Quote from: PeterWithesShin on January 20, 2017, 02:31:03 PMWe 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.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?

Us or Everton wouldn't have paid £7m for a player who was out of contract a few months later.

They don't have to agree to the deal we want.

Notwithstanding the ins and outs of the Cleverley deal, Kodj is right he could sign a pre-contract agreement with us. That would leave Barnsley under no illusions of what will happen in the summer. But to be honest I'm not sure how much it would assist and being based on a free transfer may make the agent greedier than the deal to move now. Also, we want him now not in the summer.
Bruce seems pretty sure this is a done deal. The boy wants to come so its just haggling over a fee, I presume.

Also, we want him now not in the summer.I agree with what someone else said earlier. £1m is nothing nowadays, they might as well keep him until his contract runs out (if that fee is correct). My point was, if Barnsley are asking for a couple of million-ish, then I don't blame them.
They'll also see us as a club who have already splashed out £50m. They'll try and squeeze as much out of us as they can.

Get this one over the line as soon as. This.

I can name heaps of other clubs in league one bigger than them milwall ,charlton ,sheff utd , bolton even coventry despite plight and league 2 Portsmouth. Bradford are bigger too. Likes of walsall crewe luton Doncaster Swindon Peterborough are on par or bigger than them. And these clubs would welcome 1 to 3 million. Barnsley A plucky cup team -Johnstone paint trophy winner merely a club who have to step on . Come on now Barnsley you're playing with the big boys just let the lad go!!!
