    There is such a thing as players who can play in more than one “ natural” position… A managers dream player , but I know what you mean . The more of them in a side the more the team can adapt tactics during the game or indeed cover injured or suspended teammates . Rare commodities in our Divisions , James Milner was probably one of the best ?

    Edit
    I should say “ still” , he’s just signed another deal for Brighton at 39!

    A Barnsley fan blog saying they are hoping the young lads coming through will be good enough to take first team places, he was suggesting Shepherd would be able to make the jump.from League Tow to Leagud One, it's a big risk.

    Yep....he was a RWB convert last season - did what Wright couldnt do. Not his natural position by any stretch but adapted well. A fantastic player to have in the squad if he can cover multiple positions.

    A risk I would take Dave, a cash bid could tempt them , say £350k ish? I suggest that’s been tried already , hence Tilt / Kelly both signing?

    Something going on in Yorkshire
    Sheffield weds, Hull and Barnsley all struggling
    Won’t be long before we are the top team in the region again

    I'd have been happy with that but Barnsleys centre backs were woeful last season so can see why they would not want to let him go unless the money was right.

    Paul Madley (Mr Versitility) was a player who played under Don Revie and played every outfield position for that great Leeds side.

    He's just made the TOTS for playing RWB and is the position we scouted him in. It would be absolute stupidity to start playing him in a different position. Round pegs, round holes.

    Has your source said anything else about the player that was 'in the building' earlier in the week?

It would be absolute stupidity to start playing him in a different position. Round pegs, round holes.
