It's a BIG NO from me, he did the crime and has served his time, but having come back I don't see anyone out there putting more effort in than Bardo, it makes no sense to be selling players to fellow strugglers to help them out, I think this is a Journo making up stories just because the transfer window is about to shut.
Can't sell this lad to Fulham it would be a massive blow to us and a massive boost to a rival club, is clawing back 1 million worth jeopardising the premiership fortunes!!
What I can't understand is how our players are all apparently (according to the press pricks) being sold to teams around us - Stoke (Catts & Fletch) and Bardo (Fulham)? Who next? Are we going to sell Mannone to West Ham? Makes absolutely no sense at all. As Arsenal found out, it is not the best thing to sell to someone competing with you in the same league and at the same end of the league - sell to someone up the table or in a different league/division
I would only sell Bardsley if we could get Lowton from Villa. I really rate the lad, always have done and he would suit our style of play, just perfect.
Spot on Marcus, why strengthen teams around you? I would keep the lot of them until the summer and rebuild then. We might lose a few million but not as much as relegation.
Could be way wide of the mark here like but I can't see Bardsley going to Fulham. I would be extremely disappointed if he did.
Bit of a turnaround eh lads? Earlier this season most were baying for his blood.... now its keep him whatever the cost! Nowt so fickle as footie fans. Just goes to show that if a player makes the effort and works his socks off, he can win back the crowd!
He's a must stay for me, especially for the derby tomorrow. I'll always remember him as the only player in the horrible derby defeat that deserved to wear the shirt with the possible exception of Catts. Must stay must play
@Sports_Byte EXCLUSIVE: Phil Bardlsey's agent confirms a bid was made for the Sunderland defender but that he is going nowhere ‪#‎SAFC‬ ‪#‎TDD‬ ‪#‎sunsport‬
If we didn't have a cup final coming up i wonder if Barnsley might of wanted to go, probably a question that can't be answered.
So it is Fulham playing mind games to get one of our better players confussed as to where he stands. Couldwell be the same with Stoke knowing that there is no deal to be had play with the minds of Catts and Fletcher in the hope that it effects their performance
