From BBC Gossip Middlesbrough, QPR and Cardiff City are monitoring Barnsley's English central midfielder Alex Mowatt, 25, and could make a move before the EFL transfer deadline. (Football League World) From Football League World "Middlesbrough, Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff City are among several Championship clubs keeping tabs on the situation of Barnsley central midfielder Alex Mowatt, sources close to the player have exclusively confirmed to Football League World. The 25-year-old’s future is still up in the air at Oakwell with talks between Mowatt and the Tykes’ hierarchy not culminating in a new deal for the player. Mowatt’s contract was extended back in May until the summer of 2021 when a clause was activated by the Yorkshire club, however any extension to that contract is still to be confirmed as numerous clubs now consider a move for the player. The Barnsley captain has played in all four of the Tykes’ opening league games and has proved to be an integral cog in their side, he also recorded three goals and eight assists last season in 44 appearances for the club. As per our source, no formal transfer enquiries have been submitted to Barnsley regarding Mowatt but the club are said to be ‘bracing’ themselves for bids as his future continues to go unresolved, with Middlesbrough, QPR and Cardiff some of the clubs who hold an interest in the player. It’s been a slow start to the season for Barnsley on the pitch, with the club picking up just one point from their opening four league games – they now have to contend with life without manager Gerhard Struber who has left his role at Oakwell for the New York Red Bulls."
sources close to the player have exclusively confirmed to Football League World. or "his Agent" in the common tongue Looks like someone is trying to drum up some commission and touting his player around a bit Of course if he does go on the last day - coupled with Ludewig on the last international day and no replacements coming in Murray will do well to break his not winning streak
To be fair, given the current state of affairs at the club, I would imagine a number of players have asked their agents to find them a way out.
Will be gone on or before the 16th. These charlatans would sell their grandmother's false teeth given the chance.

I would think that all the promoted clubs are on a similar budget to us so he is not going to be offered mega bucks from them. Plus they would struggle to remember wise the transfer fee. My view is that he will be gone by a week Friday or failing that at a reduced price in January, unless our owners stump up some more cash. If this were to happen some other "senior pros" will be knocking on Dane's door pretty quickly. We will not bust the pay scales for Alex.
No - it’s current. Reason being: He has a short time left on his contract. He’s a saleable asset. There are just a few days left of the transfer window. My advice would be to cash in - and although this is going to leave the squad unbelievably short of players - there are far better options out there.
Joking aside I'd play Isaac Christie Davies and Styles in the middle and play Williams at fullback again with Oduor as the other fullback.
He was Helen. I find it all a little strange. Letting Ludwig and Ritzmaier go. When they were aware Struber was leaving. Would be interested to know who actually they relied on to make those decisions. I would have waited for a new manager in place to assess and offload his dead wood so to speak. I think there is more going on in the background that we are not privvy to at this moment in time.
I would rather him in the team than play with the 10 men is the point I was answering to. I agree he was far from a good signing for us.
