I can't recall any big profile fall outs with those 2? Imagine if it had happened in a Champs League game live on TV. Feck me, that would've been bad.

Am I right in thinking the last time you went up, you didn't sell your better players? Either the summer before, Or in Jan? If Barnes is to add to what you have, then that's ambitious.

I think you're right, we didn't have any real outstanding/valuable players that season. We did have 2 transfer embargoes that season, one because we couldn't pay a couple of installments on Chris Eagles, can't remember the other one.

If so, you have 2 very good players. I was hoping we would sign Wells.
I will believe it when I see the 2 lads stood on your pitch holding the Claret scarves above their heads.

Me too, kind of hope we don't get both, as I think that would mean bye bye Danny.
