His legs will be like mine in 30 years time SB his rental value by then would be about the same as conways as a football club CEO is now.

O’Kane:
Understand there is truth in reports that Aaron Leya Iseka could be going to OCI Crete. Not a done deal as far as I am aware though. The Reds would like to move him on permanently. #barnsleyfc

Edit: Wages saved here would pay for 3 years lease !!

Northern Echo
Sunderland have tabled offers for four different players, and while Barnsley’s Callum Styles is regarded as unlikely to make the move to Wearside despite this week’s speculation, Speakman is hoping for some positive news in the next couple of days.

Were are having trouble offloading players, except for a few loan wages.

Probably need to sell before we can buy.

It's likely to be free agents such as Donovan C Pines or loans that may come in.

[SBRed48]

Rumours that we are about to swoop on Josh Earl, a LB or LWB from Third Division bottom club Fleetwood.

Replacement for Styles or Cadden ?

25 year old so should have passed the potential development stage

Yep they really know how to get the juices flowing on Grove Street .

How much out of the £8m is this kid coming in at ? .

The club is becoming increasingly dead to me .

What's the point ?

There isn't one .

If the amount the club pays for a player is how you measure a player then you are following the wrong club.

There are a few clubs nearby that some Barnsley folk follow because those clubs like to spend spend spend.

Just a suggestion but you probably would get more peace of mind and satisfaction following those types of clubs.

Earl went to Fleetwood on a free in Summer 2022 on a two year contract, coming to an end this summer with a one year extension if Fleetwood wished to exercise it but it does not seem they wish to extend.

Any fee beyond a free transfer would not be huge but will be undisclosed.

It is a Nixon rumour but may have legs.

Hassell needs to weave his magic to get the deal over the line.

[EthelRed]

Whoopee just what we need.

Or an experienced leader?

[EthelRed]

I have read that we have offloaded Iseka at last, undisclosed fee as expected ( might save some embarrassment given what Conway undisclosedly paid for him). Now the Conway legacy is just the debt he left us in and that the clown still has some shares.

Or am I forgetting anything?
