Oh course he is, Barker did struggle in League One if we're honest even though you can't knock his efforts for the club. It is clear from his comments since he left that Barker has wanted to leave for a while. I don't think the idea of the move endeared him from the start (I don't believe he didn't want to play for us I just think it was the traveling in the style of Ian Moore). Wilson didn't let him go until he had a suitable replacement, had he signed a keeper we'd have more keepers in the squad than forwards at the moment plus an unhappy Richie Barker.

mr thin and crusty and mr pj i doth my cap to you both. Excellent posts both of you. Thats exactly what i have not been able to put into words.

Obviously, or there'd have been no point in signing him, but all things are relative.

We are in total agreement ... and if it all goes tits up we can blame the recession and not being able sign more players. Mind you if the chairman says money is available, the balls in Dannys court.

How do you know Dimi would want to come back to Pools on loan?

Dimi himself said on the bbc website that he had offers from 2 championship clubs and pools.

I asked him in nexus did you wanna come back and he said well aye, well not well aye, hes not from west view, but you know what i mean.

depends on a number of factors
would he have chose us over swansea?
what wages is he on and would we be able to afford them?
Would the board allow us to bring another keeper in without getting rid of one first?

did he say this,"καλά aye άτομο"?
