate replacement... so why not keep him and play him in league one?
The brass will go into pockets of the owners anyway.
The owners will always sell him to fund the ongoing day to day running of the club, as everyone says... they won’t put brass in..... so what’s the point of getting top dosh? May as well keep him until Jan 2021, then sell.
We can’t criticise for selling talent.... and then say “ Get top dollar” because even if they get top dollar....it won’t improve our progression.
He signed a 3yr deal in January 2019 and the club has an option on a further year
Do you think I'd be realistic if I said he should be going no where in the summer and should be offered an extension to his current deal ?
Every Barnsley board in the past historically would be selling Cauley Woodrow this summer .
C'mon Jules let's see this for what it is mate .
Massive difference selling players like Woodrow when relegated as oppose to the spine of the team when promoted or 7th in the championship in January .
I actually think the spine will be sold again. Unfortunately.
No evidence to suggest otherwise..... and plenty to suggest it will. Mowatt, Chaplin, Woodrow, and perhaps a few more will get restless, and feed the usual” we can’t hold players back if a great offer comes in.” Your right though, if they’ll sell the spine when promoted... they won’t Hesitate to cash in at the end of this.
And if the cycle of ownership is as folk think... once the profits have been gleaned at the ends of this season, and they’ve made back the money they bought the club for they’ll be off.

Perhaps. The next ten games will decide that. I think we're down but it's a kind fixture list if they can keep pulling those types of performance out.
I think it was the fixture list that saved us in 2012/13 and made us in 15/16 too. Nice run of games against midtable sides just like we had around Christmas.
I think we blew it those three games against Charlton, Sheff Wed and Birmingham. Needed 5 points minimum there.
