Wiseman and Done off to Barnsley
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.
What to read next:
A point gained for the Swans : Allen isn’t dead Baggies ! Just over 14,600 attended this game at the Swansea.com. Take away the visitors support and around 13,000 Swans fans were allegedly at this game. Season ticket holders are always included whether there or not and the ground look very bare. If there was eleven thousand home fans at this game I would have been surprised. That’s a good few thousand who have stayed away this afternoon. And well down to what we could have expected on the last Saturday before the majority return to work on Monday.
Swansea City v West Bromwich Albion, plus Villa winger out of reach This morning we focus on a game which has lost itself to what we can call ‘football fatigue’ Especially after some of the extraordinary fall out after Luke Williams press conference yesterday afternoon. Unbelievable nonsense on one of the other websites, faceless, nameless and very obsessive.
Swansea City : The Luke saga drags on and on : What’s next today ? As the many thousands of views dictate on this website we continue to report matters of interest as we did yesterday morning on Luke Williams. A fairly concise and pertinent piece by our site owner. I suppose what every writer relies upon is for the reader to actually understand what is being said.
Swansea City : Does Luke know what he is doing to our club ?There has been much comment and it has to be said bar a few abusive idiots on social media a lot of frustration on those platforms regards Harry Darling and Luke Williams. Much of this brought about by the reluctance of Luke Williams to just clarify his position at Swansea City.
