Would be good if Hourihan could get him signed on a pre nuptual agreement to come in the summer, then that would force Barnsleys hand a bit & reduce them playing hardball games

Well we'd be breaching all sorts of rules if we did that.

Pat Murphy claiming that this is done for £2.75m and we hope to see Hourihane deal close to being agreed with Barnsley later today.

Hourihah!

The big knobs have gone round the table and yanked the iron out of the fire.

Blackadder ?

I don't see a problem with them trying to get as much money as they can. They don't have to agree to the deal we want.

Likewise, I don't see a problem with us agreeing something with the player.  Nobody raised any questions when Everton did it to us over Cleverly.

And with good reason, otherwise we may have been stuck with him.

And if we've paid £3m for Forrest's captain I can understand why Barnsley may think £1m for theirs is a bit derisory (if the numbers being mentioned are true)

There are all sorts of figures being bandied about.  Last week it was 1 million, accepted from Sheffield Wednesday.  If this is true, why should we be held to ransom just because of what we paid for someone else?

There was also the interesting comment from the Dr last week that clubs are stalling, to enable them to play the players for as long as possible.  This has to refer to Barnsley as Lansbury didn't play, likewise Rhodes.  It will be interesting to see Barnsleys team tomorrow.

Cleverly agreed to join us for £7 million.  Everton came in and they agreed to sign him at the end of his contract.  We ended up loaning him for £1 million or something and he left for free 9 months later.  MU lost out on the fee because Everton tapped  him.

We had the option to sign him in Jan, same as Manure had the option to recall him in Jan. Both were part of his loan agreement when he joined us. He was shit so he just remained on loan to us for the rest of the season.

Bruce seems pretty sure this is a done deal. The boy wants to come so its just haggling over a fee, I presume.

We only had the option to buy if he would have agreed to signing, why else was the initial transfer changed to a loan AFTER he spoke with Everton?
