Considering the shit it seems them lot at South Barnsley are in financially, desperate to generate funds from speculative schemes and with an inflated squad that they can't afford, are there any players in their squad worth a punt? Any RSCB or box to box midfielders that aren't getting a game and are worth a punt on?!

Ex pig players have generally done alright for us in the past.
 

I would take any of:

Lee
Bannan
Wallace
Forestieri
Rhodes
Winnall
Fletcher
Hooper
Abdi

We will take:

none.

With the exception of Lee and Forrsestfairy, all the above have had contracts at Premier league clubs and will be way out of our reach on wages. Forrestfairy chucked the dummy out last year and got an improved deal so he's probably on >£20k/week too.

Value for money? None of them, IMHO.
 
None thanks.

Wouldn't do them any favours and take any of those players of their hands. If they have overspent and need to change things up then tough shit. They have made their bed they will have to lay in it.

Well they would lay in it but they've got to pony up £1500 for a brass plaque first ;)

Winnall's reported wage was £28k/week. The figures quoted for Forestieir, Fletcher and Rhodes were far higher.

Piss off....really??
That's just blown my mind, 28k a week for Winnall is madness. And if they are paying those sums and above for the others then they deserve all they get.
Feckin Hilarious
 
Are they really in the financial shit?

I thought they had bucket loads of cash.

But in answer to your question. Hutchison; because he's the only one with any passion
 
A realistic signing, and I have no idea what kind of nick he's in, would be Lewis McGugan. I believe he's been on trial with Cardiff.

Unrealistically,

Westwood - Best keeper in the league
Hutchinson - Great player who gives everything. Fortunately, he's injury and angry-prone
Hooper - always rated him.
Lees
In fact, add Fletcher, Winnall, Wallace, Rhodes - basically, any of their strikers.
Abdi - albeit may not fit into our formation
Boyd
Bannan
Loovens

Just buckets.

Their owner apparently has the cash (unless he's borrowed it, which he insists he hasn't) but they've reached the FFP limit, with a shed load of players who aren't playing on expensive contracts that they can't get rid of.
 
Liam Palmer.

Doesn't fit into the Wendies' Galactico template. But he's the sort of honest (but skilful) player who'd excel here.
 
Nip in with a bid for young hirst imo....

Being fair they have some good players - be worth bidding for a couple if it wouldnt release some funds to ease their financial fair play restrictions to sort out thier lopsided squad.

Imo they'd be as well cutting their losses on Rhodes and using the 6-8m proceeds elsewhere
 
Well I wouldn't know any of the fuckers if they turned up on my estate and grunted at me. They are meaningless nonentity names on the back of shirts to me. They've got one called Ja Kunt haven't they?

I do know I wouldn't swap their team for ours. Imagine how Tufty would react to a ten million pound non-striker who hasn't the bottle to take a pig-pen in a crucial game?

All of them are way off our wage scale including McGugan who managed a couple of U23 games last year including the game they lost against us. I read on here that he was way off the pace and our 17 year old Regan Slater was far superior.
 
Winnall's reported wage was £28k/week. The figures quoted for Forestieir, Fletcher and Rhodes were far higher.
I thought it was closer to £18k? There was talk his wages had increased four fold from Barnsley, where he was on around £4.5k.

Forestieri, I believe is one of their highest earners at around £40k.

Perhaps I was told wrong:

Rhodes was on £42,308/week at Blackburn. I doubt he's accepted a pay cut in 2 big money transfers:

Alex Babtiste £33,846/week! WTF!!
 
No matter how much I hate them Hooper and Kieran Lee are class. Totally unrealistic tho.

The one player I do think we might have a chance with us Winnall (if he lowered his wage demands). When you talk about players with something to prove... he's it. Would be destined to bag in both derbys.
 
Forgetting wages the one I'd have is Winnall and I'd think he fits the pr9file of the type of player Wilder likes, young with plenty to prove. If they paid his contract off and we got him on reasonable wages he'd be a good addition.
 
Why on earth is there a thread on Wednesday players!? The only ones we would want are in their first team squad and they aren't going to come here, nor could or would we want to afford their wages! Nor would Wednesday sell us the likes of Rhodes, Fletcher, Forestieri, Bannan etc and to be honest I wouldn't want (for the transfer fee they'd demand) any of them.
