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!!!

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.

They want a fee for him, it's up to us to negotiate with them or pay it.

Sky have villa on frequently and Barnsley are lower popularity and very regional so they are running a far smaller ambition and club than the villa project . Steeped in history and tradition. Anyway I wish them luck for their cup final v Leeds on weekend.
