He is 28The Red Robin said:How old is he now? We need better than this. They could have kept Yann for the same amount.

The following is what is on the SLP web-site.
"The South London Press understands that a bid in the region of £500,000 has been accepted by the relegated Tykes."
According to the Barnsley web-site he still has a year left on his current contract which I assume we will be paying something for that. It also states that he is 6'3".0 -
More importantly does anyone know if he's related to the world record holder Toxteth O'Grady ?3

We got Andy Gray from Burnley and sold him onto Barnsley.
I wondered if you were thinking of Redfearn as he scored goals from midfield for them but, needless to say, not us!0 -
Im sure we signed Danny Haynes from Barnsley1

I remember the last few we had bids accepted of, all the excuses under the sun were coming out. Didn't want to move down south, didn't want to sign for us... I'll comment when and if he signs for us, bid accepted means nothing if Chris O'Grady doesn't look what he see's within us0

just a point who thats WHO has actually signed him ? We aint got a manager .1

You've got to say we could do alot worse than O'Grady, scored goals for a very bad Barnsley side.
But I also thought we could do better for £500k.
I'd probably be happy if we signed him.0 -

I really do not get this, We've bid for a Proven, Championship goalscorer, who is also ENGLISH, not Belgian etc, yet some people still arent happy, I understand its nothing more than a bid but surely this shows good intentions and 500k , for us, is a good bid... surely thats positive?!?4

Barnsley fans seem to think 500k is nowhere near enough.

Yann - not everyone will agree with you but you keep saying what you think as often as you like. You don't have to seek permission.Yann897 said:
To be honest I ain't usually like that and didn't do it when Riga done well it's just everyone keeps doing it to me so I thought oh well , anyway won't do it again but am I allowed to say that I'm happy we're spending money on recognised strikers or not ?se9addick said:
It "proves" that there is £500k there. You don't do yourself any favours mate, I agree that sometimes there's over the top negativity from some posters, but trying to present any bit of rumour or gossip as vindication of the RD model makes you look like a propaganda merchant.Yann897 said:
True but it's been accepted so the money is there if we don't get him I'm sure they will use the money else where.se9addick said:
To be fair it only shows any of those things if we actually sign him.Yann897 said:1, shows we've got money and prepared to spend .
2, shows we're not only signing network players .
3, not only foreign players
4, he's a good solid championship player .
More optimistic about next season than I was half hour ago !
Very interesting.
Why not follow your own advice and wait until the end of the summer before you start the "I told you so"'s.0 -
Not sure why everyone is surprised at us spending money, didn't we spend more than 500k on Polish Pete?0

I think it must have been the night watchman - he's the only one left at the club when there's no manager.Goonerhater said:just a point who thats WHO has actually signed him ? We aint got a manager .

I'll believe it when he actually signs. The current policy seems to be to leak the bids, then act all disappointed when the player refuses to join the madhouse that CAFC is sadly becoming...4

For those of you with short memories, he scored BOTHgoals for Barnsley at the 2-2 draw at Oakwell.0

Good question but I get the impression that the coach is not involved in purchases and sue parkes suggested on Facebook that players would come in before the manager was in place. My suggestion would be that Mathews and Protheroe suggest to the network who agree or not and Kate does the paper work.Goonerhater said:just a point who thats WHO has actually signed him ?

I never saw Peeters play but going going by what I've read, COG could be a similar player to Peeters? Perhaps we're going to play off a big target man next year?0

Does seem slightly overpriced, but a step in the right direction and hey it's not our money is it.2

Didn't someone say he likes to play 4-3-3 with a big lump in the middle? COG could fit that set-upValley McMoist said:I never saw Peeters play but going going by what I've read, COG could be a similar player to Peeters? Perhaps we're going to play off a big target man next year?

Seems crazy really. I must admit I know very little about him, can't say I would recognise him eve if he got in my cab!!!..........BUT BUT BUT I must say IT feels great to read something positive at last!!!
Maybe we might have a manager next?!?! (Laughable really)
Good luck Chris.......you know it makes sense!!

If only we already had one of those that was gelled to the squad and loved by the fans...... cluelessness. Embarassing to watch all this, it's like letting a kid play around on football managerJ BLOCK said:

£500k for a player who scored 15 goals last season* and is in his prime as a footballer (28)
*15 goals for a team that finished 12 points behind us!
I personally think this is a very good signing if it goes through.

I just prefer the days when we kept it quiet until all signed and sealed.
