Athelwulf Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 1 minute ago, Barr Grylls said: Yes but they have already spent over 50m this season, surely they are towards the limit. Maybe, it's difficult to judge. Hourihane would be a good replacement for Lee, and our rivals know it. So they've got an added incentive to sign him. We'll have to pay big money/muito dinheiro to get him, especially after signing Winalot from the Reds for 500K. Taking my Wednesday hat off, if that's the real figure it's scandalous. Looks like things are turning ugly up the road already, so the only way Barnsley's board will be able to justify Hourihane being sold to us is for big bucks.

The only way is S6 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Mate who has an ST at Tarn for years says he's their best player, runs the midfield, good passing & shooting range. His only weakness is he won't tackle or do the 'dirty' grafting in there. Leave that to Bazza & Hutch then. Welcome Mr Hulahoop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Reminds me of Glen Whelan a bit. Perhaps less nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sign Hourihane now's his chance to immediately seize a place in the first team and force Lee to fight his way back in again next season. That would be some serious midfield competition.

FlyingOwl Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Would be a fantastic replacement for Lee whilst he's out. And then gives CC a massive selection headache next season. But a midfield of McManaman, Hourihane, Hutch & FF with Hooper & Winnall up top....wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see some added height in our "dwarf" midfield, Hutchinson apart. We lose out a lot in midfield through lack of height and always useful when defending corners and free kicks. Asking a lot I know....looking for the perfect midfielder I suppose, for not a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Sewell Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 When we played them recently, i thought," who's that cocky so and so" , had to look him up on the scoreboard. Then I kept an eye on him, thinking, he's the sort of player opposing fans hate, bolshy, talkative Irishman.. Always looking forward , to create something or have a go himself.Looks exactly what we need to me. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest addedtime Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 My Dingle supporting workmate says Winnall can easily be replaced, but Hula Hoop would be a big loss to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Being honest I can't see us getting Hourihane. More to the point I can't see Barnsley selling him to us now they've let Winnall go for nothing to us. Their fans would throw a fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Villa were rumoured to be interested the fees quoted were around £4 million, despite the fact he's only got 6 months left on his deal. If we're getting anywhere near that they've got to consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have to pay over the odds to make it acceptable to their fans. They doubtless feel how we're going to feel when Everton wave a PL cheque under young Hirst's nose.

Bluesteel Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 If Hourihane is out of contract then they have one arm up their back. But if Villa come in and offer 4m for a guy with six months left we have no chance surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmer type? Tell me. Box to box scorer. Probably cover for Lee... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
