Costello 77 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 1 hour ago, prowl said: I'm not convinced we need him, he's relatively inexperienced at this level and £28k is a lot of money to pay someone who might just be in a purple patch. No problem with the transfer fee, I just think we could do better for the wages On the other hand if he goes to Villa he has no idea if he will get a game. They are after so many quality midfielders he might just sign and find himself up against some top Championship players who are well proven at this level. It doesn't look like Villa are going to sign one or two they could sign 3 or 4 or more. I'm not too fussed either way, if we carry on playing 2 wingers and Hutch in the holding role. That only leaves I spot and Bannan, Abdi and Jones to fill it. It's only pub talk that 28k is on the table isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guedioura is a different sort of player, he'll compete with Jedinak and Westwood for a holding midfield role. Would be very surprised if they offload Jordan Ayew in this window considering he's away at the African cup of nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be very annoying if we miss out on him due to wages though, the lad is a quality player and we are paying out I guess at over 100k a week on players that just don't play Bin of Mcgugan, Nuhui, Urby and Dilena would more than pay his wage. Easier said than done though Yes, and there's another problem. We could sell several players to raise funds, but it doesn't alter our wage structure. The question is, can we accommodate him without dwarfing the wages of the other midfielders at the club? It's the old Jordan Rhodes problem again. How do we accommodate a £50K-a-week+ striker into our setup, when the other strikers are earning much less? We've got personal experience of this with FF. As an ex-PL club, Villa's wage structure will be more lavish than ours, so the likes of Rhodes and Hourihane would fit in much more easily.

Kanye West Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 They still seem very bitter about Winnall, I do wonder when they will let it go http://barnsleyfc.org.uk/showthread.php?252647-Winnall-did-say-our-fans-were-bobbar ps. Us starved of talent? I forgot they queued in the masses to see the mid table mediocrity of little Barnsley punching above their weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s6 owl Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 According to Barnsley fans he'll turn into a s**t footballer if he hasn't got Hourihane assisting him, I don't think they realise he'll be playing along side the likes of FF, McManaman, Bannan etc...

19owl08 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 There's several reports going around today saying Villa have the 20th highest wage bill in the world. Then there's the £50m in transfers they've spent. To think they are looking to spend more & still give big wages shows something is wrong with ffp.
