SHEFFIELD Wednesday are monitoring the outcome of contract talks between Barnsley and Stephen McPhail.
The former Dirty Dirty Leeds United and Republic of Ireland international midfielder has yet to sign a new deal and may opt to leave as a free agent if Barnsley fail to win promotion.
Owls manager Paul Sturock deployed coach Mark Smith to check on McPhail in Barnsley's game against Southend and is determined to strengthen his midfield.
McPhail, 26, is regarded as one of the best left-footed players outside the Premiership and was a member of the Dirty Dirty Leeds squad that reached the semi-final of the Champions League five years ago.
Now, after two years playing League One football, he is desperate to play at a higher level but could yet achieve that goal with Barnsley who are on course for play-off qualification.
"We're all committed and want to get into the Championship, that's the main aim," said McPhail. "I've spoken with the chairman about a new deal, so it's in the pipeline, but we have to wait and see. Most of the squad don't know where they are next season and it's a bit unsettling, especially going into such big games."
Victory over Bradford today will guarantee a play-off place if Nottingham Forest lose to Bournemouth.
Defender Neil Austin has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a torn hamstring and and is set to be replaced by Bobby Hassell.
Centre-back Matt Carbon will miss out again with a groin injury but should be fit for the final league game of the season against his former club Walsall.
Manager Andy Ritchie is confident that his side can win promotion and wants to extend the unbeaten run of four games to ensure the club is on a high as they enter the play-offs.

I think he would be a good signing for you. He seemed to do a decent job for Forest a couple of years back.

He was a good solid player while at Leeds too. Haven't really seen much of him at Barnsley, but he was shocking in the play off 2nd leg against Huddersfield that I watched. I have to admit I was surprised he continued to play in the lower leagues as he obviously has decent talent. Best of luck to you in getting him I hope this is one more step in your resurgence.

we're not getting him, King Paul said he'd looked at him but decided he wasn't the type of player he was looking for, saying he's a good footballer but we need someone athletic.

So not only did he basically call \mcphail a fat bastard, he also confirmed that wednesday won't be playing football next season. Instead we will bring in talentless atlhetic people to run after the long balls from our keeper, lovely.

Popes dead, and so is any deal for Mcfly because weve got Lenny c*nt
