    3 year deal. Wonder if he's rinsing them dry since he must know they're desperate for players?

    Thank god we aren't following this route any more.

    3 year deal on probably fairly decent wages for a 30 year old way past his peak. Bonkers.

    It feels good to be a Barnsley fan at the minute, mate.

    Totally. This may be a once or twice in a lifetime feeling. Perhaps the older boys will have more example, but not since promotion to prem have I love our team so much. In fact I love this team even more. The turnaround, the work rate, the limitations some laid on players just blown away. Absolutely incredible.

    I do worry that those fans that still aren't happy never will be. I hope this feeling continues. But in my 34 years I've only felt it twice!

    I'm only 23 myself mate, I barely remember the Prem season. So for it's definitely the best feeling I've had when it comes to the Reds. Along with the cup run in 08, I could burst with pride.

    It's bloody incredible fella. 23, 34, 101. Every Barnsley fan every age must be enjoying this and just going along for the ride. Just wish my little boy was older so I could go to more games, and take him along. I pray the Crynes still run the club when he's old enough to get into football (if he wants!) as the pride I feel with our club is incredible.

    Me too mate. Always have a soft spot for them. And Doncaster. It's like your little brother. Annoying at times but you still look after them.

    Sheffield Wednesday are just like your embarrassing Uncle who thinks he's the dogs ******** but you just feel sorry for him and cringe when he tells his story's of the glory years.

    Sheffield United are your ****er Cousin. Who you wish wasn't related to you but they live in the same bloody area and you have to keep seeing them at weddings and funerals. And every time they just embarras themselves by getting pissed up.

    Leeds... They're your step dad who beats your mum. They're scum and always will be

    I really fear for Rotherham, a club I like unlike all our other local rivals. A 3 year contract for a 30 year old striker who has played 59 games in the last 3 years and scored 10 goals! Probably a lot of those appearances were as sub too. This smacks of utter desperation and that's a real shame.

    Has Wabara got a club yet? I think theyve signed a right back but it really wouldn't surprise me if they get him too - as well as any other freebies

    Think Rotherham are a shoe in for relegation this season.

    A squad of aged journeymen one last pay day footballers with no re-sale value.

    I had them, Blackburn and Burton to go down. Burton looking decent at the minute though, wonder if they can keep it up.

    Same here. Burton look good and have made some very astute signings though so they could do it.

    I also saw this, couldn't believe. They're terrible when it comes to reporting on BFC... And apparently even when they're not!
