I always thought one more season with us and he'd have got a move to big club rather than Liverpool 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty much where I'm at tbh, it's my lack of caring anymore. My Dad would kick me straight in the bollocks if he were alive to hear me say it. Sad times.

Very good for us, obviously, and we'd all love to see him back here. But it didn't work for him at Liverpool, he isn't working for him at Palace... is he really that good? There's a reason he didn't go to a CL club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Looks like Hourihane going to Sheffield Wednesday. Wtf. We should be on for this lad. All over Twitter.

Lord Willard Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'll be gutted if we haven't tried to go for him. Unless we're hoping to get McCarthy or something we should be in for him!!! Instant upgrade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvey13 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Alan Nixon @reluctantnicko 2h2 hours ago Barnsley will now try for a couple in next few days. There's a big reason Winnall is moving. It will come out shortly. seems barnsley are moving players around. maybe they have had some big money for a player and have a swap in mind too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 We don't need McCarthy.. we need goals and creativity from midfield. We need this chap or someone similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
