Maybe somebody like Burnley take a punt on sheaf if they go up

I would think the only way he'll play in the PL is with us. He can have all the aspirations he wants but a PL team or a team bound for the PL would need to buy him. With his injury record I can't see that happening any time soon.
Leeds ?

I think the Blunts would be more likely but I am hoping they don't go up.

Maybe. I hope he gets the move he thinks he deserves, but I'm not holding my breath.

I agree.
It is unlikely that they will all be with us next season but in theory at least we could have Sheaf, Grimes, Rudoni, Torp, Eccles and Allen to fill the midfield slots. That’s pretty good for the Championship.
It might even be good for us if Sheaf leaves, provided of course that we get a good fee for him and spend it wisely in strengthening other areas of the squad.

They had half a season worth of games practically where the defensive record was in the top 4-5 teams in the league. They can work together.

Too early. Gentlemens agreements not allowed by FA rules. Can only see the deal finalised after the cut-off point for being registered on time for our game has gone by.

Unless I’m wrong it is not in rule book as such it would be allowed for clubs to make a handshake deal but if the club went against it, there’s nothing enforceable about it

Doug loves a last minute. I bet we announce it at 11.01pm Monday

Can't remember who it was but the subject came up years ago.

Might not be allowed but that is a classic example of a rule that could never be enforced

I don’t think there needs to a gentlemen’s agreement. I wouldn’t expect him to start, altering a winning team after having only 1 or 2 sessions with the team?
Leeds will be perfect, Allen can rest as Grimes can’t play in the cup anyway

You can argue it all you like, it doesn't change the fact that all official records will show the Luton , Man U and Sheff Weds results as draws.

Such awkward timing that we’re playing them on Saturday.

I agree. So why not delay finalising the deal for another day when it makes no difference?
Sky Blue Goblin

I mean he’s got his medical today, normally the last thing to do with these deals outside of paper work so who knows. Maybe we’ll have a announcement soon

An argument when I agree with you?
The game was a draw. The tie was won. But people seem to love arguing so state the 'facts' in their favour. And this subject is easier than most as the official records also show we lost the playoffs to Luton and the cup game to Manchester United and beat Sheffield Wednesday.

Git…I’m nearly at a stage where I’d erased the United injustice away.
You get deals done as soon as you possibly can. Planning delays adds risk that something happens to prevent the transfer, a rival bid, injury at training,change of heart by the selling club, etc etc …..

There's no way he will play in this game. What I have said is I can see it being finalised after the cut-off point yet some are trying to argue over this thought

The club has a one year option on both Burroughs and Howley contracts.

Interesting. Have you got a source on that, or ITK?

Play Off Final, FA Cup Semi, FA Cup 3rd Round vs Sheffield Wednesday... we won the best one for sure.
As an aside, i kinda feel like Dovin gives us way more of a chance in shootouts going forward. Bloke actually looks quite imposing, Wilson and Collins give off training cone energy.

Easy to make sense of it.... one is a rumour, another an action
The amount of crap spouted on social media this season is unreal and as the DK/DA forum proved in November, we as fans know very very little of what the reality is - less knowledge of what is happening but a more professional club

Great prospect. Well done to whoever spotted him and got the deal over the line. He will only improve with experience. Just hope we get to keep him for a few years before he is sold for a big fee.

Don’t disagree that he won’t play, just don’t think it’s beyond possible he signs before the game

Yes. Andy Turner said so in an article.

Show me where I said it is impossible that he will sign in time. A thought is just that. A thought. It isn't an invitation for hen pecked men to try and cause an argument they think they can win for once.

Ironic considering you want to try and argue against the grain on every single thread.
