Looks to be a certainty according to this;

I suppose weve still got the wage cap to consider. Good luck Jon.

Yes, good luck feller - if you go.
I'd be delighted to get half the money we spent on Barker for him, despite the age differences.

reading throught the dundee websites this morning...

and its wonderful how certain things are written....

Dundee United were given a slight boost in their hopes of signing Hartlepool forward John Daly, with the news that the Victoria Park side have secured the services of Richard Barker.

It was confirmed yesterday afternoon that Hartlepool & Mansfield Town has agreed a fee for the striker, believed to be around £80,000.

The signing of 31-year-old Barker could mean that they are preparing to lose Jon Daly, who has been strongly linked with a move to Tannadice.
Although, Craig Levein is remaining tight-lipped about any potential transfer targets, because it might affect his current sides morale.

"I am trying to strengthen the team. I'm looking at a few people, but I wouldn't like to say at this stage," Levein told the Courier.

"I don't like to mention names or talk about positions as it may have an impact on player morale."

Irish born Jon Daly has also played for Stockport, Bury and Grimsby. The 23-year-old is Hartlepools top goalscorer at the moment, with 9 goals this season.


if the deal is sorted.. i wish big john all the best and hope he doesnt turn out like another Steve Howard....

Which he will of course!!

He'll prob score a skip load in scotland, its barely football up there.

I've never rated the lad but good luck, at least in scotland he can't make me eat my words of not rating him.

I've occasionally seen fitba on the telly thanks to a certain pub owner's obsession with Celtic.
All I can say is the matches are a bit rustic, especially when the Motherwells and Falkirks of this world come up against the better teams. It could suit Jon's style, although I'm yet to be convinced this move is more than a rumour or wishful thinking by someone.
