Transfer Rumour Lamine Kone

Not open for further replies.

Too much stuff is going public on this one, Sunderland are handling this really badly, its all a bit of a mess, no rush for us, we have that spot covered and our doing business elsewhere, not like Dave to be dithering!!
 
Their fans I know genuinely have no idea where these lads are coming from, a new one just pops up every 18 months or so.

Massive catchment area round here mate.

Barnsley itself.

Lot of lads from Donny and Huddersfield.

The ones who don't get picked up by Bradford/Leeds, or the Sheff clubs.

Wakefield area as well (though that is primarily rugby league)

Plus they are brought up to actually 'play'.

Barnsley have always had a good academy as well. Used to be a bit of a feeder club for Utd/City.
 

If a manager these days is "full of himself" for expecting a player to come in for treatment and pull his finger out, then there's no hope for the future of the game.

It's not really that, it's more to do with Ginge's comments when he was trying to grab players from us to ManUre - the old "shouldn't hold players back" thing. Two-faced ballbag, by that reckoning he shouldn't be holding Kone's career back by keeping him at Sunderland. Just sayin' :coffee:
 
I want this beast in.

He has caused a stir just as Lescott did with us, who then went on to have a very decent settled career, we got Distin and Heitinga out of that fee and the world was a happy place again.

Once he has played for us and done well, all of this will be forgotten.
 
lollol Do you know if Holgate was compensation or a fee (sell on clause or not)?

Small fee I think, probably just less than the 2.2 paid for Stones.

Can't remember who it was it right now but yeah sounds right. I remember I was told that one of Holgate or Stones turned down Leeds in their youth.
 

Moyes standing up for a boss club like Sunderland the way he did for us with Lescott Baines etc. If we want him we'll have to pay, if not Sunderland keep their best player. We were all praising Martinez for the same thing with Stones last summer.

Holgate went to Leeds mate when he was about 14. Only spent a few months there though.

He had a trial at Utd as well before he signed for us.

Think it was in that Mail article a few weeks back.
