Wiseman and Done off to Barnsley
Former Dale boss Keith Hill has returned to Spotland to secure the services of Scott Wiseman and Matt Done.
In a move that has divided supporters, Wiseman and Done - two of the star performers from last season - have both followed their former gaffer's path to Oakwell and signed for Barnsley.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the two is the sale of Matt Done. It is only a few weeks since he signed a new twelve month contract at Spotland after a year at Spotland where it was only in the latter stages where he fully established himself as a first team player.
Certainly, it was no surprise that Wiseman would attract a host of suitors after a string of fine quality performances last season that seemed to improve as the season went on.
Dale Chairman Chris Dunphy admitted that Dale had received a very good deal and it is believed that the fee heading our way could hit as much as a quarter of a million pounds for the duo who both arrived at Spotland on free transfers.

Farke happy with the result after bore draw at NorwichMany neutrals have complained on social media that yesterday’s game at Norwich City was a bit on the dull side, but the Leeds team wasn't set up to please them. For us it was the result that mattered, and it should leave us in a better position to get through to the final.
