Ram looking at Tykes Captain

Barnsley have announced that Derby County have tabled a bid for their Captain Jason Shackell. Shackell is a 27 year old defender and has the leadership skills Nigel Clough is looking for to replace Robbie Savage.

The Rams of course are also likely to be without the services of Shaun Barker for the start of the season and Shackell would be a very good replacement and central defensive team mate if the transfer goes ahead.

Things never go easily for the Rams and this potential purchase is yet another example. The Tykes are currently without a manager after the departure of Mark Robins and until a new boss is installed no transfers will be going out or in to Oakwell.

When the new boss arrives at Oakwell it is thought a fee of around £700,000 would be asked for Shackell, who has formally played for Norwich and Wolverhampton Wanderers...
