To be fair Radio Sheffield told everyone it was a done deal
Quote from: dickos1 on January 08, 2021, 06:01:04 pmTo be fair Radio Sheffield told everyone it was a done deal......and didn’t Hoden suggest that it was happening too.
The media also suggested Billy Sharp had signed for Burnley - and did they not once intimate that O'Driscoll had agreed terms with them too.
Dont believe everything you read then.I guess that includes twitter.

Apart from locality, I really don’t know why Ben would want to go there. They are an average championship club with little ambition - a team we used to more than match in our championship days. Unless we are absolutely desperate to sell (we are led to believe we aren’t) or, he’s absolutely desperate to leave (we are led to believe he isn’t) then why go? There will be plenty of options in the summer for him, whether we go up or not and we will probably get a better fee. Unless either of the above applies then it makes little sense, given the position we are in

Absolutely true, but how they’ve got several million quid to spend after a year with no income is beyond me.

What is strange is why leave now if only Preston is on offer? We have a decent chance of going up and he would be captain of that team, with option then to stay with us in Championship or move to another Championship club when his stock is even higher. The whole Preston move looks a waste for him. I don’t expect him to stay with us long term but as we are not in a rush to sell him, it would have thought he could wait a bit for a better offer for himself than Preston.

It doesn't make a lot of sense.We're so early in the transfer window anything could happen, but if Ben wants to go there's only so much the club can do.
