Conor Hourihane - thanks and farewell

[Lsvilla]

What's the word from Villatransfers on Twitter?. Usually pretty accurate. Seems to be dragging after Tony's 99% tweet?

Said the following about 20 mins ago:

still expecting Hourihane today, even if it is tomorrow - he will be a villa player. I hope it's done today people are panicking as it is

Shucks, two seconds too slow ...

[Walmley_Villa]

Apparently Palace rumoured to be in for him....

Matty James has joined Barnsley on loan, i wonder if that's been the hold up.

[onje_villa]

Remember feeling like this about Veretout. That didn't work out so well (though I still think he's a decent player)!

It has.

It has.

Barnsley gaffer has said :
"we've seen one midfielder depart this week, but conversely we’ve brought in another who is hugely experienced and talented, so I’m delighted that we’ve got the deal done."

That's Conor hourihane out Matty James in.
Suitable replacement for them . Good loan option

[mr underhill]

We need to see him in the shirt Slillz

I didn't want to start a new thread for this but, seeing how we're doing business with Barnsley there's bound to be a good few looking in here. I got to thinking how many players we've bought from Barnsley in the past.  I can only think of two: Frank Barson and Danny Blanchflower.

I've tried to find somewhere on the net but am drawing a blank.  Anyone know of any others?

Stuart Gray during the last relegation season? Maybe we sold him to them.

[olaftab]

In all honesty if he has the choice to play for Palace in the Premier League rather than us, I am sure he would take it!

You mean sit on the bench at Palace or play every week at Villa?
And don't forget if you are an Irish boy you would remember which club your heroes played for😊( ok albeit before he was probably born or very young)

[cheltenhamlion]

He will be confirmed before the weekend.

Yup.  That's one I never thought of.  Came to us in 1987 and moved him on in 1991 to Southampton.  According to Wiki.

Didn't we sign Lee Butler from Barnsley?
