Dave The Buddie Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Whilst getting some cash in for Stevie and probably Lewis, its not the be all. JR worked his miracles on wheeling and dealing and I am sure he will again be looking at replacements.As for any young talent we have, I hope they go on to further their careers and potential, just as McGinn and Kenny did, we will always be a feeder club, just like every other team in Scotland.I just hope the moves the boys pick is the right one for them.... Mallan has been simply brillBarnsley would easily be top 4 in Scotland Barnsley got an average crowds of 13,000 last season with Newcastle, Leeds etc visiting. They would only easily get in the top 4 if they had the finances they get now. They are no bigger club than Dundee Utd or Hibs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on, let us know. I could do with a good laugh. I'd also like someone to name a single player that St. Mirren have sold on the cheap who has then go on to make his next club a large profit in the transfer market. Just one.

But it's ok to mix them up. They're all the same. Northern shiteholes........although admittedly I've never been to either.

That's one for any Barnsley fans 'dipping in'. See, we're a nice friendly bunch here. All those guys playing Billy Big Baws might care to reflect that the only reason they are able to attract so much TV money is because of TV companies who really only want Liverpool, Man U, Arsenal, Man C and Spurs. The likes of Barnsley are riding on the back of that just like every Scottish club rides on the back of the OF. Nobody actually gives a f**k about either of our sides. So maybe Troutman and his mates should remember that when they are swinging their ineffectual cocks around trying to impress us. They certainly shouldnt be bragging when they are engaging in financial doping like every other eanglish club.

Ronnie Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 I really thought Mallan would gave ended up at Hibs or Hearts as he is the sort of player (like Mclean and McGinn) who would fit in easily to their first team. I'm actually glad that is someone like Barnsley he is going to hopefully not too much pressure on his shoulders(due to small price tag) and he ends up being their best player over next season or 2 then get a big money move to someone else and our sell on clause gets us a nice little earner.

oaksoft Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) The Billy Big Baws might also want to reflect onnthe following. We have never been in administration. We could have done but we sold our ground to pay our debts instead. That has left our club's history intact and stain-free. Perhaps if Barnsley had the shown the same level of honour and decency they would not be in a position to essentially screw us for one of our best players. They should maybe show a bit more f**king respect. Or at least they should maybe try having the overheads associated with actually owning their own f**king stadium. Even our "conference" club has managed that. They rent from the council FFS. Edited May 15, 2017 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norman Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 I think people need to be a little more realistic about how much teams are prepared to pay for a 21 year old Scottish Championship player with one year left on his contract. £250k and a decent sell on clause if he happens to do well sounds about right to me. Mallan also deserves his move, and I think we do the right thing by our young players. We want youngsters and their parents to know that if you sign for St.Mirren and you are good, you will play, and if you do well enough, we will sell you to a bigger club, where you will earn a lot more money.

Dave The Buddie Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 You mean they are worse than Fakes and Sevco- Scary Yes I believe they would struggle to get in our top 4 if they were in the Scottish Premiership and had the financial constraints that our teams work under. St Johnstone have arguably the best manager out with Rodgers who works wonders year in year out in Tommy Wright.The move for Mallan to Barnsley is a good one for numerous reasons. More competitive league, money and better exposure to go to even bigger club than Barnsley. If he keeps progressing his stay at Barnsley could be a short one and could go on to better things.He deserves his move he has been excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luther G. Presley Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 I don't think this is the best move for him, Barnsley aren't a very high profile club and he could easily be forgotten about down there unless he is a standout for them, I think he should hold out, bigger teams than Barnsley will come calling soon enough.

Barnsley are a team who finished in the middle of the Championship and have aspirations of getting to the EPL, where they've been before.Where do you think he should go?I think this is a great move for him and I'm pretty confident he will do well down there. It was becoming clear toward the end of the season that he's far too good to be playing in the Scottish Championship. This move has came at the right time for him.

It's only not a good move if there are bigger clubs interested. The boy is a class act, but I have seen good players disappear down there, so the important thing here is that he trusts the manager who is signing him to give him the backing he deserves and help develop his career even further. As for being far too good for the Scottish Championship, it'd be nice to have that kind of player for another season, if it were possible...

Luther G. Presley Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 There is no danger Barnsley will be in the EPL in the near future, they are more likely to be heading to League 1. Somewhere like Leeds, one of the Sheffield clubs or even a club like Reading or Fulham would be a far better option, plus as others have stated Barnsley is a shithole.
