Manchester United tell Barnsley: Shea Lacey is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

No deal for Jakov Medić at that price
Barnsley offered $490.0K; Norwich City said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

No place for Lucas Braga in the new shape
He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Barnsley are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
