    Thinking on my part here.
    A few weeks ago, it was widely reported Barnsley, along with Celtic, had made enquiries about the availability of David Turnbull at Motherwell. It was reported at the time a £2m offer had been made, which was rejected by Motherwell. Rumours, although I've no idea on the accuracy, were that it was Barnsley who had made the offer.
    Fast forward to today and I see Barry Fry at Peterborough has decried the offer made by Hull to buy Marcus Maddison. Fry has said Hull haven't the money to buy Maddison, who apparently has a £2.5m buyout clause in his contract.
    I was wondering, if Turbull was indeed on our radar at £2m, is it possible we could be interested in Maddison for £2.5m?
    I think I ought to go back to drinking my mineral water and forget about reading, and creating, transfer gossip!:D
    Ignore me. As you were.:D

    I think you lost your audience at 'pie', mate. If you'd prefixed with 'vegan', I'd have probably turned off too..:)
    As always, I agree with your philosophy. Leave football dealing with the club & congratulate or tear new arses later...

    Not beyond the realms Lil. He certainly would be a good addition. Still not forgiven Fry for running
    up and down the touch line when Claridge scored again for Birmingham. Can't remember, did it finish 0-5
    that day.? Recall the Ponte end taunting Claridge by shouting gypo at him every time he got the
    ball, but he certainly had the last laugh that day.

    Thing is Kev, us fans are so bored during the close season, all we can do is speculate.
    Speculate as to who we’d like and, when our clubs actually sign players, speculate as to how good/bad they’ll be

    Hiya, Jeff. Hope you and yours are well.
    My lack of alcohol is making me ramble tonight, old mate. So just a normal evening for me!:D

    Yes mate, all good thanks.
    I’m juggling balls in the air by trying to be the best grandad ever and making full use of my passport.
    It’s a difficult balance lol.
    Hope alls well with you & yours, not been on here as often recently.

    All I remember in that game was the clacking of seats in the home end

    Not sure if Stendel would want to introduce that type of attitude into a feel good atmosphere at the minute.

    He’s a brilliant player as shown by the stats he produces but supposed to be a right b***end

    Good question. I'd run off by that point. Couldn't take any more.

    Good work mate. Some of the most politely tentative bullshittery I've read on here. Who do you fancy at centre half?:D

    PS it will never happen. Peterborough have hated us since Mile Jedinak. Then there was the Ganaye / MacAnthony spat...

    As I said, pure pie-in-the sky gibberish from myself. I have absolutely no idea what Maddison's attitude is like , so am unable to comment on it.
