Former Dale boss Keith Hill has returned to Spotland to secure the services of Scott Wiseman and Matt Done.

In a move that has divided supporters, Wiseman and Done - two of the star performers from last season - have both followed their former gaffer's path to Oakwell and signed for Barnsley.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the two is the sale of Matt Done. It is only a few weeks since he signed a new twelve month contract at Spotland after a year at Spotland where it was only in the latter stages where he fully established himself as a first team player.

Certainly, it was no surprise that Wiseman would attract a host of suitors after a string of fine quality performances last season that seemed to improve as the season went on.

Dale Chairman Chris Dunphy admitted that Dale had received a very good deal and it is believed that the fee heading our way could hit as much as a quarter of a million pounds for the duo who both arrived at Spotland on free transfers.

jdalec added 22:01 - Jun 21 Hill famously said that Thompson was a Premiership player in the making! Well keith since you have taken one step closer to the Premiership why not put your money where your mouth is and take Joe instead of leaving him with asset stripped Dale !!!!
