CARL-ANY TRUTH IN THIS????

Tue Jan 11, 2011 10:04 am

I've just been contacted by a complete stranger on Twitter who is also a Barnsley fan that seems to think Barnsley are willing to offer £2.5m plus Adam Hammill for Chopra???!!!! You heard anything like that??

Would certainly be interesting, if true.

Yeah, I would have laughed it off but there's a few things that make me think it's a posibility:

1- We like Adam Hammill
2- Chops played and had a good spell at Barnsley previously and would be almost guarenteed first team
Football.
3- Chops Twitter this morning read: "On a plane to Bristol, the plane is only half full so why do people come and sit next to me?" Was he flying back from Yorkshire??

Hmmmm, tell will tell I guess!!

Chopra has just found some goal scoring form - City need his quality to the end of the season.

This deal would make no sense to me.

He's the only real goal scorer City have if Bothroyd is unfit (Parkin aside) as Keogh has scored only 2 all season.

Hamill is lined up for Premier League by all accounts.

No get Vaughan and add to the sqaud strength.

Read the message boards.

The main "source" there seems to be an Owls fan... who apparently works for medical place in Leeds Chops having his medical "today"... who was apparently told player + cashd eal. As you do, telling transfer ddeals to staff working there....

Most Barnsley fans believe it's a windup.

we only have to offer 500k and hammil is allowed to speak to us(contract clause )

chopra worth 3M at least they would have to give us hammil + 2.5m at least , then chopras wages , no chance

Where are Barnsley going to find £2.5m?

Non starter.

If this happens then its deal of the century for us, well have money to pay for Vaughan just like Everton wants and I'd say Vaughan is a lil worse than Chopra, but he has the potential to become better
