Groundhopping Owl Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 3 hours ago, Ironman said: Really hope we get the guy. Hourihane plus a solid centre back as back up, someone in the Micheal turner mould, and it'll have been a great transfer window. I'd forgotten we had Turner. Didn't think he looked particularly special tbh, was good in the air and pretty strong but very slow. Loovens is a better option than him. If we're going to sign a centre back I'd much rather sign a young one from lower down the leagues who we can develop - like Brighton have done with Connor Goldson. Either that or a cheap but solid option like Michael Mancienne, who is reliable, a decent age and his contract is up in six months. Forest want to offload while they can still get a fee for him because his wages are too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19owl08 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Just saw this on DingleTalk. I'm pretty sure Hourihane has same agent as Winnall which may explain why they're refusing to quote us.

prowl Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 If the player has signed the contract I'm not sure Barnsley could pull out if they wanted to. I would have thought that a contract would legally be in force at that time. As I say, I'm not sure, I don't know for definite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelowl Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 be difficult to pull out of a signed deal but the agent's mate needs a slap I'd hope they'd be more professional and mindful of BFC's position over getting CH out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 They could have withheld his registration for a day or two? Who cares in any event. Winnall has moved to us, the Dingles are crying and having to console themselves with a six knuckle shuffle and we will probably take Hourihane off them too for sh*ts and giggles.

They don't have the same agent As for them wanting to pull out of the deal and/or refuse to sell Conor Hourihane to us because of something an agent did, something completely out of our hands... grow up Barnsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plethora of targets for Villa, we've got just the one... Makes me think Hourihane will either be playing for Wednesday or Barnsley come the end of the window, looking decreasingly likely there's a third option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Nixon saying Villa are planning a £3 million bid for Guedioura, Watford midfielder we were linked with last year. Could mean they're less interested in Hourihane if they are successful, but they may want both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) I'm sure serenading Hourihane for twenty minutes will have made him change his mind and decide to stay... It's not just the Dingles tbf. We had a fair share of numpties tweeting and facebooking a certain striker up until last week with similar sentiments. Thankfully that striker wanted to stay and signed a new deal. If a player has made his mind up, then there's not a whole lot you can do. Barnsley have backed themselves into a corner with these contracts. Pretty sure they'd have tied a few of them down had they offered new deals in the aftermath of the play off final.

TheEnchanter Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Don't think Villa know who they want. They're in that limbo stage of needing to get rid of players if they want to sign an expensive midfielder like Cairney (which would take their spending to nearly £70M this season on transfer fees). Or whether they go for a cheaper option like Lansbury or Hourihane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
