Will the Dingles come for Ajayii?

[millertop]

Barnsley like to buy players cheaply then sell them on at a profit, it's a decent business model tbf.

Unfortunately proven Championship quality midfielders and defenders do not come cheap. So if they want him they'll need to dig deep.

They've been moaning saying a 3 million bid they've supposedly had for Kieffer Moore was a joke offer lol, an unproven player at that level. Yet if they have made a bid for Ajayi it will no doubt been around the 600k mark.

Make a serious bid or jog on is what we should be telling them.

Spot on riley

Did their formula not like purrington or Dom ball?

I don't think we will be making another bid for Ajayi personally .

Already signed 3 centre backs this window and linked heavily with a fourth from Belgium .

Neither Davies or Lindsay wanted to stay and had eyes for bigger money at Stoke City and Pinnock was offered 10k a week to sign a new deal , he wasn't interested either .

The club wanted to keep all three but we can only pay what we can pay and that's that .

We move on .

I might be wrong here but I believe the Americans that own most of Barnsley FC have developed some kind of formula for buying players. They input all kind of stats into a system and it measures their worth and risk.
I doubt they’ll deviate from it too much.

If you have seen the film Moneyball. It’s the same sort of method.

Thought it was the Chinese that bought Barnsley

Not sure Frog. If the most we can get for him is 500k I'd rather us keep him, get a really good season out of him which hopefully leads to promotion, then let him leave for nothing when his contract runs out or get him to re-sign for us.

A move to Barnsley will be very sideways in my opinion, they will do well to stay up and there's every chance we'll go straight back up. Tbh I think there's better placed clubs than Barnsley that would take him.

Personally I don't think a move to Barnsley would be a sideways move but maybe not as forward as Ajayi deserves.
IMO he is a better player than Vaulks and we should be looking at 3 million plus. This guy nearly saved us on his own at one time with his goals and defending, and again IMO he is worth more than we got for Vaulks.

A consortium consisting of one Chinese American , two Americans and two Indians .

Must be a joke there.

They’ve signed Appo Halme from Leeds Utds U23s. Talented young lad who can make a decent profit for tykes if/when they sell him on.

Can’t see Semi going there

Leeds beat Ajax and Hoffenheim to his signature when he left his native Finland so we are hoping he's going to do well with us .

Got to agree with Ronners. Keeping Ajayi will get us promoted. Got to be worth all of £3 million to us. Unfortunately i suspect the chairman will undersell him if someone comes in with a cash up front offer. In this league he will be phenomenal. I don't fancy our chances without him.
