If we had gone up to the Premiership we probably would have signed him.

The idea we would sign him if still in the Championship was old pony put abart by the club arseoyles.
Possibly you're right SB.

But it's also possible we had an agreement in place with Orlando for many months before Dike arrived at Barnsley, which may well have been on much better terms, because Dike improved over that term than anyone had imagined. And then, due to his Barnsley performances being so good, it led to a fee that Conway wouldn't stump up, even though we and Dane may have seen it as a bargain?
