Just glad it's not another Scottish team
Aye, 300k which we could afford but if we went for him Barnsley would have payed more and got him anyway. Good luck to him.
No disrespect but, Barnsley? :confused:Quote:

They aren't really. They pay more. That's about it.Quote:

Quite why anyone struggles to understand why players sign for unfashionable teams in that league is beyond me.
Best of luck Steve. Going to miss him. Do we get a percentage of any sell-on fee? I'm sure, knowing Rod, something will have been arranged.
