smhouston Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 For the best. Yes they are relegation rivals but I genuinely believe that we are not candidates for that anymore. Also, cog is not exactly a 20 goal striker. It frees us up to bring another player in. He's still our top scorer, not bad for the amount of times he's started Got to admit I will be extremely concerned if this is true. He is an absolute handful. Loan him out yes, but not to someone we are competing with for survival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Exactly, your opinion of COG should be irrelevant, it should be a given that you don't loan players to immediate rivals in your league. So you wouldn't loan them Enoch Showumni then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbr_bob Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Alan Biggs â€@AlanBiggs1 O'Grady loan to Barnsley looks great deal for club & player. Flitcroft link, potential pairing with Scotland. Brave of #swfc to loan there. Or foolish.... Edited January 31, 2013 by cbr_bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Foxhill Owl Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Question: Which would you prefer? 1) Barnsley buy COG for 150k now - he is now their player and can play whenever and against whoever he likes for the rest of the season. 2) Barnsley loan COG for a loan fee + his wages then buy him for £300k in Summer - he can't play against us 2) easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoyBeevers Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 All depends on the replacement. Methinks that this is the first in a chain of deals that will happen today that will leave us stronger than we were yesterday. And stronger relative to our relegation rivals too.

BenitoCarbone Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Unless Barnsley pay us everything they got for Stones, I am not very happy with this... If we go down and Barnsley stay up, it'll be a riot. Good deal for the player, though... Wish u all the best , COGBA!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Loaning a player to a relegation rival is a flippingstupid idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smhouston Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Saying what i said above....IF it means we bring in someone a lot better then that is fair enough I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chow Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I wish him the best, jones should have continued playing him. He will score a few for barnsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I don't get this "why would we loan to one of our relegation rivals" talk. At the end of the day we've just loaned them a striker who doesn't score goals so that "hopefully" we can bring one in who does. Excellent bit of business if you ask me.

Past Member Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 So you wouldn't loan them Enoch Showumni then? No, a player should NEVER be loaned to a relegation rival. Barnsley obviously think COG can help them avoid relegation. We're not FORCING COG on Barnsley, they WANT him to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee A Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Seems a strange move, not the fact that we are letting him go, but letting him go to them. But, more than willing to wait and see how this works out before throwing any toys out of the pram, O Grady has done alright this season, but the fact is he's scored 4 league goals, if somebody comes in and scores 10 for us by the end of the season, this will look like a good move.

WalthamOwl Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I really hope we now bring a decent striker in, surely the only possible reason for loaning COG out to Barnsley is to free up wages so we can improve our team, if we dont its just a crazy move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo hippy Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm not against it if it means we get someone else in he' s a lower championship / league 1 player that if we want to progress should be sold also our main rivals currently are ipswich / brum / hudders, get above them and it doesnt matter how well COG plays for the dingles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not FORCING COG on Barnsley, they WANT him to stay up. If Barnsley were the only people interested, if we need to save COGs wages so we could sign Messi, would your stance still remain? It's all relative. They strengthen, we strengthen more BUT our strengthening was only made possible thanks to Barnsley strengthening. Makes perfect sense IF we are getting a better striker in thanks to this. If we sign nobody, then it's a ridiculous move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
