Where Barnsley are is irrelevant.
John Byrne
Mike Small
Leon Knight
Bobby Zamora
Peter Ward
All signed from teams worse than us.
Leroy Lita was supposedly from a better team.......
What is wrong with some people.
Only eleven players scored more goals than him last season. All eleven were playing for teams in the top half of the table with the exception of McCormack.
He is the only player to score 15 or more in a Championship relegated side last season.
What's not to like?
There was a time when a Championship side picking off the best players of a relegated side was seen as the norm and the right thing to do. It's sad that people on this board only get excited if we sign a totally unproven Spaniard, but then moan when we sign a proven Championship striker.
