Doesn't sound like this deal will come off according to Butcher.

We wont be able to compete with the likes of Celtic etc. unfortunately. Could be a long frustrating summer again. Need Evans to dig deep!

Poll: Will the new season ticket prices make you renew for the 2017/2018 season?

Unfortunately, I think we may need be buying players as the majority of decent players available on a free will be too expensive for us.

Poll: What will be announced first?

Burnley also apparently interested, would say we have 0% with this one then unfortunately.

Well this is depressing. Watkins looks a talent and the sort of player we could do with on the flanks. Pacey, decent delivery and gets a few goals / has the ability to play up top.

Poll: How much did you actually think Mick would spend in January?

Danny Ward is very a similar player and the same age, so as long as we someone of similar mould i will be happy

That's what I thought too, and when I've seen both play, they've occupied said positions. I do think Watkins can play up top but is better suited out wide.

Ward played much of his career at Huddersfield on the wing, but has moved inside more at Rotherham. He runs the channels well and has good off the ball movement. Isn't the biggest but his athleticism allows him to compete in the air. Also got a powerful shot on his left foot.

So not a target man in the same way as Hugill is, more an all-round forward who i think would work very well in front of/next to DMG

I seem to recall when we played at Barnsley their media said he'd suggested he had Premier League clubs after him in January.

Phil did we actually ever make a concrete bid for either Watkins or Ward in Jan like we did with Hugill?

He's been mentioned with joining Leeds in the recent past too... i'd say we might as well move on at this point.

Don't know about Watkins in January - although we did in August - but pretty sure we did for Ward.

We had our chance to get him last summer but as usual we wouldn't pay the money required. I expect he, along with Hugill will go on to be a real players elsewhere and worth 2-3 times what we would have paid.

This is where I have some sympathy with MM, it seems he can certainly identify a player but is constantly let down by lack of backing /ambition from the owner.

Think it was more the case Barnsley weren't prepared to sell full stop as they'd already sold several other players - and received a big sell-on for John Stones - by the point we approached them after Murphy's departure.

Makes you wonder who MM would sign out of the 3 now if he had the opportunity. From what I've seen my choice would be Ward.

Dammit, was hoping for this signing. Would be like Marley and ME.

I'd probably go along with that. Certainly Ward and Hugill are strikers first and foremost whereas Watkins is primarily a wide player.

The reason we are signing players from non league is because it's cheap wages. Division one sides will spend more than us.
