During which time he received full international recognition, received a championship player of the month award, got moved into midfield, showed he can cover at right back if required, scored EIGHT goals in a season, is hardly ever injured ....... and barnsley offer £600k!!! If it wasnt so disrespectful it would be funny.

But what makes it even worse is that some of our own think that £600k would be a fair price.

I work with dingles. The vast majority are sound blokes, but I'll tell you what they don't half over value their players. Keiffer moore was "looks ok, id sey his w'orth about haaalf a milli'un" but is now "three mill, ****in minimum". The only difference being he originally played for us and now plays for them. It really is bizarre.

Barnsley (town and club) is like a puffer fish. Rotherham (town and club) is like a cowardly lion. We've been told so often that we're ****, we believe it!
It's not us who over value our talent it's the buying clubs who pay the fees .

If Bristol City want to pay us £3m for Kieffer Moore then how's that our fault .

Swansea paid us £6.5m for Alfie Mawson , where is he now ?

Well I'll tell you .

In the championship with Fulham , the very same league he played in for a very short time with ourselves and the very same one we are back at too .
